Abstract
In various embodiments, methods, systems, and vehicles are provided for locating an eye of an occupant of a vehicle. In an exemplary embodiment, a system is provided that includes: (i) a camera configured to generate a camera image of an occupant for a vehicle; and (ii) a processor coupled to the camera and configured to at least facilitate: (a) performing one or more Fourier transforms of the camera image; and (b) identifying a location for an eye of the occupant of the vehicle, using a phase model generated via the one or more Fourier transforms.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining a camera image of an occupant of a vehicle, via a camera of the vehicle;
- performing, via a processor, one or more Fourier transforms of the camera image;
- and
- identifying, via the processor, a location for an eye of the occupant of the vehicle, using a phase model generated via the one or more Fourier transforms.
A system comprising:
- a camera configured to generate a camera image of an occupant for a vehicle;
- and
- a processor coupled to the camera and configured to at least facilitate:
- performing one or more Fourier transforms of the camera image;
- and
- identifying a location for an eye of the occupant of the vehicle, using a phase model generated via the one or more Fourier transforms.
A vehicle comprising:
- a body;
- a drive system configured to move the body;
- a camera mounted on the body, the camera configured to generate a camera image of an occupant for the vehicle;
- and
- a processor coupled to the camera and configured to at least facilitate:
- performing one or more Fourier transforms of the camera image;
- and
- identifying a location for an eye of the occupant of the vehicle, using a phase model generated via the one or more Fourier transforms.
