night. A thermal imaging camera detects human beings, animals and objects in front
of the car before they become visible to the human eye in the headlights. The
image generated by the system is transmitted to the central Control Display within
the car presenting objects detected with increasing brightness as a function of
the heat detected by the camera - and therefore making human beings and animals
particularly conspicuous. |
