  • On Head Detection based on Simulated Proximity Sensor using IR Cameras
    Publication number: 20240104889
    Abstract: A system for detecting a proximate object includes one or more cameras and one or more illuminators. The proximate object is detected by obtaining image data captured by the one or more cameras, where the image data is captured when at least one of the one or more illuminators are illuminated, determining brightness statistics from the image data, and determining whether the brightness statistics satisfies a predetermined threshold. The proximate object is determined to be detected in accordance with a determination that the brightness statistics satisfies the predetermined threshold.
