SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISCRIMINATING PASSENGER ATTITUDE IN VEHICLE USING STEREO IMAGE JUNCTION
First Claim
1. A system for discriminating a passenger attitude in a vehicle using a stereo image junction, the system comprising:
- a controller for generating an airbag control signal for enabling an airbag depending on the passenger attitude;
an image obtaining unit having at least two cameras, and capturing an image of a vehicle interior and generating stereo two-dimensional image data;
a preprocessor for receiving the stereo two-dimensional image data, correcting distortion of the received two-dimensional image data, and generating three-dimensional model information; and
a digital signal processor for receiving and analyzing the corrected stereo two-dimensional image data and the three-dimensional model information to discriminate the passenger attitude, and generating and outputting passenger attitude information to the controller.
