Night
Vision
with
pedestrian
and
animal detection
Principle 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.
General
information The
system
detects
warm
objects
that
are
simi#j
lar
in
shape
to
human
beings
or
animals.
If
nec#j essary,
the
thermal
image
can
be
displayed
onthe
Control
Display.

Thermal
image
The
image
shows
the
heat
radiated
by
objects
in
the
field
of
vision
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
freeze
frame
is
displayed
at
regular
intervals
for a
fraction
of
a
second.
Pedestrian
and
animal
detection
Object
detection
and
warning
only
functions
in
darkness.
Objects
whose
form
is
similar
to
people
with
suf#j
ficient
heat
radiation
are
detected.
In
addition,
the
system
also
detects
animals above
a
certain
minimum
size,
for
instance
deer.

Environmental
influences
can

the
availability
of

detect
that
the
