Abstract
Technologies are generally described for methods and systems effective to adjust a position of a mirror in a vehicle. In an example, a method for adjusting a position of a mirror in a vehicle may include a processor effective to receive an image of an operator of a vehicle. The processor may identify a reference point in the image and depth data. The processor may generate a mirror adjustment signal based on the depth data and the reference point. The processor may further send the mirror adjustment signal to the mirror to adjust a position of the mirror.
Claims20
A method for generating a mirror adjustment signal effective to adjust a position of a mirror in a vehicle, the method comprising, by a processor:
- receiving an image of an operator of the vehicle;
- identifying a reference point in the image;
- receiving depth data that indicates a distance between a sensor and the operator;
- generating a mirror adjustment signal based on the depth data and the reference point;
- and
- sending the mirror adjustment signal to one or more motors in the mirror.
A system configured to generate a mirror adjustment signal to adjust a position of a mirror in a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a memory;
- a camera configured to capture an image of an operator of the vehicle;
- a motor controller;
- and
- a processor configured in communication with the memory, the camera, the sensor, and the motor controller, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive the image;
- identify a reference point in the image;
- generate a mirror adjustment signal based on the reference point;
- and
- send the mirror adjustment signal to the motor controller.
A vehicle configured to generate a mirror adjustment signal, the vehicle comprising:
- a mirror, where the mirror includes:
- a first motor effective to adjust the mirror in a first direction;
- and
- a second motor effective to adjust the mirror in a second direction.
- a memory;
- a camera configured to capture an image of an operator of the vehicle;
- a sensor configured to generate depth data that indicates a distance between the sensor and the operator;
- a motor controller configured in communication with the mirror;
- and
- a processor configured in communication with the memory, the camera, the sensor, and the motor controller, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive the image;
- identify a reference point in the image;
- receive the depth data;
- generate a mirror adjustment signal based on the depth data and the reference point;
- and
- send the mirror adjustment signal to the motor controller.
