  • DETECTION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230080972
    Abstract: In a detection system, an LED unit includes a plurality of LEDs, and each of the LEDs applies light toward a different part of an occupant's face in a vehicle. A position detection unit detects a position of a pupil in an occupant's eye on the basis of an image captured by an imaging unit. The LED unit applies light from LEDs with a light emission pattern selected from a plurality of predetermined light emission patterns. The light emission patterns differ from each other in the combination of the LEDs that emit light and the LEDs that do not emit light in the LEDs. An operation controller controls the LED unit to detect the position of the pupil by applying light from the LEDs that emit light with a light emission pattern different from a current light emission pattern when the position of the pupil cannot be detected.
