Image transmission for inter-vehicle safety application

Vision-based applications leveraged on the CMOS camera aim to provide the road condition sensing solution for inter-vehicle safety application as well as car drivers' acknowledgement and notification. Using the Roborealm simulation environment, on-board camera detects the road boundaries beside the car for path prediction system and IR sensor used to interpret the car present location. The proposed system performed the prior informing function for the driver with different frequencies for events and the panel wording displayed. A thorough comparison in CCD and CMOS camera performance on the level of different pixel has been evaluated. Performance of the system is also evaluated in the case that the use different values of min variation filter as well as the definition to avoid erroneous data in order to get the best picture presentation. In the future, this system is to be integrating further with the vehicle accident report system for the authority and paramedics to dispatch the team in a short time.
