Abstract: The laser (20) of a laser-generated windshield display (10) is controlled (22, 46) to initially deflect the laser beam in the direction of a reflective target (26) disposed outside a display region (24) of the windshield (12), and a sensor (28) disposed in a reflection path of the target (26) is sampled (22, 48) to detect the presence of a feedback signal that occurs when the laser beam impinges on the sensor (28). If the feedback signal is detected, the laser beam is deflected onto the display region (24) to generate a driver display (22, 48-52); but if the feedback signal is not detected, the laser (20) is automatically turned-off (22, 48, 58). Once the laser (22) is turned off for lack of a feedback signal, the control is repeated following a specified delay interval (22, 60, 62) so that the driver display will automatically resume the when the condition that prevented generation of the feedback signal is cured.

Abstract: An object awareness determination system and method of determining awareness of a driver (34) of a vehicle (10) to an object (16) is provided. The system includes an object monitor (18) including an object detection sensor (12A) for sensing an object (16) in a field of view and determining a position of the object (16). The system also includes an eye gaze monitor (38) including an imaging camera (30) oriented to capture images of the vehicle driver (34) including an eye (36) of the driver (34). The gaze monitor (38) determines an eye gaze vector ( g ¯ ). The system further has a controller (60) for determining driver awareness of the object (16) based on the detected object position and the eye gaze vector ( g ¯ ).

Abstract: A system and method are provided for actively illuminating and monitoring a subject (26), such as a driver of a vehicle (10). The system includes a video imaging camera (32) orientated to generate images of the subject eye(s) (28). The system also includes first and second light sources (20 and 30) offset from each other and operable to illuminate the subject. The system further includes a controller (34) for controlling illumination of the first and second light sources (20 and 30) such that when the imaging camera (32) detects sufficient glare (74), the controller (34) controls the first and second light sources (20 and 30) to minimize the glare (74). This is achieved by turning off the illuminating source (20 or 30) causing the glare (74).

Abstract: A drive system (10) for powering LED triads (66, 68, 70) includes a controller (12) for supplying power to one or more LED triad modules (14) with integral encoding of the desired hue and intensity information (22, 24). The LED triad modules (14) each include an LED triad (66, 68, 70) and decoding circuitry (72-82) for activating the individual LED elements of the triad (66, 68, 70) according to the encoded hue and intensity information. In the illustrated configuration, the controller (12) supplies power to the LED triad modules (14) over a pair of conductors (16a, 16b), and the supplied power is modulated using a four-phase encoding sequence that is decoded by the decoding circuitry (72-82) of each LED triad module (14) so that each LED triad module (14) produces light of the desired hue and intensity.
