Abstract: An imaging system (50) for providing vehicle safety features that employs face recognition software to identify and track a person. The system (50) employs infrared emitters (30) that emit an infrared signal along a predetermined field-of-view, and an infrared sensor (34), such as a CMOS sensor used as a video signal array, that receives reflected infrared illumination from objects in the field-of-view. A processor (52) including the face recognition software, is employed to detect human faces to identify and track the person. Once a face is detected, it can be compared to a data base to identify the person. Various applications for the imaging system (50) for providing vehicle safety features include identifying the driver or passenger for personalizing the vehicle's airbags, providing pre-crash collision avoidance, providing blind spot detection, providing vehicle crash recording, and providing a warning signal if the driver appears drowsy.

Abstract: A driver's head position sensor is used to control deployment of safety airbags in a vehicle. An array of thermal imaging detectors provides a thermal image of a driver and detects both his head and position of his head relative to the airbags. Movement of the head towards the airbags, for example during manual operation of a radio, is measured and used to control the amount of airbag deployment. The detector array may be a 32 by 32 or 64 by 64 array of detectors such as microbridge resistance bolometer detectors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling or operating systems by means of image information, according to which an object or a scene is seen by the human eye through opto-electronic glasses and the reflected retinal image is detected for obtaining image information. The image information is evaluated and compared with stored data. In a next step control signals are generated for triggering a function of a system. The system can be a mobile system, such as a vehicle, or comprise subsystems of said vehicle. Other systems can also be operated, whereby the assigned function is triggered by means of a single suitable operating element. The image information is recorded during a scanning process by the image reflected by the retina and fed to an image processing and storage system. A recording or copying process can also be triggered in a system so as to record, copy and/or transmit as an image the object seen by the eye.
