  • Publication number: 20140112528
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20120272177
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for allowing a user to fix errors in a user input is described. An original user input providing a destination address or a point of interest is received by an in-vehicle computing system. Upon receiving a user input indicating an error in interpreting the original user input, the user is presented with a new query requesting the user to enter a portion of or a category associated with the original input. Once the updated user input providing a portion of the original input is received, the user input is identified and executed based on the original user input entry and the updated user input.
