Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 3):
A camera module configured to be mounted on an inside of a windshield of a vehicle and to image an external environment of the vehicle, the camera module comprising:\n a plurality of lens units having optical axes, respectively, wherein the optical axes are shifted from each other, an optical image of the external environment individually enters within angles of view, which are around the optical axes, respectively, the angles of view are different from each other; and an imaging system to perform imaging individually through the lens units and to generate an outside image of the external environment, wherein under a definition that a noted set is a set of the lens units, in which angles of view overlap with each other, depths of recognition field of the lens units, which belong to the noted set, overlap with each other, in which a far point of an other of the lens units is between a near point and a far point of one of the lens units in the external environment, each of the far point of the one and the far point of the other defines a limit position of image recognition which is implemented by imaging through the corresponding one of the lens units, each of the lens units, which belong to the noted set, individually satisfies Lc=EFL 2 \u00b7Pc/(FNO\u00b7Dc), in which a corresponding near point is a near point of corresponding one of the lens units, Lc is a distance from the corresponding one of the lens units to the corresponding near point, EFL is a focal length of the corresponding one of the lens units, Pc is a pixel pitch of the imaging system, FNO is an F number of the corresponding one of the lens units, and Dc is a diameter of a circle of confusion in the imaging system.
