NIGHT VISION SYSTEM IN

AUTOMOBILES
 ABSTRACT
 The recent day automotive industries are running towards
an endless target in technology aspects with innovations.

 Night vision system (NVS) that uses infra-red rays and

thermal imaging technology that provides high-resolution
visibility in the darkest road conditions to eliminate
impact-related injuries.

 It picks up the faintest traces of light or heat from the

obstacles and transforms it into a clear picture.
 INTRODUCTION
 Unforeseen accidents are nothing new, but the advent of
safety products such as antilock brakes, seatbelts, air bags.

 Now, automotive safety features such as infrared imaging,

laser sensors, light-emitting diodes, and semiconductor
technology are surpassing human abilities.

 Night Vision Systems (NVS), a DRS Technologies

Company has been selected as the master distributor for
Laser Devices.
Why infrared?
 Active infrared night vision combines infrared
illumination of spectral range 0.7–1 μm with CCD
cameras sensitive to this light.

 Active infrared night vision is now commonly found in

commercial, residential and government security
applications.
 THERMAL IMAGING
 Thermal imaging is a heat-sensing technology that can see
in complete darkness.

 Infrared is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum with

wavelengths that are longer than visible light.

 These electrical impulses are then sent in the form of

temperature values to an image signal processor that turns
them into video data for presentation on a display.
CAR WITH NIGHT VISION SYSTEM
 WORKING
 The front of the car that pick up heat from objects and
processes the thermal signature to display images on a
quarter video graphics array (QVGA) display (320x240-
pixel resolution) mounted on the dash in the center of the
vehicle's console.

 It has a range of around 980 feet (299 meters) and can pan
in the direction the vehicle is heading.

 The NIR system in the Mercedes illuminates everything as

if it were in the high beams of the vehicle
FIR TECHNOLOGY IN BMW
 ADVANTAGES
 Accidents are controlled.

 Doesn’t affect the existing driving style.

 Night vision system can be switched on and off.

 DISADVANTAGE
 Cost of implementing this system’s high.

 NIR system doesn’t handle fog well, cannot see through

the dense condition.
APPLICATION
 Military-issue night-vision goggles

 BMW's passive system uses far-IR or FIR technology

 Benz uses an active system

 CONCLUSION
 Lead to information of technologies like night vision
system.

 About 42% of fatal can accidents happen at night,

according to the European commission for the automobile
industry.

 The innovation and implementation of night vision system

has a great impact on automotive session such as saving
many lives from death reducing accident at night.
