    Abstract: Described herein is a monitoring system (100) including one or more infrared light sources (108, 110) for illuminating a subject (102) in a sequenced manner. System (100) also includes a camera (106) for capturing images of the subject (102) during periods in which the subject (102) is illuminated by one of the light sources (108, 110). A processor (118) processes the captured images to determine a brightness measure of the images and a controller (120) controls the output power of the infrared light sources (108, 110) in response to the brightness measure. In response to the processor (118) detecting a brightness measure below a predetermined brightness threshold, the controller (120) is configured to switch off or reduce an output illumination intensity of one of the infrared light sources (108, 110).

    Abstract: Described herein is a method (1100) of measuring a distance from a camera (106) to a face of a vehicle driver (102) in a driver monitoring system (100). The camera (106) includes a digital image sensor having a plurality of phase detecting pixels. The phase detecting pixels are configured to generate first and second image data corresponding to light received along two optical paths through the camera's imaging system. The method (1100) includes, at step (1101) positioning the camera (106) at an imaging position to capture an image of the driver (102) including the driver's face. At step (1102), the image is processed to identify a face region being a region of pixels corresponding to the driver's face or head. At step (1103), a first subset of the phase detecting pixels representing those which correspond with the face region is determined. At step (1104), the first and second image data obtained by the first subset of the phase detecting pixels is compared to determine a spatial image offset. Finally, at step (1105), a first distance estimate of the distance between a region of the driver's face and the image sensor is determined from the spatial image offset.
