    Abstract: A vehicle access system includes: an infrared detector assembly for detecting an object within a sensing region of the infrared detector assembly; at least one controller operatively connected to the infrared detector assembly, the at least one controller operative (i) to determine from inputs from the infrared detector assembly if a detected object exhibits a predefined gesture and, if the detected object exhibits a predefined gesture, (ii) to direct the execution of one or more pre-defined vehicle commands; and a plurality of lights operatively connected to the at least one controller, the plurality of lights selectively illuminable to produce visible light in one or more colors, wherein one or more of the plurality lights (i) are selectively illuminated by the at least one controller to visibly indicate the detected presence of an object within the sensing region by the infrared detector assembly, and (ii) are selectively illuminated by the at least one controller to visibly indicate that the detected object exhibits a predefined gesture.

    Abstract: A method of normalizing FPA system gain for varying temperature includes determining an FPA temperature and calculating an FPA system gain as a function of the FPA temperature, system gain for the FPA at a reference temperature, and empirically derived coefficients. The method also includes applying the FPA system gain at the FPA temperature to condition output of the FPA to produce temperature independent image data. An imaging system includes a focal plane array (FPA). A temperature sensor is operatively connected to measure temperature of the FPA. A module is operatively connected to the FPA and temperature sensor to calculate FPA system gain for the FPA as described above, and to apply the FPA system gain to condition output of the FPA to produce temperature independent image data. There need be no temperature control device, such as a thermoelectric cooling device, connected for temperature control of the FPA.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-reference correlated double sampling detection method including generating, by a plurality of unit reference cells, reference signals, receiving, by a plurality of unit active cells having absorbed an infrared signal, sensing signals, and detecting a pure infrared signal on a basis of the sensing signals and active cell values processed using the reference signals, wherein the unit reference cells do not react to the infrared signal and are configured of blind cells having identical electrical and thermal characteristics to the unit active cells. Accordingly, a self-heating effect of an active cell may be accurately cancelled out, the method is robust to common noise such as power supply noise, and fixed pattern noise occurring in a sensing circuit and including incoherence between skimming cells may be removed. Furthermore, the method may improve efficiency and greatly reduce complexity of analog and digital correction, and remove a thermo-electro cooler and shutter.

    Abstract: A system, for calculating an object location within a portal, includes a portal map formed by a plurality of infra-red beams. The system further includes a broken beam detector for detecting and recording, in response to an object moving through the portal map, data indicative of one or more broken beams of the plurality of infra-red beams. The data includes first data indicative of an initial position of the object within the portal, second data indicative of a subsequent position of the object within the portal, and third data including one or more time records. The system also includes at least one broken beam analyzer for obtaining the data from the broken beam detector, the broken beam analyzer calculating the object location based on at least one of the first data, the second data, and the third data.

    Abstract: A sensor control method that is executed by an air-conditioning apparatus includes: acquiring a first thermal image by scanning an air-conditioned space using the infrared sensor in accordance with a first scanning scheme, the air-conditioning apparatus being placed in the air-conditioned space; extracting a subject thermal image from the first thermal image, based on a difference between a background thermal image of the air-conditioned space when no subject is present therein and the first thermal image; determining a second scanning scheme different from the first scanning scheme, when the subject thermal image has a size smaller than a threshold size; and acquiring a second thermal image by scanning an area corresponding to the subject thermal image of the air-conditioned space using the infrared sensor in accordance with the determined second scanning scheme.

    Abstract: A thermal image sensor and an air conditioner in which temperature data of significant pixels selected from all the pixels in an immediately preceding step are acquired by a thinning scanner, a human probability for each of the significant pixels is generated by a human probability generator, weight values for all the pixels are generated from the human probabilities for the significant pixels by a pixel weight calculator, and pixels having a larger weight value are selected, as the significant pixels to be used in the next step, by an all-pixel sorter, thereby assigning a larger number of pixels to a region in which there is a high probability that a person is existing while the number of significant pixels used in total is kept constant.
