Abstract: A locking device for a detachable panel fitted in a roof opening of automobiles comprises a pivotable lever mounted to the panel, a stationary body fixed to the vehicle roof, and a link mechanism securely fixed to the lever while pivoted to the stationary body. The link mechanism includes a pair of links each provided with a recess while the stationary body includes a pair of arms each provided with a pin resiliently urged to fit in the recess to lock the position of the panel at the partially open state. The recess includes two lateral edges one of which extends higher than the other other to act as the stopper of the pin, to thereby limit excessive rotational movement of the panel with respect to the stationary body.

Abstract: A secondary curve, the ends of which coincide with the inner corner and the outer corner of the eye, is determined successively, and the total of the edge values of the pixels overlapping the secondary curve is calculated as an evaluation value. Next, a characteristic curve is generated on the basis of data made up of the calculated evaluation value and the Y-coordinate of the intersection between the secondary curve and a straight line passing through the center of a line segment whose ends coincide with the inner corner and the outer corner of the eye. Then, the reference positions for the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid of the eye are set on the basis of the result of an attempt to detect a pixel group occurring because of the red-eye effect in a search area defined on the basis of peaks in the characteristic curve.

Abstract: A camera [[17]] captures an image by applying for every frame camera control values that are computed for a white line detection, and captures the image by applying for every frame camera control values that are computed for a three-dimensional object detection. The captured frame is transmitted to a stereo ECU [[20]] by adding thereto a frame counter value and the camera control values that were applied when capturing the image, and the stereo ECU [[20]] distinguishes the frame for white line from the frame for three-dimensional object depending on the added frame counter value. Based on the distinguished frame, the stereo ECU [[20]] carries out the white line detection or the three-dimensional object detection, computes the camera control values for the white line or the camera control values for the three-dimensional object, and transmits the computed camera control values to the camera [[17]].
