VEHICULAR AROUND-VIEW DRIVING MONITOR AND RECORDER
First Claim
1. A vehicular around-view driving monitor and recorder, comprising:
- a plurality of wide-angle cameras, which are respectively mounted to locations around the structure of the vehicle to shoot the round-view raw images;
a real-time image monitoring and recording/playing unit, which is connected to a plurality of wide-angle cameras to synchronously receive and store the raw images;
a visual image operation system, connected to a plurality of wide-angle cameras to receive the raw images, is further comprising a raw image acquisition unit, a visual image processing unit, and a display processing unit, wherein the raw image acquisition unit synchronously receiving and temporarily storing the raw images from the wide-angle cameras and is forward connected with the visual image processing unit for further processing the temporarily stored raw images, and the visual image processing unit is forward connected with the display processing unit; and
a display device, connected to the display processing unit of the visual image operation system, which is configured onboard a vehicle to display the processed visual images from the visual image operation system.

Abstract
A vehicular around-view driving monitor and recorder includes a plurality of wide-angle cameras, a real-time image monitoring and recording/playing unit, a visual image operation system, and a display device, which enables a real-time monitoring and recording of around-view raw image data shot by wide-angle cameras. The present invention also performs a real-time visual processing which includes data correction toward the twisted raw images, image overlapping and a combination of algorithmic operation via the visual image operation system to convert those raw images shot from cameras into round-view ones shown on the display which fits the driver'"'"'s visual practice and driving habit, and provides better safety, correct and convenient visual assistance and driving judgment. Alternatively, the processed images could be displayed in a bird-view mode to have an additional circumferential reference. Therefore, it is applicable to drivers'"'"' visual assistance and the recovery of traffic evidence of various types of vehicles.
