Method And System For Improving Camera Infrared Sensitivity Using Digital Zoom

View page
US Patent:
6420704, Jul 16, 2002
Filed:
Dec 7, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/732429
Inventors:
John J. Berenz - San Pedro CA
George W. McIver - Redondo Beach CA
Barry Dunbridge - Torrance CA
Assignee:
TRW Inc. - Redondo Beach CA
International Classification:
G01J 302
US Classification:
250330, 250332, 250334, 2503381, 2502012, 250221
Abstract:
A system for providing recognition of an approaching object located in a distant no-light environment includes an illumination source for transmitting light to the distant object and an imaging device for detecting the light radiation reflected from the distant object to generate an image of the distant object corresponding thereto. The system also includes an independent digital signal processor for calculating a desired optical magnification of a lens of the imaging device as a function of a distance between the imaging device and the distant object and generates a voltage corresponding thereto. The digital signal processor applies the voltage to the digital zoom circuitry of the imaging device to adjust the magnification of the lens so that the image of the distant object is held in a fixed dimension.

US Patent:
6741169, May 25, 2004
Filed:
Jul 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/900323
Inventors:

Barry Dunbridge - Torrance CA
George W. McIver - Redondo Beach CA
David L. Juzswik - Commerce MI
Timothy DeZorzi - South Lyon MI
Albert M. Straub - Ann Arbor MI
Assignee:
TRW Inc. - Redondo Beach CA
International Classification:
B60Q 100
US Classification:
340438, 340442, 340443, 340444, 340447, 731462, 731463, 731464, 731465, 731468
Abstract:
A tire monitoring method and apparatus is provided to predict tire tread separation for a tire on a wheel of a vehicle. This may involve monitoring a parameter of a tire of a vehicle over time and comparing information regarding the monitored parameter (over time) with a reference threshold value of the parameter (over time). The method may also include providing information to a driver based on the comparison. The parameter may be acceleration (axial, radial or longitudinal) along an axis of the tire. The parameter may also be tire imbalance, temperature inside the tire, speed of the tire, load and/or pressure, for example. Information regarding the comparison may be transmitted to a driver if the monitored parameter exceeds the reference threshold value for a predetermined amount of time.

Tire And Suspension Warning And Monitoring System

View page
US Patent:
6759952, Jul 6, 2004
Filed:
Jul 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/900324
Inventors:
Barry Dunbridge - Torrance CA
Kenneth L. Brown - Manhattan Beach CA
George W. McIver - Redondo Beach CA
Kiran R. Magiawala - Hawthorne CA
Kelley D. Chilcott - Redondo Beach CA
Assignee:
TRW Inc. - Redondo Beach CA
International Classification:
B60C 2300
US Classification:
340444, 340438, 340440, 340445, 152152, 301 521
Abstract:
A tire and suspension monitoring and warning system consisting of a set of multi-function sensors that monitor and warn of a failure mode. The system monitors and warns for tire imbalance, tire tread wear, and shock absorbers for a tire attached to a vehicle. The monitoring and warning system includes one axial, radial, and lateral acceleration measurement of the wheel to provide acceleration signal sample power. For tire imbalance, signal sample power in the second harmonic of the tire rotational frequency is compared to that of the first harmonic. For tire tread wear, average signal sample power within a second frequency range is compared to a previously stored baseline value. For shock absorber performance, a sum of all frequency components in a second predetermined frequency range is compared to a baseline value.

Optimized Human Presence Detection Through Elimination Of Background Interference

US Patent:
6810135, Oct 26, 2004
Filed:
Jun 29, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/607008
Inventors:
John J. Berenz - San Pedro CA
George W. McIver - Redondo Beach CA
Joseph W. Niesen - La Mirada CA
Barry Dunbridge - Torrance CA
Gregory A. Shreve - San Pedro CA
Assignee:
TRW Inc. - Redondo Beach CA
International Classification:
G06K 900
US Classification:
382118, 280735
Abstract:
A human presence detection system ( ) that employs a frame differencing technique for subtracting out background interference from images generated by the system. The system ( ) includes an infrared source ( ) that generates a beam of infrared radiation, and an infrared detector ( ) that receives infrared radiation reflected from objects in the path of the beam. Face recognition software is employed to determine the presence of a person ( ) from the reflected radiation. The infrared source ( ) is pulsed on and off and the detector ( ) is synchronously shuttered to the pulses so that image frames are generated at different times, where one frame includes reflected radiation and background radiation and another frame includes only background radiation. The frames are subtracted to separate out the background radiation. In one embodiment, the detector ( ) includes a pixel array of photodiodes ( ) and first and second capacitor storage sites ( ) for storing the image frames on a single CMOS chip ( ).

US Patent:
7123747, Oct 17, 2006
Filed:
May 28, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/156592
Inventors:
Jon K. Wallace - Redford MI, US
Farid Khairallah - Farmington Hills MI, US
Barry Dunbridge - Torrance CA, US
John J. Berenz - San Pedro CA, US
Assignee:
TRW Inc. - Lyndhurst OH
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382104, 348148, 701117
Abstract:
A method for helping to control a vehicle occupant protection device () includes taking an image of the vehicle interior with a digital imager () having an array of pixels (). A contiguous portion of the image less than the entire image is selected. At least one image enhancement technique is applied to the selected image portion. The enhanced image portion is combined with the other portions of the image to make an enhanced image. The enhanced image is analyzed to detect at least one of features and characteristics of the enhanced image. Alternatively, a selected non-contiguous group of the pixels () of the imager () are read out, as representative of the entire image, to estimate the illumination levels across the entire array of pixels. In one aspect, the imager shutter () speed may be controlled to enhance the image.
