Overview

IEC 63033-4:2022 is an international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that focuses on multimedia systems and equipment for vehicles, specifically the surround view system's application for camera monitor systems (CMS). This standard defines the requirements for composite images generated from multiple cameras in a surround view system and delineates the fields of view (FOV) these images must cover. Additionally, it specifies the relevant display requirements based on United Nations Regulation No. 46 (UN Regulation No. 46), which governs devices for indirect vision in vehicles.

The purpose of IEC 63033-4:2022 is to ensure that camera monitor systems provide drivers with comprehensive and regulatory-compliant visibility through multi-camera composite images, improving vehicular safety by replacing or supplementing traditional mirrors.

Key Topics

• Composite Image Requirements
  IEC 63033-4:2022 details which composite images assembled from multiple external vehicle cameras are necessary to cover specific fields of view, ensuring consistent and complete situational awareness around the vehicle.

• Field of View (FOV) Classes
  The standard outlines various FOV classes (Class I to VI), each defining precise spatial visibility requirements for different vehicle sides and rear views. These classes correspond to those in UN Regulation No. 46 and specify minimum coverage distances and widths for the composite images displayed to the driver.

• System Model for Surround View Systems
  It describes the system architecture where multiple cameras produce either single or composite images displayed on in-vehicle screens to meet the FOV criteria. The system must generate multiple views simultaneously to effectively replace conventional mirror systems.

• Display Requirements and Overlays
  According to UN Regulation No. 46, the standard prescribes display characteristics-such as resolution, image distortion limits, and overlay usage-to ensure that the displayed images are clear, undistorted, and help drivers accurately judge distances and objects around the vehicle.

• Obstruction Considerations
  The standard also addresses typical obstructions encountered by rear-view and indirect vision devices, aiming at minimizing blind spots and ensuring the driver’s field of vision is as unobstructed as possible.

Applications

• Vehicle Safety Enhancement
  By applying IEC 63033-4:2022, automotive manufacturers can design camera monitor systems that provide wide, accurate, and regulatory-compliant visibility around the vehicle, thus enhancing driver awareness and reducing accidents caused by blind spots.

• Regulatory Compliance for CMS Integration
  OEMs and automotive system integrators use this standard to ensure their CMS implementations meet the mandatory visual field requirements set by UN Regulation No. 46, facilitating legal approval and market access in jurisdictions adopting such regulations.

• Surround View System Development
  The standard serves as a technical guideline for developers designing multimodal vehicle vision systems integrating multiple cameras, aiding in composite image generation covering the defined FOV classes for comprehensive indirect vision.

• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
  IEC 63033-4:2022 supports applications in ADAS where synthetic views from surround cameras contribute to collision avoidance, parking assistance, and lane monitoring functionalities.

Related Standards

• IEC 63033-1: Development of Surround View Systems
  Defines the general requirements and architecture for surround view systems, providing the foundation for composite images referenced in IEC 63033-4:2022.

• UN Regulation No. 46: Devices for Indirect Vision
  International regulation prescribing the minimum field of view and device performance criteria for rear-view mirrors and camera monitor systems in vehicles. IEC 63033-4 aligns its FOV and display requirements with this regulation to ensure compliance.

• ISO/IEC Directives
  These directives guide the preparation and publication of IEC standards, ensuring harmonization and international consensus in standards development.

5 Field of view
5.1 General
The field of view of the system is the visible area displayed by the composite images (i.e. from
the multiple cameras composing the system) or the image captured by any single camera that
is then converted and displayed. If the target of the application of this system is to replace an
existing type approval that is required for vehicular equipment, it shall follow the respective
regulation. For example, the FOV shall capture the respective FOV as defined in UN Regulation
No. 46 (classes I to VI) if the system is intended to be used in such an application. The
compulsory or optional FOV shall follow the requirement as specified in the table under
paragraph 15.2.1.1.1 in UN Regulation No. 46.
5.2 Class I FOV
The field of vision shall be such that the driver can see at least a 20 m wide, flat, horizontal
portion of the road centred on the vertical longitudinal median plane of the vehicle and extending
from 60 m behind the driver's ocular points to the horizon. Class I FOV and an example of the
displayed view conforming to this FOV are shown in Figure 2. See Annex A for an example of
a simultaneous display with a class III FOV.

