Theory Of Operation
The driver monitoring system consists of:
- Driver Monitoring System Module (DMSM)
- Driver Monitoring Camera (DMC)
- Two Infrared (IR) LEDs
The DMC monitors the driver's head and eye movements. The IR LEDs emit light of a specific wavelength to which the DMC imager is tuned. The DMSM processes the images and classifies the status and behavior of the driver.
The camera signals are sent via a coaxial cable to the DMSM. The DMSM monitors the camera and camera circuits for concerns.
