Abstract

This paper describes and automatic mirror adjustment system that rotates a pair of side mirrors and the room mirror of a car to the optimal position for a driver by using the locating of the driver\`s pupils. A stereo vision system measures 3D coordinates of a pair pupils by analyzing the input images of stereo B/W CCD cameras mounted on the instrument panel. this system determines the position angle of each mir-ror on the basis of information about the location of the pupils and rotates each mirror to the appropriate po-sition by mirror actuators. The vision system can detect the driver\`s pupils regardless of whether it is day-time or nighttime by virtue of an infrared light source. information about the pair of nostrils in used to im- prove the correctness of pupil detection. This system can adjust side mirrors and the room mirror automati- cally and rapidly by a simple interface regardless of driver replacement of driver\`s posture. Experiment has shown this to be a new mirror adjustment system that can make up for the weak points of previous mirror adjustment systems.
