摘要： An occupant restraint assembly and for a motor vehicle operates to sense the tension forces on a seat belt to detect the presence of a human occupant or a child restraint seat. A sensor attached to the seat belt measures tension forces. The sensor is mounted in line with the seat belt. A strain gauge senses tension on the seat belt. An additional embodiment of the sensor includes three prongs attached to a common beam that allow the sensor to be slipped onto the seat belt without modification to the seat belt. A middle prong includes the strain gauge to sense movement relative to outside prongs. The seat belt threads over the outside prongs and under the middle prong such that tension on the seat belt forces the middle prong transversely to tension exerted on the seat belt.

摘要： A seatbelt alarm device for a vehicle includes a seat sensor, a seatbelt sensor, a judgment circuit, an alarm unit, and a child seat sensor. The seat sensor detects a mass on a seat of the vehicle. The seatbelt sensor detects whether a seatbelt of the seat is engaged with a seatbelt buckle. The judgment circuit generates a demand for a seatbelt-wear alarm upon determining that a mass sits on the seat and the seatbelt is not engaged according to detection signals of the seat sensor and the seatbelt sensor, respectively. The alarm unit generates the seatbelt-wear alarm. The child seat sensor detects a child seat mounted on the seat. The judgment circuit restricts operation of the alarm unit when the judgment circuit determines that the child seat is mounted to the seat according to a detection signal of the child seat sensor.

摘要： An image segmentation method and apparatus are described. The inventive system and apparatus generates a segmented image of an occupant or other target of interest based upon an ambient image, which includes the target and the environment in the vehicle that surrounds the target. The inventive concept defines a bounding ellipse for the target. This ellipse may be provided to a processing system that performs tracking of the target. In one embodiment, an optical flow technique is used to compute motion and illumination field values. The explicit computation of the effects of illumination dramatically improves motion estimation and thereby facilitates computation of the bounding ellipses.

摘要： An automotive occupant position restraint apparatus senses a position of an occupant of a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes an optical energy source emitting a first beam of optical energy. A first optical arrangement is disposed in a path of the first beam of optical energy. The first optical arrangement expands the first beam of optical energy into a plurality of second beams of optical energy spanning across a first angle. A second optical arrangement is disposed in a path of the second beams of optical energy. The second optical arrangement expands the second beams of optical energy into a plurality of third beams of optical energy spanning across a second angle larger than the first angle. An optical energy receiver receives optical energy from the third beams, wherein the received optical energy has been reflected within a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle.

摘要： A method and a system in the classification of objects occupying a seat, in particular for the reliable control of the triggering of restraint systems in motor vehicles. Utilized are the dynamics of a person seated on the seat, based on the acceleration forces acting on the person. Using the variables of these forces and the force exerted on the seat cushion of the seat by the mass of the person and its change, there is a determination, as a redundant variable, the mass, the location of the center mass and other physical variables and these are used for the reliable classification.

摘要： An occupant presence and child seat detection system includes several sensors to assist a capacitance based occupant presence detection system in distinguishing an occupant from a child seat on a wet vehicle seat. In one configuration, capacitance on the seating surface and wetness of the seating surface are measured. The determination of the presence of an occupant is based upon the measured capacitance and the measured wetness.
