  • Publication number: 20240092259
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system is disclosed. The system may comprise a light assembly, an imager, and/or a controller. The light assembly may be configured to emit an array of illumination elements onto a scene. The imager may be configured to capture one or more images of the illumination elements projected onto the scene. The controller may be configured to selectively activate the light assembly between a first state and a second state. In the first and second sates, respectively, first and second groups of the illumination elements are selectively activated to emit first and second patterns of illumination elements.

  • Patent number: 11895441
    Abstract: A device for monitoring occupants of seats in a passenger compartment of a vehicle includes a plurality of structured light sources. Each of the plurality of structured light sources is attached to one of a plurality of sections and has an optical element that forms a structured light pattern. The plurality of structured light sources are oriented such that the plurality of structured light patterns, in combination, are directed such that they would cover the occupants of the seats of the vehicle. The plurality of structured light patterns, in combination, are directed such that they would cover all occupants of the seats. A camera is attached to a central niche and is configured to capture image patterns that result from distortion of the plurality of structured light patterns by the occupants of the seats.

  • Publication number: 20200240769
    Abstract: A depth or spectral measurement system includes an emission unit that is configured to emit light in a continuous wavelength-encoded light pattern in a continuous wavelength-encoded light pattern in which the emitted light varies with a direction of emission and in which the wavelength of the light that is emitted in each direction of emission is known. A camera is located at a known position relative to the emission unit and is configured to acquire an image of light that is returned by a scene that is illuminated by the wavelength-encoded light pattern. A sensor array of the camera onto which the scene is imaged is configured to enable analysis of the image by a processor of the system to determine a wavelength of light that is returned to the camera by a part of the scene and to calculate a depth of the part of the scene based on the determined wavelength.
