Abstract
A system mountable in a vehicle to provide object detection in the vicinity of the vehicle. The system includes a camera operatively attached to a processor. The camera is mounted externally at the rear of the vehicle. The field of view of the camera is substantially in the forward direction of travel of the vehicle along the side of the vehicle. Multiple image frames are captured from the camera. Yaw of the vehicle may be input or the yaw may be computed from the image frames. Respective portions of the image frames are selected responsive to the yaw of the vehicle. The image frames are processed to detect thereby an object in the selected portions of the image frames.
Claims20
A method for processing reports received from vehicles, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first navigation system of a first vehicle, a first report, wherein the first report was generated by the first navigation system after detecting a first stationary object and a first non-stationary object in an environment of the first vehicle based on an analysis of image data collected by the first navigation system;
- receiving, from a second navigation system of a second vehicle, a second report, wherein the second report was generated by the second navigation system after detecting a second stationary object and a second non-stationary object in an environment of the second vehicle based on an analysis of image data collected by the second navigation system;
- analyzing the first report and the second report to determine that the first report and the second report identify related objects;
- aggregating the first report and the second report into a consolidated report;
- and
- processing the consolidated report to identify a root cause and a contributing factor associated with the related objects.
A system for processing reports received from vehicles, the system including a server operable to:
- receive, from a first navigation system of a first vehicle, a first report, wherein the first report was generated by the first navigation system after detecting a first stationary object and a first non-stationary object in an environment of the first vehicle based on an analysis of image data collected by the first navigation system;
- receive, from a second navigation system of a second vehicle, a second report, wherein the second report was generated by the second navigation system after detecting a second stationary object and a second non-stationary object in an environment of the second vehicle based on an analysis of image data collected by the second navigation system;
- analyze the first report and the second report to determine that the first report and the second report identify related objects;
- aggregate the first report and the second report into a consolidated report;
- and
- process the consolidated report to identify a root cause and a contributing factor associated with the related objects.
