Abstract:
A vehicular image pickup device includes an image capturing unit, a fill light unit and a processing unit. The image capturing unit captures a driving image. The fill light unit provides a fill light of a fill light intensity. The processing unit obtains, by conversion, a frequency spectrum of the driving image, detects a frequency domain location in the frequency spectrum, and fine-tunes a shutter speed of the image capturing unit, a gain of the image capturing unit or the fill light intensity of the fill light unit according to whether a signal appears at the frequency domain location in the frequency spectrum.

Claim (Index 1):
An image capturing method, comprising the steps of:\n capturing a driving image by an image capturing unit; obtaining, by conversion, a frequency spectrum of the driving image; detecting a high frequency domain location in the frequency spectrum; and fine-tuning a shutter speed of the image capturing unit, as well as a gain of the image capturing unit or a fill light intensity of a fill light unit, according to whether a signal appears at the high frequency domain location in the frequency spectrum; wherein the step of fine-tuning the shutter speed or the gain of the image capturing unit and the fill light intensity of the fill light unit comprises:\n in response to a signal appearing at the high frequency domain location, not adjusting the shutter speed, the gain or the fill light intensity; and \n in response to no signal appearing at the high frequency domain location, increasing the shutter speed and decreasing the fill light intensity or the gain.
