3.￿KAFAS
As￿the￿requirements￿placed￿on￿the￿KAFAS￿camera￿have￿increased￿in￿the￿G12,￿the￿existing
monochrome￿camera￿has￿been￿replaced￿by￿a￿stereo￿camera.
KAFAS￿stereo￿camera
The￿KAFAS￿stereo￿camera￿is￿composed￿of￿two￿high-resolution￿CMOS￿monochrome￿cameras,
which￿are￿installed￿in￿a￿housing￿with￿approximately￿20￿cm￿between￿them.￿The￿KAFAS￿stereo￿camera
housing￿now￿also￿serves￿as￿an￿equipment￿holder￿for￿the￿KAFAS￿control￿unit,￿which￿has￿more￿powerful
processors.
KAFAS￿stereo￿camera
CMOS￿cameras￿are￿characterized￿by￿their￿low￿power￿consumption,￿compact￿size￿and￿very￿high
frame￿rate.
CMOS￿=￿Complementary￿Metal￿Oxide￿Semiconductor
The￿KAFAS￿stereo￿camera￿is￿calibrated￿within￿a￿distance￿of￿approximately￿2￿km￿during￿driving.
The￿KAFAS￿stereo￿camera￿is￿the￿key￿element￿of￿the￿following￿systems:
