New "Crown" equipped with newly developed night vision system December 25, 2003 09:02 Source: Nikkei BP Toyota's new "crown" can be equipped with a newly developed "Nightview System". The system uses a near-infrared camera to capture the front of the vehicle where nighttime drivers find it difficult to see. Through the front upper display screen, it shows the situation where the headlight cannot reach, prompting the driver to find pedestrians and road obstacles as soon as possible. Although the author of "LandCruiser Wegon Cygnus", which was listed on the company in August 2002, actually tried the night vision system, the system developed this time has many differences with the original system. There are roughly two different aspects. First, there is no dedicated near-infrared projector used by the original system. Cygnus was originally equipped with light projectors at both ends of the front of the vehicle, but this time, it used the High Beam Light. Based on this, it was equipped with a Cut Filter, which can be illuminated horizontally like the high beam light. Near infrared. The visible light removal filter is movable and uses a cylindrical shape that wraps the high beam. It can be switched with the high beam light used normally. Since there is no need for a dedicated light projector, the design is more concise than the original system (posted live commentator). In addition, the estimated cost can also be reduced, the matching price is 300,000 yen (about 20,000 yuan). The near-infrared camera used to capture the object is located near the inner mirror like the original. Another difference is that the front upper display shows more information than before. The original camera can only display the captured images. In addition to the images, the system developed this time can also project the display speed and simple navigation screen.
