Abstract
A system and method for detecting a seat belt violation in a vehicle. The method may include receiving an image including a region of interest where a seat belt is visible if the seat belt is buckled. One or more first features may be extracted from the image. The one or more first features may be compared to one or more second features extracted from a plurality of sample images. It may be determined whether the seat belt is buckled in the image based upon the comparison.
Claims20
A method for detecting a seat belt violation in a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving an image including a region of interest where a seat belt is visible if the seat belt is buckled;
- extracting one or more first features from the image;
- comparing the one or more first features to one or more second features extracted from a plurality of sample images;
- and
- determining whether the seat belt is buckled in the image based upon the comparison.
A method for detecting a seat belt violation in a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of first images, each including a region of interest where a seat belt is visible if the seat belt is buckled;
- extracting one or more first features from each of the first images;
- training a classifier to determine whether the seat belt is buckled using the one or more first extracted features;
- receiving a second image including the region of interest;
- extracting one or more second features from the second image;
- comparing the one or more second extracted features to the one or more first extracted features;
- and
- determining whether the seat belt is buckled in the second image based upon the comparison.
A system for detecting a seat belt violation in a vehicle, comprising:
- a training device configured to:
- receive a plurality of first images, each including a region of interest where a seat belt is visible if the seat belt is buckled;
- extract one or more first features from each of the first images;
- and
- determine whether the seat belt is buckled using the one or more first extracted features;
- and
- a determination device configured to:
- receive a second image including the region of interest;
- extract one or more second features from the second image;
- compare the one or more second extracted features to the one or more first extracted features;
- and
- determine whether the seat belt is buckled in the second image based upon the comparison.