5.5 Class IV FOV
The field of vision shall be such that the driver can see at least a 15 m wide, flat, horizontal
portion of the road, which is bounded by a plane parallel to the median longitudinal vertical
plane of the vehicle and passing through the outermost point of the vehicle on the driver's side
and which extends from at least 10 m to 25 m behind the driver's ocular points. In addition, the
road shall be visible to the driver over a width of 4,5 m, which is bounded by a plane parallel to
the median longitudinal vertical plane and passing through the outermost point of the vehicle
starting from a point 1,5 m behind the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points.
The corresponding text is valid on the passenger side. Class IV FOV and an example of the
displayed view conforming to this FOV are shown in Figure 5.
For composite images of left and right cameras, non-continuous images shall be clearly
separated from each other. The image of the right side field of view shall be presented to the
right of the longitudinal vertical plane through the ocular reference point. The image of the left
side field of view shall be presented to the left of the longitudinal vertical plane through the
ocular reference point.
Dimensions in metres
Figure 5 – Class IV FOV and example of display view
5.6 Class V FOV
The field of vision shall be such that the driver can see a flat horizontal portion of the road along
the side of the vehicle, bounded by the following vertical planes:
• The plane parallel to the median longitudinal vertical plane of the vehicle which passes
through the outermost point of the vehicle cab on the passenger's side.
• In the transverse direction, the parallel plane passing at a distance of 2 m in front of the
plane mentioned in the paragraph above.
• To the rear, the plane parallel to the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points
and situated at a distance of 1,75 m behind that plane.
• To the front, the plane parallel to the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points
and situated at a distance of 1 m in front of that plane.
If the vertical transverse plane passing through the leading edge of the vehicle bumper is less
than 1 m in front of the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points, the field of
vision shall be limited to that plane. In the case the field of vision described in Figure 8a and
Figure 8b can be perceived through the combination of the field of vision from a class IV wide-
angle view device and that of a class VI front-view device, the installation of a class V close-
proximity view device is not compulsory. Class V FOV and an example of the displayed view
conforming to this FOV are shown in Figure 6.

Dimensions in metres
Figure 6 – Class V FOV and example of display view
5.7 Larger FOV on the passenger side
On the passenger side only, the field of vision shall also be such that the driver can see a flat
horizontal portion of the road along the side of the vehicle which is outside the field defined in
5.6, but within the field bounded by the following vertical planes; the front of this field of vision
may be rounded off with a radius of 2 000 mm:
• In the transverse direction, the parallel plane passing at a distance of 4,5 m in front of the
plane mentioned in 5.6.
• To the rear, the plane parallel to the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points
and situated at a distance of 1,75 m behind that plane.
• To the front, the plane parallel to the vertical plane passing through the driver's ocular points
and situated at a distance of 3 m in front of that plane.
This field of vision may be partially provided by a front-view device (class VI). The field of vision
described may be partially provided by a wide-angle view device (class IV) or a combination of
a close-proximity view device (class V) and a front-view device (class VI).

The area described in the first paragraph of this subclause may be viewed using a combination
of direct view and indirect vision devices (of classes IV, V, VI). If an indirect vision device of
class IV is used to provide a part of the field of vision described above, it shall be adjusted in a
way that it simultaneously provides the field of vision described in 5.6.
If an indirect vision device of class V is used to provide a part of the field of vision described
above, it shall be adjusted in a way that it simultaneously provides the field of vision described
in 5.6.
If an indirect vision device of class VI is used to provide a part of the field of vision described
above, it shall be adjusted in a way that it simultaneously provides the field of vision described
in 5.8.
The field of vision described in 5.6 may be viewed using a combination of a close-proximity
view device (class V) and a wide-angle view device (class IV). In such cases the close-proximity
view mirror (class V) shall provide at least 90 % of the field of vision described in 5.6 and the
class IV mirror shall be adjusted in a way that it simultaneously provides the field of vision
described in 5.5.
The above shall not apply to a vehicle where any part of a class V mirror, if fitted, or its holder,
is less than 2,4 m above the ground, regardless of its position after adjustment. The above shall
not apply to a vehicle of category M2 or M3.
A larger FOV on the passenger side and an example of the displayed view conforming to this
FOV are described in Figure 7.

Figure 7 – Larger FOV on the passenger side and example of display view
5.8 Class VI FOV
The field of vision shall be such that the driver can see at least a flat horizontal portion of the
road, which is bounded by:
• A transverse vertical plane through the outermost point of the front of the vehicle;
• A transverse vertical plane 2 000 mm in front of the plane defined in the bullet point above;
• A longitudinal vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal vertical median plane going through
the outermost side of the vehicle at the driver's side; and
• A longitudinal vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal vertical median plane 2 000 mm
outside the outermost side of the vehicle opposite to the driver's side.

The front of this field of vision opposite to the driver's side may be rounded off with a radius of
2 000 mm. For the defined field of vision, see also 6.3. The provisions for class VI front-view
devices are compulsory for forward controlled (as defined in paragraph 12.5. of UN Regulation
No. 46) vehicles of categories N2 > 7,5 t and N3. If vehicles of these categories cannot fulfil
the requirements by using a front-view device, a vision support system shall be used. In the
case of a vision support system, this device shall be able to detect an object of 50 cm in height
and with a diameter of 30 cm within the field defined in Figure 8. A class VI FOV and an example
of the displayed view conforming to this FOV are shown in Figure 8.

6 Obstructions
6.1 General
Obstructions shall be allowed within the minimum required field of vision.
6.2 Class I rear-view devices
The field of vision may be reduced by the presence of devices such as sun visors, windscreen
wipers, heating elements and stop lamps of category S3, provided that all these devices
together do not obscure more than 15 % of the field of vision. Headrests or framework or
bodywork, such as the window columns of rear split doors and rear window frames shall be
excluded from the calculation. This requirement shall be tested by projection onto a vertical
plane at right angles to the longitudinal centre plane of the vehicle. The degree of obstruction
shall be measured with the sun visors folded back.
