Abstract: A vehicular cabin monitoring system includes an interior-viewing camera disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly within an interior cabin of a vehicle. A light emitter is disposed at the interior rearview mirror assembly and, when electrically operated, emits near infrared light to illuminate at least a portion of the interior cabin that is viewed by the interior-viewing camera. Image data captured by the camera is transferred to and is processed at an electronic control unit (ECU). The vehicular cabin monitoring system, via processing at the ECU of image data captured by the interior-viewing camera, (i) detects presence of an occupant occupying a seat within the vehicle and (ii) determines posture of the occupant relative to the occupied seat. Based at least in part on the determined posture of the occupant relative to the occupied seat, improper posture of the occupant relative to the occupied seat is determined.

Abstract: A vehicular driver monitoring system includes a vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head that accommodates a variable reflectance mirror reflective element, a driver monitoring camera and a near infrared light emitter. When the near infrared light emitter is electrically operated to emit near infrared, the near infrared light emitter emits near infrared light that illuminates at least a driver head region. While the variable reflectance mirror reflective element is operating in a first mode, and responsive to determination that visible light reflecting off glasses worn by the driver is obscuring the camera's view of the eyes of the driver, the vehicular driver monitoring system controls the variable reflectance mirror reflective element to reduce visible light transmissivity through the variable reflectance mirror reflective element to reduce visible light reflections at the glasses worn by the driver as captured in the image data captured by the driver monitoring camera.

Abstract: A vehicular driver monitoring system includes a camera disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly within a cabin of a vehicle and viewing a driver operating of the vehicle. Image data captured by the camera is transferred to and is processed at an electronic control unit (ECU). The vehicular driver monitoring system, via processing at the ECU of image data captured by the camera, determines posture of the driver operating the vehicle. The vehicular driver monitoring system, based at least in part on a comparison between the determined posture of the driver and a proper posture stored in memory, determines improper posture of the driver. The proper posture stored in memory is determined based at least in part on a determined head position of the driver relative to the interior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a vehicular illumination module includes disposing an illumination source at a housing and forming a mask by applying a layer of spectrally-selective light absorbing material at a substrate. A photoresistant layer is applied onto the light absorbing material. A template is positioned at the photoresistant layer and includes a transmissive portion that allows UV light to pass through and a non-transmissive portion that blocks UV light. Exposing the mask to UV light removes a first portion of the photoresistant layer aligned with the transmissive portion to dissipate. A first portion of the light absorbing material is not covered. A second portion of the light absorbing material is covered by a second portion of the photoresistant layer. The first portion of the light absorbing material and the second portion of the photoresistant layer are removed. The second portion of the light absorbing material remains at the substrate.
