SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AN OCCUPANT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
Abstract:
The monitoring system (1) comprises:



a light source (3),
an image acquisition device (5) comprising a shutter (11) which allows light to pass during a period (P1) when the source is active and during a period (P2) when the source is inactive, the light received by a sensor (9) comprising a component (Ca) due to ambient illumination and a component (Ci) due to the light source;
a processing unit (7) configured for determining a physiological parameter of the occupant by photoplethysmography.




The shutter (11) allows light to pass during a third period (P3), said light comprising the component (Ca) due to ambient illumination and the processing unit (7) being configured for subtracting this component (Ca) from the light received (9) during the other two periods for the purpose of isolating the component (Ci) due to the source in acquired images.
