Patent number: 9852332Abstract: A system for capturing image data for gestures from a passenger or a driver in a vehicle with a dynamic illumination level comprises a low-lux sensor equipped to capture image data in an environment with an illumination level below an illumination threshold, a high-lux sensor equipped to capture image data in the environment with the illumination level above the illumination threshold, and an object recognition module for activating the sensors. The object recognition module determines the illumination level of the environment and activates the low-lux sensor if the illumination level is below the illumination threshold. If the illumination level is above the threshold, the object recognition module activates the high-lux sensor.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2016Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignees: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD., EDGE 3 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Pedram Vaghefinazari, Stuart Masakazu Yamamoto, Ritchie Winson Huang, Josh Tyler King, Tarek El Dokor

Patent number: 9211854Abstract: A system and method for combining two separate types of human machine interfaces, e.g., a voice signal and a gesture signal, performing voice recognition to a voice signal and gesture recognition to the gesture signal. Based on a confidence determination using the voice recognition result and the gesture recognition result the system can, for example, immediately perform the command/request, request confirmation of the command/request or determine that the command/request was not identified.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignees: Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Edge 3 Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Pedram Vaghefinazari, Stuart Masakazu Yamamoto, Tarek El Dokor, Josh Tyler King
