TL;DR: In this article, a vehicular stereoscopic imaging system provides a calculation of a distance between one or more sensors on a vehicle and a light source or object in a target scene remote from the vehicle.

TL;DR: The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft departed for near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu via an United Launch Alliance Atlas V 411 evolved expendable launch vehicle at 7:05 p.m. EDT on September 8, 2016, on a seven-year journey to return samples from Bennu as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A vehicle rain sensor system for detecting precipitation on an exterior surface of a window (19) including an illumination sensor (36) that is decoupled from the window is presented in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wide-angle image capture system for providing a wideangle field of view of an area immediately exteriorly of a vehicle is presented, which includes a convex aspheric, asymmetric reflective surface which reflects an image toward an image capture device, via a substantially flat mirrored surface, both of which are compactly packaged within a panel of the vehicle.

TL;DR: A wide angle imaging system for providing a wide angle field of view area exteriorly of a vehicle comprises an outer negative or wide angle group of lenses for receiving the wide angle view and directing a virtual image toward a positive, converging or focusing group of optics, which further refract and focus the image and provide a focused image to an image capture device as mentioned in this paper.
