Patent ID: 8305431

Claim:
A device intended to support the driving of a motor vehicle for use in a system for the capture of images, wherein said system for the capture of images comprises a stereoscopic system for the capture of images, said stereoscopic system comprising a first camera and a second camera, said first camera having a first field of vision larger than a second field of vision of said second camera, so that said stereoscopic system confers a degree of multifunctionality on said device for driving support; said first camera first field of vision is defined by a viewing angle generally centered on a direction of travel and said second camera second field of vision being generally centered on said direction of travel and said first and second fields of vision defining an overlapping zone; wherein said second field of vision falls entirely within said first field of vision, said first and second field of visions being generally centered on a direction in which the vehicle is traveling so that both said first and second cameras capture said images of a common object in front of the vehicle so that images captured by said first and second cameras within said overlapping zone provide stereoscopic vision within said overlapping zone.
