At CES 2025, where Nikon plans to exhibit, they will exhibit an in-vehicle camera system. Nikon co-created with Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus, that combines a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens to enable viewing of both distant and nearby objects.
Nikon and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus have been working together since 2020 to create new value for trucks and buses of the future. As a result, they have established a system that uses a camera that combines a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens to enable the driver to check both distant and nearby objects. Nikon will continue to explore all possibilities to apply this technology not only in vehicles, but also in a variety of other areas.
Main Features
- Realization of integration of telephoto lens and wide-angle lens
Realization of integration of telephoto lens and wide-angle lens, making it possible to capture distant and surrounding objects at the same time. Since the optical axis of distant and surrounding objects is the same, no parallax occurs. Therefore, when an AI recognizes information around the vehicle using images, even if it tracks a sign or other vehicle recognized in the distance, it can reduce the problem of losing sight of the target or recognizing it twice. - Effective placement on the vehicle body reduces costs and failure rates
When used as an in-vehicle camera, a camera system that combines a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens can be effectively placed on the vehicle body, allowing for uninterrupted 360° coverage while limiting the number of cameras installed on the vehicle, which is expected to reduce system costs and failure rates, which were previously issues.
At the CES 2025 exhibition, visitors will be able to experience the effects of the main features mentioned above through VR footage.
