MONITORING SYSTEM AND MONITORING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320984 titled 'MONITORING SYSTEM AND MONITORING METHOD
The monitoring system described in this patent application includes an image acquiring section, a determining section, an area setting section, and a detecting section.
- The image acquiring section captures images of the left and right rear sides of a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle.
- The determining section checks if the towed vehicle is present in the images.
- The area setting section marks a dangerous area on one side of the towing and towed vehicles if the towed vehicle is detected.
- The detecting section identifies collision hazardous objects in the dangerous area.
Potential Applications: - Vehicle safety systems - Collision avoidance technology - Fleet management solutions
Problems Solved: - Enhancing safety during towing operations - Preventing collisions between towing and towed vehicles
Benefits: - Improved monitoring and detection capabilities - Enhanced safety for drivers and vehicles - Reduced risk of accidents during towing
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Towing Vehicle Safety System This technology can be utilized in commercial vehicles, transportation companies, and automotive safety equipment manufacturers to enhance the safety of towing operations and reduce the risk of accidents.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between the towing and towed vehicles in the images? 2. What types of collision hazardous objects can be detected in the dangerous area?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of vehicle safety systems and collision avoidance technologies may provide further advancements and improvements to this monitoring system.
Original Abstract Submitted
a monitoring system according to the present disclosure includes: an image acquiring section; a determining section; an area setting section; and a detecting section. the image acquiring section acquires images obtained by photographing left and right rear sides of a towing vehicle, respectively. the determining section determines whether a towed vehicle towed by the towing vehicle is present in the images. when the determining section determines that the towed vehicle is present in the image, the area setting section sets a dangerous area having a curved shape on one lateral side of the left lateral side and the right lateral side of the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle, the one lateral side being a side where the image in which the towed vehicle is determined to be present is photographed. the detecting section detects a collision hazardous object present in the dangerous area.
