CPC Class H04N

A first stereo camera has a first image pick-up portion and a second image pick-up portion arranged on the right side of the first image pick-up portion in a lateral direction of a vehicular main body. A second stereo camera has a third image pick-up portion and a fourth image pick-up portion arranged on the right side of the third image pick-up portion in the lateral direction of the vehicular main body. The first image pick-up portion and the third image pick-up portion constitute a left image pick-up portion group. The second image pick-up portion and the fourth image pick-up portion constitute a right image pick-up portion group. The left image pick-up portion group and the right image pick-up portion group are arranged at a distance from each other in the lateral direction of the vehicular main body.

A method of using a photogrammetry system to produce a three-dimensional image representation includes placing an object in the photogrammetry system, illuminating only a plurality of polarized lights, capturing a polarized image capture set of the object using a plurality of cameras while only the plurality of polarized lights are illuminated, and sending the polarized image capture set to the at least one computer processor. The method further comprises illuminating only a plurality of non-polarized lights, capturing a non-polarized image capture set of the object from the plurality of cameras while only the non-polarized lights are illuminated, and sending the non-polarized image capture set to the at least one computer processor. The method still further comprises using the at least one computer processor to generate a three-dimensional image representation of the object includes comparing the polarized image capture set and the non-polarized image capture set.

A camera module, which is mounted on an inside of a front windshield of a vehicle and configured to image an external environment of the vehicle, includes multiple lens units on which an optical image of the external environment is incident, individually, and an imaging system to generate an outside image of the external environment by imaging through each of the lens units, individually.

Dual or multi-modulation display systems are disclosed that comprise projector systems with at least one modulator that may employ non-mechanical beam steering modulation. Many embodiments disclosed herein employ a non-mechanical beam steering and/or polarizer to provide for a highlights modulator.
