Abstract
A detection system used for a car includes a number of time-of-flight (TOF) cameras and a processing unit. The TOF cameras capture images and obtain distance data between objects near the car and the TOF cameras. The processing unit receives the images and the distance data to determine a speed of each object moving toward the car. The processing unit further warns a driver of the car when a speed of one object moving toward the car is faster than a preset speed.
Claims10
A detection system used for a car, the detection system comprising:
- a plurality of time-of-flight (TOF) cameras being mounted on the car to capture images and obtain distance data between a plurality of objects near the car and the plurality of TOF cameras;
- a processing unit;
- and
- a storage unit connected between the processing unit and the TOF cameras, and storing a plurality of programs to be executed by the processing unit, wherein the storage unit comprises:
- a distance determining module to receive the images and distance data from the plurality of TOF cameras, and determine a speed of each object moving toward the car;
- and
- an alarming module to warn a driver of the car when a speed of one object moving toward the car is faster than a preset speed.
A detecting method used for a car, the detecting method comprising:
- capturing images and obtaining distance data between a plurality of objects near the car and a plurality of time-of-flight (TOF) cameras mounted on the car by the plurality of TOF cameras;
- receiving the images and distance data from the plurality of TOF cameras;
- obtaining a speed of each object moving toward the car;
- determining whether the speed of an object moving toward the car is faster than a preset speed;
- and
- alarming a driver of the car upon the condition that a speed of one object is faster than the preset speed.
