Abstract
A warning method for driving a vehicle and an electronic apparatus for a vehicle are provided. An image sequence of a driver is successively captured by an image capturing unit. An ear side location region on a face object is detected in each image of the image sequence. And a moving trace of a target object is detected in each image of the image sequence. A reminding signal is sent when the moving trace moves toward the ear side location region.
Claims13
A warning method for driving a vehicle, utilized in an electronic apparatus for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- successively capturing an image sequence of a driver by an image capturing unit;
- detecting an ear side location region on a face object in each image of the image sequence;
- detecting a target object in each image of the image sequence;
- calculating a moving trace of the target object according to the image sequence;
- and
- sending a reminding signal when the moving trace moves toward the ear side location region.
An electronic apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
- an image capturing unit successively capturing an image sequence of a driver;
- a storage unit storing the image sequence;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the storage unit to obtain the image sequence and configured to performing an image processing module;
- wherein the image processing module detects an ear side location region on a face object in each image of the image sequence, detects a target object in each image of the image sequence, calculates a moving trace of the target object, determines whether the target object moves toward the ear side location region based on the moving trace, and sends a reminding signal when the moving trace moves toward the ear side location region.
