Systems and Methods for Various Systems of a Vehicle
Systems for a vehicle include a sound system that detects and compensate for objects that block or muffle sound in the interior of the vehicle; light bars positioned under the headliner of the vehicle or on the front or back of the vehicle that can emulate headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn lights; external light fixtures that are symmetrical around a centerline and can be placed at any position on the front or back of the vehicle without structural change and a collision detection system.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING USER INTERFACE BASED ON PROJECTION
A device for providing an interface using a projection includes: a first camera for capturing a vehicle user when an approach of the vehicle user to a vehicle is detected; a projector for projecting an interface, related to at least one vehicle control function, preset based on user identification information; a second camera for capturing an area on which the interface is projected; a memory storing one or more instructions; and a processor for executing the instructions to: acquire the user identification information of the vehicle user using the first camera, recognize a user input to the interface using the second camera, and perform a vehicle control corresponding to the interface when the user input is recognized.
IMAGING APPARATUS
The illumination device has a plurality of light-emitting pixels which are individually on/off controllable, and emits a reference light having a random intensity distribution. The photodetector detects light reflected from an object. The processing device reconstructs an image of the object OBJ, by calculating a correlation between a detection intensity b based on an output of the photodetector, and the intensity distribution I of the reference light. The plurality of light-emitting pixels are divided into the m (m≥2) areas each containing n (n≥2) adjoining light-emitting pixels. By selecting one light-emitting pixel from each of the m areas without overlapping, the n light-emitting pixel groups are determined. The imaging apparatus carries out sensing for every light-emitting pixel group.
