Abstract: A method is proposed for assuring that the operator of a vehicle is an authorized driver, said method comprising: 
utilizing an onboard, multi-mode driver verification system to ascertain whether an operator is an authorized driver; 
performing a first driver verification procedure on a present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle; 
performing a second driver verification procedure on the present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle, wherein said second driver verification procedure is different from said first driver verification procedure; 
exercising a remedial measure to avert potentially negative impact when the present operator of the vehicle is determined to be an unauthorized driver based upon at least one of the performed verification procedures; and 
wherein at least one of the verification procedures comprises utilizing biometric data that can change over time for a particular person thereby potentially permitting a verification failure of that person based on a comparison of current biometric measures against a previously-produced template of the same characteristics, and automatically updating the previously-produced template, said automatic update being achieved by using one or more verification methods to verify the driver while one of the verification methods not used for verification is used for updating the previously-produced template if the verification process was a success, and wherein said remedial measure is exercised when the present operator of the vehicle is determined to be an unauthorized driver based upon at least two of the performed verification procedures.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method which uses a series of images sensed by an image sensor including at least one preceding image and one following image to estimate movement. A first estimated movement is initially obtained (101) by estimating the total movement from the preceding image to the following image. Next, an image compensated according to the first estimated movement is obtained (102) from either one of the preceding and following images. Then, a second estimated movement (U, V, N) is obtained (103) by estimating dense movement between the compensated image and the other from the preceding and following images. Next, a residual value of global movement (r) is determined (104). Finally, if (105) the residual value is lower than a threshold value (S) the second estimated movement (U, V, N) is provided; otherwise, the preceding steps are repeated. The first estimated movement is determined by applying a binary image mask, and if during step /e/ the steps /a/ to /e/ are repeated, said steps are performed by applying a binary image mask updated according to the second estimated movement.
