Abstract
Embodiments for using vehicular collaboration for vehicular blind spot detection by a processor. A collaboration of images, capturing one or more non-visible areas to an occupant of a vehicle, may be received from a plurality of collaborative vehicles in substantially close proximity to the vehicle for aiding in determining an object in the one or more non-visible areas.
Claims20
A method, by a processor, for using vehicular collaboration for vehicular blind spot detection, comprising:
- receiving a collaboration of data capturing one or more non-visible areas to an occupant of a vehicle from one or more devices of a plurality of collaborative vehicles in substantially close proximity to the vehicle for aiding in determining an object in the one or more non-visible areas;
- and
- requesting access to the plurality of collaborative vehicles in substantially close proximity to the vehicle by initiating a series of authentication operations to thereby join the vehicle to a network of the plurality of collaborative vehicles for receiving a one or more images, audio data, video stream, sensor based device data, or combination thereof from each imaging or sensing device associated with the plurality of vehicles, wherein the one or more images, the audio data, the video stream, the sensor based device data, or combination thereof are included in the collaboration of data to facilitate detection of the object such that, upon detection of the object in the one or more non-visible areas, at least one of a plurality of avoidance actions are performed to assist the vehicle in avoiding the object.
(canceled)
A system for using vehicular collaboration for vehicular blind spot detection, comprising:
- a processor, operable to receive input from a vehicular collaboration environment, that:
- receives a collaboration of data capturing one or more non-visible areas to an occupant of a vehicle from a plurality of collaborative vehicles in substantially close proximity to the vehicle for aiding in determining an object in the one or more non-visible areas;
- and
- requests access to the plurality of collaborative vehicles in substantially close proximity to the vehicle by initiating a series of authentication operations to thereby join the vehicle to a network of the plurality of collaborative vehicles for receiving a one or more images, audio data, video stream, sensor based device data, or combination thereof from each imaging or sensing device associated with the plurality of vehicles, wherein the one or more images, the audio data, the video stream, the sensor based device data, or combination thereof are included in the collaboration of data to facilitate detection of the object such that, upon detection of the object in the one or more non-visible areas, at least one of a plurality of avoidance actions are performed to assist the vehicle in avoiding the object.
(canceled)
A computer program product for using vehicular collaboration for vehicular blind spot detection by a processor, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- an executable portion that receives a collaboration of data capturing one or more non-visible areas to an occupant of a vehicle from a plurality of collaborative vehicles in substantially close proximity to the vehicle for aiding in determining an object in the one or more non-visible areas;
- and
- an executable portion that requests access to the plurality of collaborative vehicles in substantially close proximity to the vehicle by initiating a series of authentication operations to thereby join the vehicle to a network of the plurality of collaborative vehicles for receiving a one or more images, audio data, video stream, sensor based device data, or combination thereof from each imaging or sensing device associated with the plurality of vehicles, wherein the one or more images, the audio data, the video stream, the sensor based device data, or combination thereof are included in the collaboration of data to facilitate detection of the object such that, upon detection of the object in the one or more non-visible areas, at least one of a plurality of avoidance actions are performed to assist the vehicle in avoiding the object.
