1. Man’s Sixth Sense (Sensor Controls for an Automated Car) By Matthew Elias Husson I

2. Outline Senior Design Overview Ultrasonic Sensors Cameras Camera Lighting Control Conclusion Questions

3. Overview Project might be incorporated into Senior Design (Automated Car that uses cameras to detect obstacles) Importance of the car – Reduces the number of accidents that are caused by humans (especially women) Major companies are just beginning to implement these types of control systems Block Diagram

4. Overall Block Diagram

5. Ultrasonic Sensors Send out a sound wave Receiver waits for sound wave deflection Cylindrical objects – shorter detection distance

6. Cameras Take Pictures Filter out colors Triangulate two pictures for distance measurement Attempt to avoid glare problems

7. Purpose of the Lighting Control Picture Consistency No blacked out or too bright images Possible Glare Reduction

8. Theory The shutter speed determines how much light enters the lens If the time increases more light hits sensor If the time decreases less light hits the sensor

11. Conclusion Cameras today do not implement this type of control system. Therefore, Not sure if it is possible to implement. The car that we are designing might implement this design, but it might not. Definitely is better for multiple shot cameras.
