Camera Image Operation Principle
- Power is supplied to rear view camera from camera control unit and the rear view camera outputs the camera image to the camera control unit when selector lever is set to reverse position and the reverse signal on camera control unit is input.
- Camera control unit superimposes the guiding line and predicted course line to the image from rear view camera and outputs to display unit. In this case, the reverse signal is also input to AV control unit. Therefore, AV control unit recognizes the selector lever as in the reverse position. And then AV control unit switches the image displayed by the communication signal between AV control unit and display unit with the camera image.
- Camera control unit controls the direction and distance of the predicted course line according to the sensor signal from steering angle sensor.
- AV control unit determines whether rear view camera is equipped or not, based on the presence of camera connection recognition signal. It switches to rear view monitor image at the time of reverse signal input when it is equipped.
- Warning message under the rear view monitor display is described by AV control unit.
