Apparatus for controlling vehicle opening/closing element

摘要

A system for controlling vehicle opening/closing element has a radiation block for irradiating near-infrared light to a peripheral region of an opening/closing element; a photographing block that photographs an image irradiated with the near-infrared light; a hand region extraction block that extracts a user's hand region from brightness of an image photographed by the photographing block; a motion detection block that detects motions of the user's hand from the extracted hand region; and a control block that determines whether or not the detected motions coincide with previously-set predetermined motions and that commands operation of the opening/closing element in accordance with the determined motions.

主权项

1. An apparatus for controlling vehicle opening/closing element, including:
a near-infrared light radiation block configured to irradiate near-infrared light to a peripheral region of a vehicle opening/closing element; a photographing block configured to photograph an image including the region irradiated with the near-infrared light; a hand region extraction block configured to extract a user's hand region from brightness of the image photographed by the photographing block; a motion detection block configured to detect motions of the user's hand from a hand region extracted by the hand region extraction block; and an opening/closing element operation command control block configured to command operation of the opening/closing element if a match exists between the motions detected by the motion detection block and previously-set predetermined motions.
