Systems, methods, and apparatus for enhancing a camera field of view in a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method comprising executing computer executable instructions by one or more processors for enhancing a camera field of view in a vehicle, the method further comprising:
- capturing image information from one or more objects or one or more occupants in the vehicle;
processing the image information;
receiving trigger information associated with one or more of the image information, the one or more objects, or the one or more occupants associated with the vehicle;
configuring first one or more reflective surfaces, based at least in part on the trigger information, wherein configuring comprises positioning the first one or more reflective surfaces with respect to the camera field of view; and
adjusting a position and a shape of the first one or more reflective surfaces based at least on the processing of the image information and a position of a second one or more reflective surfaces with respect to the camera field of view; and
adjusting a focus associated with the camera based on the adjusted position and shape of the first one or more reflective surfaces.

Abstract
Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems, methods, and apparatus for enhancing a field of view of a camera in a vehicle. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for executing computer executable instructions by one or more processors for enhancing a field of view associated with a camera in a vehicle. The method includes capturing image information from one or more objects or one or more occupants in the vehicle; processing the image information; receiving trigger information associated with one or more of the image information, the one or more objects, or the one or more occupants associated with the vehicle; configuring one or more reflective surfaces, based at least in part on the received trigger information, wherein configuring comprises positioning the one or more reflective surfaces with respect to the camera field of view; and adjusting the position of the one or more reflective surfaces based at least on the processing of the image information.
