  • Publication number: 20250256652
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a vehicle interior monitoring device, a vehicle interior monitoring system, and a display having a vehicle interior monitoring device. The vehicle interior monitoring device has a body transparent to a visible wavelength range, which has a plurality of surfaces and a plurality of edges. Surfaces of the body arranged adjacent are each at angles to one another. Furthermore, the vehicle interior monitoring device has a camera which operates in the visible wavelength range. The camera has an objective and an image sensor, wherein the objective is designed to project images on the image sensor. The body transparent to the visible wavelength range is arranged on the objective and body and objective are designed and arranged in relation to one another such that light incident on the objective passes a plurality of the surfaces of the transparent body placed at angles to one another.

  • Publication number: 20240331327
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for image processing in video conferences in a vehicle, wherein in a first reception step, first image data from a first camera and second image data from a second camera are received. The image data contain at least one image of an occupant of the vehicle. In a first extraction step, a depth information map is extracted using at least one of the two image data. In a second extraction step, features in the first image data are extracted. In a classification step, the features are classified as classified features, and include at least the occupant. In a fusion step, the depth information map and the classified features are fused to form a three-dimensional model. In a synthesis step, the first image data and the three-dimensional model are synthesized to form a synthesized image. In a display step, the synthesized image is displayed on a display device.

  • Patent number: 11760144
    Abstract: A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle includes a wheel linkage. The wheel linkage has a bearing region and a spring element. The wheel linkage has a first linkage arm with a first connecting element. A second linkage arm has a second connecting element. The second linkage arm has a first longitudinal region having the second connection element and a second longitudinal region attached to the first longitudinal region and disposed between the bearing region and the first longitudinal region. The second longitudinal region is offset in relation to the bearing region and the first longitudinal region downwardly in a vertical direction of the motor vehicle in an installation position of the wheel suspension.

  • Patent number: 9004602
    Abstract: In a latching device for a head restraint, a locking element is movably mounted in a carrier device. The locking element can be moved from a locked position into an unlocked position by actuation of an actuating device. The latching device is movably mounted with respect to a retaining rod. In the unlocked position, the locking element allows the latching device to be moved with respect to the retaining rod, while in the locked position the locking element engages in at least one cut-out of the retaining rod for latching the latching device with respect to the retaining rod. According to the invention, in the locked position the carrier device, together with the locking element arranged therein, is mirror-symmetrical to an xz plane extending substantially perpendicularly to the carrier device.
