Object recognition in low-lux and high-lux conditions
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for capturing image data for gestures from a passenger or a driver in a vehicle with a dynamic illumination level, the method comprising:
- determining an illumination level for the vehicle, the vehicle comprising a low-lux sensor and a high-lux sensor located in an overhead console of the vehicle, the low-lux sensor assigned to capture image data indicating gestures from the driver or the passenger in the vehicle with illumination levels below a threshold illumination level, the high-lux sensor assigned to capture image data indicating gestures from the driver or the passenger in the vehicle with illumination levels above a threshold illumination level;
determining, by an illumination threshold module, whether the determined illumination level is below a threshold illumination level;
processing image data captured by the low-lux sensor when the illumination level is below the threshold illumination level; and
processing image data captured by the high-lux sensor when the illumination level is above the threshold illumination level.

Abstract
A system for capturing image data for gestures from a passenger or a driver in a vehicle with a dynamic illumination level comprises a low-lux sensor equipped to capture image data in an environment with an illumination level below an illumination threshold, a high-lux sensor equipped to capture image data in the environment with the illumination level above the illumination threshold, and an object recognition module for activating the sensors. The object recognition module determines the illumination level of the environment and activates the low-lux sensor if the illumination level is below the illumination threshold. If the illumination level is above the threshold, the object recognition module activates the high-lux sensor.
