The ADAS Camera Calibration Process

The specific calibration process can vary depending on the make, model, and year of your vehicle.

Static Calibration

This involves parking the vehicle in a controlled environment, typically indoors, facing specialized targets. The ADAS cameras and sensors are adjusted to align perfectly with these targets, ensuring they capture the correct information from the road ahead.

Dynamic Calibration

Driving the vehicle on specific routes allows the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to collect real-world data and self-calibrate based on the information gathered during the drive.

Why ADAS Camera Calibration is Important

The ADAS camera mounted on the windshield is a key component in many Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). It acts like an eye for the car, capturing visual information about the road ahead and its surroundings. This information is processed by the car’s computer to enable various ADAS features. Here are some of the features supported by the ADAS windshield camera:

Lane Detection

The camera can recognize lane markings on the road. This allows features like Lane Departure Warning (LDW) to alert you if you’re unintentionally drifting out of your lane and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) to provide gentle steering inputs to keep you centered.

Traffic Sign Recognition

The camera can identify traffic signs, such as stop signs, speed limits, and road work signs. This information can be displayed on the dashboard or projected onto the windshield (Head-Up Display) for easier visibility.

Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

The camera detects vehicles ahead and can estimate their distance and speed. This allows features like Forward Collision Warning (FCW) to alert you of potential collisions and AEB to automatically apply the brakes if an imminent collision is detected.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

The camera can maintain a set distance from the car in front of you by tracking its position. This automatically enables ACC to adjust your speed to keep a safe following distance.
