Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of imaging technology, and in particular to a large-target-area super-starlight train cabin monitoring optical system. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing emphasis on driving safety, various driver-assistance systems have emerged, such as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), DMS (Driver Monitoring Systems), and OMS (Occupant Monitoring Systems). Among these, market demand for OMS systems (Occupant Monitoring Systems) supporting intelligent driving is increasing. OMS systems primarily track the status of passengers in the cabin to ensure their safety. However, they are primarily used in automobiles, with limited application in trains and subways.
