Method of detecting vehicle-operator state
ActiveUS7423540B2Less componentsShort response timeImage enhancementImage analysisDriver/operatorCounter measures
A method of detecting the state of an operator of a vehicle utilizes a low-cost operator state detection system having no more than one camera located preferably in the vehicle and directed toward a driver. A processor of the detection system processes preferably three points of the facial feature of the driver to calculate head pose and thus determine driver state (i.e. distracted, drowsy, etc.). The head pose is generally a three dimensional vector that includes the two angular components of yaw and pitch, but preferably not roll. Preferably, an output signal of the processor is sent to a counter measure system to alert the driver and / or accentuate vehicle safety response.

A method, computer program product, and a data processing system for optimizing task throughput in a multi-processor system. A performance metric is calculated based on performance counters measuring characteristics of a task executed at one of a plurality of processor frequencies available in the multi-processor system. The characteristics measured by the performance counters indicate activity in the processor as well as memory activity. A performance metric provides a means using measured data at one available frequency to predict performance at another processor frequency available in the multi-processing system. Performance loss minimization is used to assign a particular task to a particular frequency. Additionally, the present invention provides a mechanism for priority load balancing of tasks in a manner that minimizes cumulative performance loss incurred by execution of all tasks in the system.

A mobile radar system including Electronic Support Measures (ESM) which is adapted to detect and decode Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) signals. The system includes means for decoding or decrypting received IFF signals. The system uses an Electronic Counter Measure (ECM) transmitter which is adapted to transmit IFF response and interrogation signals. The IFF signals to be transmitted can be encrypted. Integrating IFF means into the ESM and ECM components results in mass and volume savings due to shared use of the transmitting and receiving resources. As the IFF signals are transmitted using ESM antennas, they can be directed towards a particular aircraft, thereby reducing spurious transmissions.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting physical threats approaching a vehicle. External sensors on a vehicle capture the environment around the vehicle. Approaching targets detected by the external sensors can be fed into a neural network to recognize and / or classify approaching targets as potential threats. Tracking mechanisms (e.g., Kalman filters, Particle filters, etc.) can leverage temporal information to determine if a threat is approaching a vehicle. When an approaching threat is detected, a vehicle can activate one or more counter measures to deter the threat. When a vehicle includes autonomous driving capabilities, counter measures can include automatically attempting to drive away from an approaching threat.

Infrared seeker head for target seeking missile
An infrared seeker head for target tracking missiles has a main detector and an imaging optical system generating an image of a field of view on the main detector. The field of view contains a target such as an enemy aircraft. The missile is guided to the target in accordance with signals from the main detector. The target, if attacked by the missile, emits high-intensity laser radiation towards the missile as a counter-measure. This is to disturb the operation of the seeker head by dazzling or even destroying the main detector. The seeker head contains a device for defending against such disturbances. Various types of such defending devices are described. Incident light is deviated from the main detector. A second-quadrant-detector of reduced sensitivity guides the missile along the disturbing laser beam. Another embodiment uses attenuating optical elements in front of the main detector under the control of one or more second detectors.
