A camera for a vehicle includes an image sensor and processing logic. The image sensor captures event images based on one or more messages generated by the vehicle communication bus.

A vehicular child monitoring system includes a child monitoring device having a connector for securing the device within a motor vehicle and oriented toward a child seat. The device including a mirror, a seat connector, a camera, and a controller having a wireless communication unit and a plurality of sensors. The sensors include a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a proximity sensor, and a child detection sensor. A child monitoring application is communicatively linked to the communication unit and includes functionality for displaying the information received from the camera and each of the sensors, and for determining a separation distance with the child monitoring device. The system including functionality for determining that a child is in the car seat, and that a separation distance is beyond a predetermined threshold and activating an alarm protocol.

An in-vehicle multi-monitoring device for a vehicle includes first and second imaging members, and a controller. The first imaging member performs first imaging to capture a first image of one or more occupants in a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The second imaging member perform second imaging to capture a second image of the one or more occupants. The controller executes a process on the first image and the second image. The first imaging member and the second imaging member are configured to perform the first imaging and the second imaging respectively at different angles of view or in different imaging ranges. The process includes multiple types of processes for the one or more occupants in the passenger compartment. The multiple types of processes are executed based on the first image and the second image captured at the different angles of view or in the different imaging ranges.

A passenger state analysis method and apparatus, a vehicle, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a video stream of a rear seat area in a vehicle; performing face and/or body detection on at least one image frame in the video stream; determining state information of a passenger in the rear seat area according to a face and/or body detection result; and in response to the fact that the state information of the passenger satisfies a predetermined condition, outputting prompt information to a driver area or a specified device in the vehicle.

The invention provides a method and device for protecting a child inside a vehicle, a computer device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a vehicle, which are applied to the technical field of automobiles. The method for protecting a child inside a vehicle includes: receiving image data inside a vehicle; performing facial detection on the image data to detect passengers in the vehicle; further classifying the detected passengers in the vehicle into children and adults according to the facial detection; and performing a corresponding protection operation when a result of the classification indicates that there is a child alone in the vehicle.

Described herein is an imaging system (200) for imaging a scene. The system (200) includes a camera (106) having an image sensor for capturing images of the scene in both the visible and infrared wavelength ranges and at least one light source (108) configured to emit a beam of light to selectively illuminate the scene with infrared radiation during image capture by the camera (106). The system (200) also includes an electrically controllable filter (203) being configured to pass infrared wavelengths to the image sensor and selectively pass or filter visible light received at the image sensor based on a control signal.
