Structure for attaching stereoscopic camera in vehicle
First Claim
1. A structure for attaching a stereoscopic camera system to a vehicle, by which a plurality of cameras are attached on a body frame of the vehicle in order to stereoscopically capture images of an area surrounding the vehicle;
- the structure comprising;
a lateral stay for coupling the plurality of cameras to each other; and
brackets for fixing at least one of the lateral stay and the plurality of cameras on the body frame, the brackets provided at a plurality of points on at least one of the lateral stay and the plurality of cameras fixed on the stay;
whereinthe rigidity of at least a part of the brackets is lower than the bending rigidity of the lateral stay; and
said lateral stay is connected to the body frame only through said brackets.
