Vehicle occupancy monitoring with a monocular optical range sensor system

摘要

1. The IEE 3D system offers a strong potential for in-vehicle monitoring, as it provides direct range information, without the need for triangulation like in stereo techniques. 2. The sensing principle is unaffected by texture variation and requires an active IR illumination. 3. Camera resolution of 50x50 pixels provides detailed information for occupant classification, head detection and tracking. 4. Further work will concentrate on increasing the system's robustness and on the evaluation of the role of objects' reflective properties.
