Latest Patents
One of Perovic's latest patents is titled "Method for calibrating vehicular vision system." This invention involves a method for calibrating a vehicular vision system that includes providing a camera at a vehicle, which has a specific field of view. The camera captures images, and a set of resultant images is acquired for classification. Information is extracted related to image features in these images, and an appropriate subset of coefficients is determined. For each classification, a classification vector of at least one appropriate weight is stored that corresponds to the determined subset of coefficients.
Another notable patent is the "Vehicle interior classification system and method." This invention determines a classification relating to the interior of the vehicle, such as the occupancy status of a vehicle seat or the state of alertness of a vehicle driver. This is achieved from one or more images of an appropriate portion of the vehicle's interior, acquired with an image capture device. The images are processed to limit their dynamic range, resulting in images that include regions of interest. The resultant images are then analyzed to extract information about features, allowing for effective classification.
