摘要： A vehicle restraint system has a vision-based occupant classification system for control of airbag deployment during a crash scenario. The classification system utilizes two imaging sensors which together create a stream of paired images received and stored by an occupant classification controller. A computer program product of the controller utilizes the paired images to extract disparity/range features and stereo-vision differential edge density features. Moreover, the controller extracts wavelet features from one of the two paired images. All three features or maps are classified amongst preferably seven classifications by algorithms of the computer program product producing class confidence data fed to a sensor fusion engine of the controller for processing and output of an airbag control signal input into a restraint controller of the vehicle restraint system.

摘要： A vision-based occupant classification method utilizes a static classification routine for achieving highly accurate occupant classification, a dynamic detection routine for quickly responding to changes in occupant position, and a category state change routine for detecting potential changes in occupant category. The static classification routine determines an initial classification of the occupant, after which the dynamic detection routine monitors for changes in occupant position and the category state change routine monitors for a potential change in occupant category. If category state change routine detects a potential change in occupant category, the static classification routine is re-executed to re-classify the occupant. The category state change routine identifies a composite optical flow vector associated with occupant movement, and detects a potential change in occupant category when the composite flow vector crosses one or more pre-defined entry/exit motion gates.

摘要： An automotive occupant position restraint apparatus senses a position of an occupant of a motor vehicle. An optical energy source emits optical energy that is substantially limited to a first range of wavelengths that corresponds to an atmospheric absorption peak. An optical energy receiver receives the optical energy emitted by the optical energy source after the optical energy has been reflected within a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. A range of wavelengths that the receiver is operable to receive is substantially limited to a second range of wavelengths that corresponds to the atmospheric absorption peak.

摘要： A method of exposure control for an imaging system. A predetermined number of images are captured by one or more imagers, wherein the images are defined by an image resolution matrix. The images are masked to establish a region of interest within the image resolution matrix and brightness of the images is analyzed within the region of interest. An exposure time is calculated for a subsequent image capturing step based on the brightness analysis, and an exposure time setting of the imager(s) is adjusted during the subsequent image capturing step based on the calculated exposure time.
