Abstract
A monitoring system can monitor, using one or more sensors, conditions external to a vehicle. The system detects one or more external conditions. Based, at least in part, on the external conditions, the system can transmit a signal corresponding to an alert to an output device.
Claims18
A monitoring system for a vehicle, comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the monitoring system to:
- monitor, using the one or more sensors, audio information external to the vehicle;
- based on the audio information, detect a noise anomaly external to the vehicle;
- and
- based, at least in part, on the noise anomaly external to the vehicle, transmit an alert signal to an output device;
- wherein the executed instructions cause the monitoring system to monitor the audio information by executing a cluster analysis model, and wherein detecting the audio anomaly comprises detecting a micro cluster in the audio information that corresponds to an outlier or deviation from one or more audio patterns.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a monitoring system, cause the monitoring system to:
- monitor, using one or more sensors, audio information external to a vehicle;
- based on the audio information, detect a noise anomaly external to the vehicle;
- and
- based, at least in part, on the noise anomaly external to the vehicle, transmit an alert signal to an output device;
- wherein the executed instructions cause the one or more processors to monitor the audio information by executing a cluster analysis model, and wherein detecting the audio anomaly comprises detecting a micro cluster in the audio information that corresponds to an outlier or deviation from one or more audio patterns.
A computer-implemented method of providing alerts, the method being performed by one or more processors of a monitoring system and comprising:
- monitoring, using one or more sensors, audio information external to a vehicle;
- based on the audio information, detecting a noise anomaly external to the vehicle;
- and
- based, at least in part, on the noise anomaly external to the vehicle, transmitting an alert signal to an output device;
- wherein the one or more processors monitor the audio information by executing a cluster analysis model, and wherein detecting the audio anomaly comprises detecting a micro cluster in the audio information that corresponds to an outlier or deviation from one or more audio patterns.
