There is provided a vehicle safety system including a sensing unit, a processing unit, a control unit and a display unit. The sensing unit is configured to capture an image frame containing an eyeball image from a predetermined distance. The processing unit is configured to calculate a pupil position of the eyeball image in the image frame and generate a drive signal corresponding to the pupil position. The control unit is configured to trigger a vehicle device associated with the pupil position according to the drive signal. The display unit is configured to show information of the vehicle device.

According to one example for segmenting image data, image data comprising color pixel data, IR data, and depth data is received from a sensor. The image data is segmented into a first list of objects based on at least one computed feature of the image data. At least one object type is determined for at least one object in the first list of objects. The segmentation of the first list of objects is refined into a second list of objects based on the at least one object type. In an example, the second list of objects is output.

Systems and methods for uniquely identifying fluid-phase products by endowing them with fingerprints composed of dispersed colloidal particles, and by reading out those fingerprints on demand using Total Holographic Characterization. A library of chemically inert colloidal particles is developed that can be dispersed into soft materials, the stoichiometry of the mixture encoding user-specified information, including information about the host material. Encoded information then can be recovered by high-speed analysis of holographic microscopy images of the dispersed particles. Specifically, holograms of individual colloidal spheres are analyzed with predictions of the theory of light scattering to measure each sphere's radius and refractive index, thereby building up the distribution of particle properties one particle at a time. A complete analysis of a colloidal fingerprint requires several thousand single-particle holograms and can be completed in ten minutes.

A mobile hyperspectral camera system is described. The mobile hyperspectral camera system comprises a mobile host device comprising a processor and a display: a plurality of cameras, coupled to the processor, configured to capture images in distinct spectral bands; and a hyperspectral flash array, coupled to the processor, configured to provide illumination to the distinct spectral bands. A method of implementing a mobile hyperspectral camera system is also described.

An infrared thermal camera can be installed in a vehicle, such as a car, to provide different capabilities including night vision, passenger temperature monitoring, liveness detection, and avoidance of collisions with animals. The camera may be located inside the vehicle facing outwards through the front windshield. The camera may be used in multiple modes. In a first mode, the camera may be used to provide night vision or other thermal imaging of a scene outside the vehicle using a first field of view. In a second mode, the camera may be used to provide thermal imaging of a scene at least partially inside the vehicle using a second field of view, which may be useful, for example, for scanning the skin temperatures of occupants.

A system for distinguishing an individual having an abnormal body temperature includes an interface module receiving a visible light image and a thermal image, a determining module executing an image analysis process on the visible light image to recognize an individual in the visible light image and to determine position data of the individual, and a processing module obtaining a temperature value corresponding to the individual from the thermal image according to the position data. The processing module further determines whether the temperature value falls within a predetermined range of abnormal body temperature, and outputs a warning signal when it is determined that the temperature value falls within the predetermined range of abnormal body temperature.

The present invention provides a vehicle control method for driving safety, including: a first step of photographing an infrared image and a visible ray image; a second step of transmitting the photographed infrared image and visible ray image to an image recognizing and comparing module; a third step of leaving only a frequency for an edge of the infrared image and the visible image using a high pass filter, in the image recognizing and comparing module; and a fourth step of comparing a frequency band distribution processed in the third step to determine the situation as a situation which has a difficulty to secure a clear view when a difference is equal to or higher than a predetermined level.

In an embodiment, device having display integrated infrared and light source is disclosed. In an embodiment, the device comprises a display, comprising: a visible light source; and an infrared source, the visible light source and the infrared source being integrated into a single radiation source component within the display, and the infrared source emitting an infrared radiation biometrically authenticating a user of the device. In another embodiment a display integrated infrared source is disclosed.

Provided is a recognition method of 3D vein pattern including the following steps. A plurality of first light beams are emitted by a recognition device to a wrist of a user. A plurality of first reflected light beams from the wrist are received by the recognition device to form a first 3D vein pattern of the wrist. Differences between the first 3D vein pattern and a wrist vein pattern of a database are compared to identify an identity or a gesture of the user. A recognition device of 3D vein pattern is also provided.

An example method includes obtaining, by processing circuity, an image depicting a face of a person wearing eyewear and a reflection pattern generated by projecting light onto a lens of the eyewear and determining, by the processing circuitry, an optical parameter of the lens based on the image. The method further includes receiving, by the processing circuitry and from an electronic database, a personal characteristic data relating to a previously identified person and comparing, by the processing circuitry, the optical parameter of the lens to the personal characteristic data. The method further includes determining, by the processing circuitry and based on the comparison, a score indicative of a match between the person wearing eyewear and the previously identified person.
