LARGE ANIMAL DETECTION AND INTERVENTION IN A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253652 titled 'LARGE ANIMAL DETECTION AND INTERVENTION IN A VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
A far-infrared camera in a vehicle detects large animals, calculates their distance based on pixel intensity, and takes action if the animal intersects with the vehicle's trajectory.
- Far-infrared camera in vehicle detects large animals
- Calculates distance to animals based on pixel intensity
- Takes action if animal intersects with vehicle's trajectory
Key Features and Innovation
- Utilizes far-infrared camera technology
- Determines distance to large animals using pixel intensity
- Automated response when animal intersects with vehicle's trajectory
Potential Applications
- Wildlife conservation
- Vehicle safety systems
- Surveillance and security
Problems Solved
- Enhances animal detection on roads
- Improves vehicle safety in wildlife-rich areas
Benefits
- Reduces risk of collisions with large animals
- Enhances driver awareness of wildlife presence
Commercial Applications
"Automated Wildlife Detection and Response System for Vehicles"
Questions about Automated Wildlife Detection and Response System for Vehicles
1. How does the far-infrared camera technology work to detect large animals? 2. What are the potential implications for wildlife conservation with this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
a far-infrared camera mounted in a vehicle generates an image frame. when an image of a large animal is identified in the image frame, a pixel intensity of the large animal image is determined. an estimated distance to the large animal from the far-infrared camera based on the pixel intensity is determined. when the animal is classified as a tracked animal, and future trajectories of the tracked animal and the vehicle intersect, a component in the vehicle is actuated.
