On Head Detection based on Simulated Proximity Sensor using IR Cameras - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240104889 titled 'On Head Detection based on Simulated Proximity Sensor using IR Cameras
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for detecting a proximate object using cameras and illuminators. The system captures image data when the illuminators are illuminated, analyzes brightness statistics from the image data, and determines if the statistics meet a predetermined threshold to detect the object.
- Cameras and illuminators are used to capture image data of the proximate object.
- Brightness statistics are determined from the image data.
- Detection of the object is based on whether the brightness statistics meet a predetermined threshold.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various fields such as security systems, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in accurately detecting proximate objects in different environments, enhancing safety and efficiency in various applications.
Benefits
The system provides reliable detection of objects in real-time, improving decision-making processes and reducing the risk of accidents or errors.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Enhancing Object Detection in Security Systems Using Camera and Illuminator Technology"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of infrared sensors for object detection in security systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle varying lighting conditions?
The system may need to adjust the sensitivity of the illuminators or cameras to adapt to different lighting environments.
What is the range of detection for this system?
The range of detection may vary depending on the specifications of the cameras and illuminators used in the system.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system for detecting a proximate object includes one or more cameras and one or more illuminators. the proximate object is detected by obtaining image data captured by the one or more cameras, where the image data is captured when at least one of the one or more illuminators are illuminated, determining brightness statistics from the image data, and determining whether the brightness statistics satisfies a predetermined threshold. the proximate object is determined to be detected in accordance with a determination that the brightness statistics satisfies the predetermined threshold.
