Abstract

A vehicle system includes a computer in a vehicle, and the computer includes a processor and a memory. The computer is configured to determine that a user is located within an operating region for an access component of the vehicle, collect image data of an object in a gesture path for the access component, compare the object image data to activating gesture parameters, and operate the access component when the comparison identifies an activating gesture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to vehicle access components, and more particularly, to systems and methods for controlling vehicle access components. Background technique [0002] Modern popular passenger vehicles may include various access features, such as doors and liftgates, that may be manually or power operated. Additionally, power-operated components may be controlled or activated in a variety of ways, including on-board control, wireless control, sensed user proximity and / or gestures, and combinations thereof. For example, certain vehicle doors—such as the power-operated liftgate on various models of Ford Escape vehicles—may be controlled in part by motion sensors that detect certain gestures, such as foot movement, along with proximity sensors, such as key fob sensors. [0003] Such systems must be robustly designed to avoid false detection of activation triggers, eg accidental activation based on some other object or action. However, intenti...
