System description
The Mobile Vicinity Scout (MVS) is a camera system
designed especially for utility vehicles. It provides the driver
with a clear, seamless 270° or 360° view around his vehicle.
The MVS system is used for heavy-duty and commercial
vehicles, which are utilised in the construction industry,
municipal transport and goods traffic, agricultural industry
and logistics.

Camera system
The system generates one image of one vehicle side, using
3 cameras (270° system) or 4 cameras (360° system).
These individual images are processed to generate a top
view. The top view provides a seamless panoramic view
around the area close to the vehicle. This view increases
the safety during manoeuvring.
• During calibration, the system crops the displayed
image to the area near the vehicle.
• Objects in the detection area of the cameras and within
the calibration area are displayed.
• Inserting a customer-specific vehicle image to ensure a
display that is accurate to the contour of the vehicle.
• Display of individual static overlays for the
representation of danger areas, swivel ranges or
support points.
• The open interfaces allow a comprehensive integration
into the vehicle's electronic system and interconnection
with currently installed systems.
Additional camera in the 270° system
An additional camera (e.g., a rear-view camera) can be
connected to the 270° system. The camera image can be
selected via the control inputs or the CAN bus.
