Abstract
A rearview mirror system for a vehicle includes an interior rearview mirror assembly mounted at the interior surface of a windshield of the vehicle. A camera is incorporated into the interior rearview mirror assembly and has a field of view toward a front seat of the vehicle so as to capture images of an occupant of the vehicle. The camera captures image data. An image processor is provided with image data captured by the camera. The image processor image processes image data captured by the camera. The image processor, responsive at least in part to image processing of image data captured by the camera, recognizes movement. The movement comprises a hand gesture made by the occupant of the vehicle.
