Front & Rear Wide View Monitors
Displays left-to-right 180-degree wide view, supporting driver detection of nearby hazards
At
intersections
with
poor
visibility
or
when
backing
up
while
parking,
this
system
displays
180-degree
video
on
a
monitor,
assisting
drivers
with
blind
spots.*
It
features
two
functions:
Front
Wide
View
(for
intersections
with
poor
visibility
and
moving
forward)
and
Rear
Wide
View
(for
parking
and
backing
up).
These
two
functions
can
be
controlled
by
buttons
on
a
touch
panel.
Moreover,
the
Car
Navigation
Front
Wide
View
works
in
coordination
with
the
car
navigation
system,
automatically
turning
on
the
Front
Wide
View
when
the
car
stops
near
a
location
pre-registered
in
advance
by
the
user.
The
system
delivers
safety
support
to
the
front
left
and
right
at
locations
where
the
system
is
often
used,
such
as
an
intersection
near
the
driver’s
residence,
without
having
to
operate
the
system
manually.

Technology Functionality
A monitor displays a wide field of vision to the front and rear of the vehicle, allowing drivers to check what is approaching the car at distances up to 50 meters away. By making it easier for the driver to detect vehicles approaching the driver’s car, it enhances driver confidence when at intersections with poor visibility or when backing out of a parking space.
Technology Configuration
The Front & Rear Wide View utilizes the on-board camera and video processing unit used in the Around View Monitor system. It adds processing that reduces image distortion. High-resolution images are processed from the super-wide-angle cameras attached to the front and rear of the vehicle that can shoot video laterally at an angle of approximately 180-degrees. Through the navigation system checking the position of the vehicle and its direction of travel, it is now possible to detect when the car leaves a narrow road and enters a wider one.
