This paper investigates the performance of a vehicular rear-view camera through quantifying the image quality based on several objective criteria from the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). In addition, various experimental environments are defined considering the conditions under which a rear-view camera may need to operate. The process for evaluating the performance of a rear-view camera is composed of five objective criteria: noise test, resolution test, OECF (opto-electronic conversion function) test, color characterization test, and pincushion and barrel distortion tests. The proposed image quality quantification method then expresses the results of each test as a single value, allowing easy evaluation. In experiments, the performance evaluation results are analyzed and compared with those for a regular digital camera.

Car rear-view camera system supplies services for safe driving and easy parking by showing the rear-view of the vehicle through a monitor when reversing the car. In this paper we researched implementation methods and technology of a Car Rear-view Camera System based on the Binary CDMA technology-new technology of wireless personal area network developed by Korea - that makes free installation without wired cables restriction and reduces installation costs. Through this research we manufactured a prototype system, and researched the implementation of camera input and monitor output modules, Binary CDMA wireless communication and application programs for wireless video transmitter and relay server.

Due to vehicle personal injury accident does not, and to analyze the cause and prevention of a variety of devices and technologies are coming out. Among other things, representative of the black box, and rear camera. Despite these advances in technology, and vehicle human injuries continue to occur. The reason for this is that the children, the negligence of the driver or the vehicle is in reverse when a person suddenly passed the back of the vehicle, or the rear of the existing detection system is properly detected was unable to. Therefore, In this paper, we want to design a black box to reveal the cause of the accident, using Kinect to prevent accidents, rear-view camera and rear integrated black box system.

Reverse parking guidance system help driver's safe reverse parking with display of the expected reverse path of the car on portable navigation device or rear-view camera display. In this paper, we suggest a reverse path prediction method of vehicle which reflect the differences in steering angle according to various types of vehicles and calibrate easily the distance error according to the property and the installation position of rear-view camera and we developed reverse parking guidance system with the our reverse path prediction method. This system can be applied to various types of vehicles, a variety of characteristics and installation of rear-view camera and navigation support systems, or portable devices are compatible and easily detachable, can be configured easily.

In this paper, we propose a blind spots elimination system using three cameras. A wide-angle camera is attached on trunk for eliminating blind spots of a rear-view mirror and two cameras are attached on each side-view mirror for eliminating blind spots of vehicle's sides. In order to eliminate blind spots efficiently, we suggest a method to build a panoramic mosaic view with two side images and one wide-angle rear image. First, we obtain an undistorted image from a wide-angle camera of rear-view and calculate the focus-of-contraction (FOC) in undistorted images of rear-view while the car is moving straight forward. Second, we compute a homography among side-view images and an undistorted image of rear-view in flat road scenes. Next, we perform an image registration process after road and background region segmentation. Finally, we generate various views such as a cylinder panorama view, a top view and an information panoramic mosaic view.

Autonomous cars require the integration of multiple communication systems for driving safety. Many carmakers unveil mirrorless concept cars aiming to replace rear and sideview mirrors in vehicles with camera monitoring systems, which eliminate blind spots and reduce risk. This paper presents optical vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications for autonomous mirrorless cars. The flicker-free light emitting diode (LED) light sources, providing illumination and data transmission simultaneously, and a high speed camera are used as transmitters and a receiver in the OCC link, respectively. The rear side vehicle transmits both future action data and vehicle type data using a headlamp or daytime running light, and the front vehicle can receive OCC data from the camera that replaces side mirrors so as not to prevent accidents while driving. Experimental results showed that action and vehicle type information were sent by LED light sources successfully to the front vehicle's camera via the OCC link and proved that OCC-based V2V communications for mirrorless cars can be a viable solution to improve driving safety.

In the recent parking assistant systems, finding out the distance to the object behind a car is often performed by the range sensors such as ultrasonic sensors, radars. However, the installation of additional sensors on the used vehicle could be difficult and require extra cost. On the other hand, the motion stereo technique that extracts distance information using only an image sensor was also proposed. However, In the stereo rectification step, the motion stereo requires good features and exacts matching result. In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm that extracts the accurate distance information for the parallel parking situation using the consecutive images that is acquired by a rear-view camera. The proposed algorithm uses the quadrangle transform of the image, the horizontal line integral projection, and the blocking-based correlation measurement. In the experiment with the magna parallel test sequence, the result shows that the line-accurate distance measurement with the image sequence from the rear-view camera is possible.
