Field of View (FoV) as a crucial optical characteristic for camera systems in automotive.
The Field of View (FoV) describes the viewable area that a camera can capture. Different applications in the vehicle will determine the FoV range that will be needed to fulfill the operating requirements. For example, in Surround View Monitoring (SVM) systems, a horizontal FoV of 180 degrees or more is required. In Camera Mirror-replacement Systems (CMS), on the other hand, the horizontal FoV required will be less than 100 degrees.

The FoV of a camera determines the extent of the observable world captured at any moment. For different driving scenarios we have cameras with the following FoV in our portfolio: • 𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗼𝗩 (𝟲𝟬.𝟲°): Ideal for front-view applications like collision avoidance, lane departure warnings, and traffic sign recognition.
• 𝗪𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗩 (𝟭𝟭𝟳°): Suitable for e-mirror systems and blind spot detection, offering a broader perspective than traditional mirrors.
• 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗩 (𝟭𝟵𝟴°): Essential for surround view systems, providing a comprehensive bird’s-eye view to assist in parking and obstacle detection. Benefits of VIA's Camera Solutions
