With the rapid development of image and computer vision technologies, more and more technologies are being applied in the automotive electronics field. Traditional image-based reverse camera systems are only installed at the rear of the vehicle and can only cover a limited area around the rear. The blind spots around the vehicle and in front of the vehicle undoubtedly increase the risks to safe driving. Collisions and scrapes often occur when driving at low speeds on congested city roads or during parking. The main reason for these frequent incidents is that drivers face numerous visual blind spots during driving and cannot fully grasp the situation around the vehicle.

To expand the driver’s field of view, 360° environmental awareness must be achieved. This can be done by installing a 360° AVM surround view system to fully monitor the area around the vehicle. The 360° AVM is an bird view panoramic monitoring system designed to assist low-speed driving by providing drivers with a complete real-time view of the vehicle’s surroundings.

AVM technology typically features 4 wide angle cameras, with each camera covering one side of the vehicle. Expansive view, with a horizontal angle exceeding 210°. The calibrated cameras are installed at the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle to capture all areas, including blind spots that traditional mirrors cannot cover. The images from all cameras are then stitched together through a surround view video control box to create a seamless 3D panoramic view, ensuring that drivers can monitor the situation around the vehicle in real-time on the monitor screen. This results in “multiple cameras, 1 image, 0 blind spot.” Additionally, a custom vehicle model UI can be set to fit the actual vehicle, providing a more intuitive monitoring experience.

This technology has been widely applied in the sedan car industry and is equally suitable for various large vehicles, as their blind spot are more prominent. The advantages of the 360° surround view system become even more apparent, helping drivers of large vehicles more easily recognize their surroundings and minimizing collisions caused by blind spots. This is especially important for vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, who are not easily noticed. By providing drivers with a comprehensive and clear view of the road, accidents can be avoided.

Beside, 360° surround view system with real-time recording and playback functions. It can record and store driving videos for later review and analysis. This feature is invaluable in the event of an accident or dispute, as it provides valuable first-hand evidence to aid accident investigations. Drivers and fleet managers can view the recorded footage to check the vehicle’s driving behavior, understand the cause of an accident, and take appropriate measures to improve road safety.

Aotop is a leading developer and manufacturer of in-vehicle visual safety system solutions in China. The 360 system we developed built-in advanced AI visual algorithms to support 360° blind spot pedestrian & vehicle detection function for the entire vehicle. The system provide drivers with a trinity of reminders:【image + light + sound】 through the in-car monitor (vision) + blind spot (BSD – LED) indicator light (light) + intelligent voice broadcast horn (sound). At the same time, the external sound and light alarm is linked to promptly remind pedestrians or non-motor vehicles entering the blind spot, thereby improving driving safety in all aspects and further ensuring the safety of other vulnerable road users.
