 Brief Introduction

Guide

This guide is amid at providing the basic illustration for

topological structure of the SVM system, operating
principle and basic concept to help users to understand the
whole system installation procedure, camera calibration
steps, and how to interact with the system menu.

Brief Introduction of System

The SVM 3D Around View Monitoring Technology synthe-

sizes images from four cameras to create a true 3D sophis-
ticated view of a vehicle's surroundings. The technology
enables flexible omni-directional monitoring around a vehicle
from a dynamically definable perspective or "free eye point."
Such kind of technology can display the complete vision of the
positioning and moving path of the vehicle, it covers blind spot
and thus works perfectly as a safe parking and driving guide
even when restricted by adjacent vehicles and objects,
parking line, etc. The system offers various SVM system
configurations like -HDMI/L-VDS/AV with alternative version of
2D or 3D, and what’s more, this system also integrated full
channel car DVR function with 24 hours videos loop recording
supported.

In General, Most of Japanese cars are
more prefer to use plastic-buckle structure
for side wing mirrors, the inner upside part
of the wing mirror is a “L” shape buckle ,
while the bottom side is U-shaped instead .
Using the flat plastic screw driver and
gently insert to the middle bottom position
to remove the glass lens, please pay full
attention to protect the it from being broken.
Germany cars more prefer to use ball head

 Before the camera installation
 Please install the HDMI Interface Box first
 After installation the HDMI Interface Box, connect the HDMI
cable between the 360 box and HDMI Interface Box
 Power up the 360 box and switch the HDMI Interface Box until
the UI of the 360 system is displayed on the Tesla screen
 Please note that the 360 box requires 15-18 second for power up
sequence and initialization.
 After the 360 UI is displayed on the Tesla screen, please unplug
the power to the 360 box and go for the camera installation.
 After each of the camera is installed, please connect to the 360
box and have it displayed to the Tesla screen for checking if it is
installed correctly.
 Cut the red wire of each of the camera extension cables.

Cameras Angle Adjusting

For adapting to different shape of wing

mirror plastic shell, the angle and direction
of side cameras are always designed to be
free adjusted. Rotate the side cameras
according to the image to keep vehicle body
in image closely to the side calibration line
and mean-while keep the pixel in wider
angles and farther places can be captured
as many as possible. Keep the left and right
calibration point distributed in symmetrical
position in the screen.
Next step, the mirroring setting of the camera
sensor need to be set according to camera
installation direction. The guideline for this
setting is to make the pixel content of the
image as same as the instruction show in the
system calibration preview menu. Generally
speaking, except for the rear camera, all other
cameras must be original image.

You can start calibrating the four cameras one by one when the cursor is twinkling. Moving the
cursor to the corresponding locations by the remote controller buttons of up/down/left/right, then
press the “ok” button to mark the current calibration point in the screen and then the system menu
will guide you to the next calibration pixel point in order from A to H one by one, please see the
correct location and sequence of the calibration points as below pictures:

Go to the “Camera Calibration” page on the main menu, and calibrate each of the cameras step

Merging Computation

 After finishing the step 1 to step 4, go for the step 5

 Select ok and perform the merging computation
 The merging computation process would normally take 13 minutes
 Do not shut down the 360 box during merging computation
 Once the merging computation process is finished, the system will self reboot.
 Please allow 15-17 seconds for the 360 box for reboot and initialization sequence.

After system reboot, the screen will be display the merged bird-view image, if it is not as
accurate as expected, please do the 8-point alignment for each of the camera and perform the
merging computation process again in order to achieve maximum merged image quality.

 FAQ
Some part of the image is blank after execution
Trouble 1
of Fast Merging mode
If you are indeed confirmed that all these above mentioned steps are correct, please
use your smart phone to take a photo after you finish each step when move done all
cross cursor to these corresponding calibration points to us, our system can dump
all these calibration data to TF card and our technical team will help you to find the
root cause of the problem once we get your calibration data. Please contact our
sales if you need more instructions on how to dump the calibration data.

Trouble 2
Picture after merging is not accurate or seamless
This problem is mainly caused by the installation position, and it usually occurs with
the lower chassis vehicles .The picture quality captured by the camera will be poor
and so that the calibration error will be magnified.
This issue could be result of lack of enough care taken while moving the cursor
between the calibration points .

Trouble 3
Some part of the picture after merging is mirrored
If you have selected some OEM camera from your own supplier chain, please
confirm whether the image from the sensor is mirrored or not, and if mirrored,
please choose the mirror function in the menu.

Trouble 4 The corner part of the picture is blank

These problem may be caused by the camera itself, please make sure if the camera
get sufficient pixel content after camera installation(whether the installation position
is too close to the ground)

37
 FAQ
Trouble 5
The merging result is completely fail

1. Be careful to choose a proper vehicle size when starting the camera calibration.
The vehicle type parameter must be set according to the size of the vehicle.
Mismatch could result to such issues.
2. Make sure there should be no obtuse mistakes e.g., while calibrating the rear
camera you are mistakenly choosing the front camera or making a mistake for the
left/right direction.
3. Please use your smart phone to take a photo after you finish each step when
move done all cross cursor to these corresponding calibration points to us, our
