Abstract

A separate-type camera lens vehicle reversal monitoring device comprised of an individually disposed camera lens, imaging component, image processor, and power supply circuit that are interconnected by a transmission cable, an arrangement that enables minimum component exposure and simple installation which increases product utility and provides for vehicle reversal safety.

Claims

1. A separate-type camera lens vehicle reversal monitoring device comprised of a lens imaging component and an image processing/power supply circuit board that are individually disposed and connected via a transmission cable that enables communication between them, wherein the said lens imaging component consists of a lens charge-coupled device, a signal amplifier, and a horizontal/vertical (H/V) driver compensation circuit;

the said image processing/power supply circuit board consists of a correlated double sampling circuit/automatic gain control amplifier, a digital signal processor (DSP) with camera system controller, a horizontal (H) driver, a vertical (V) driver, an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), and a power supply, with the said transmission cable of up to approximately 100 centimeters in length interconnected between the said circuits and components to enable signal transfers and thereby complete the installation of the separate-type lens vehicle reversal monitoring device of the present invention.
