What's the Difference Between 360-Degree Surround View and Rearview Camera?
1 Answers
The difference between 360-degree reverse camera and rearview camera lies in the number of cameras and the system configuration. The rearview camera typically uses only one camera, while the 360-degree surround view system generally employs 4 to 6 cameras. The rearview camera is primarily used for reversing to monitor the road conditions behind the vehicle, whereas the 360-degree surround view system not only assists in reversing but also helps in parking by displaying the surroundings of the car on the vehicle's screen. More details are as follows: 1. The 360-degree surround view system is a parking assistance system that provides a 360-degree panoramic view of the car's surroundings on the vehicle's display screen, offering a wide-angle, seamless, and real-time image (bird's-eye view). This system helps drivers understand blind spots around the vehicle, making parking more intuitive and safer. It is also known as the panoramic parking imaging system. 2. The 360-degree surround view system installs four wide-angle cameras around the car to cover all viewing angles. These cameras process multiple video feeds simultaneously into a single 360-degree overhead view of the vehicle, which is then displayed on the central control screen, effectively eliminating all visual blind spots around the car.
