Night
Vision
withpedestrian
and
animal detection
Concept
Night
Vision
with
pedestrian
and
animal
detec#j tion
is
a
night
vision
system.
An
infrared
camera
scans
the
area
in
front
of
the
vehicle
and
issues
a
warning
if
it
detects
pedes#j
trians
and
animals
on
the
street.
The
system
de#j tects
warm
objects
that
are
similar
in
shape
tohuman
beings
or
animals.
If
necessary,
the
ther#jmal
image
can
be
displayed
on
the
Control
Dis#jplay.
General
information
Thermal
image
The
image
shows
the
heat
radiated
by
objects
in
the
field
of
view
of
the
camera.
Warm
objects
have
a
light
appearance
and
cold
objects
a
dark
appearance.
The
ability
to
detect
an
object
depends
on
the temperature
difference
between
the
object
and
the
background
and
on
the
level
of
heat
radiation
emitted
by
the
object.
Objects
that
are
similar
in
temperature
to
the
environment
or
that
radiate
very
little
heat
are
difficult
to
detect.
For
safety
reasons,
when
driving
at
speeds above
approx.
3
mph/5
km/h
and
in
low
ambientlight,
the
image
is
only
displayed
when
the
low
beams
are
switched
on.
A
still
image
is
displayed
at
regular
intervals
for
a
fraction
of
a
second.
