Nikon has developed an innovative in-vehicle camera system in
conjunction with Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC).
The camera features an optical lens that captures both telephoto and
wide-angle imagery simultaneously, enabling users to see far-away
objects while checking their peripheral vision at the same time. The
camera will be exhibited for the first time at the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, January 7-10, 2025.

The optical axes of the far-away and periphery shots are the same,
which prevents the parallax effect. When used as an in-vehicle
camera, AI systems can perform image recognition to collect road
information that requires tracking, such as road signs or other
vehicles in the distance. The dual-camera system reduces the issue of
losing track of objects or seeing a double image.

When used as an in-vehicle camera, the integrated telephoto and
wide-angle lens system will mean that fewer cameras have to be
installed in the vehicle while still providing seamless 360-degree
surround view coverage, offering the benefit of reducing system costs
and failure rates.

The camera can be integrated into advanced driver-assistance systems
and autonomous driving technology, helping to enhance visibility and
prevent serious accidents caused by drivers not seeing signs or
pedestrians.

Nikon and MFTBC have been working together on the camera system since
2020, which is initially intended for use in trucks and buses. Nikon
says that it is also exploring a variety of possibilities to expand
the use of the technology not only in vehicles but also in other
diverse fields.
