Including image acquisition techniques, image processing techniques, image recognition techniques, control techniques, wireless and wired communication techniques, display and storage techniques.
Background
With the continuous improvement of living standard, the automobile has entered into thousands of households and becomes the first choice for people to go out. Now, people can not leave the automobile more and more, and people stay on the automobile more and more everyday. In addition, due to the popularization of mobile phones and the continuous improvement of functional performance, people always want to record what people see anytime and anywhere and share with everyone, even when driving. But in consideration of safety factors (traffic laws and regulations do not allow), people cannot record what people see and hear and share with people through mobile phones, cameras and video cameras when driving.
Today, one or more cameras are installed on automobiles. At present, the auxiliary device is mainly used for assisting a driver to observe the environment around the vehicle when the vehicle starts or backs, and particularly assisting the driver to observe places (blind spots) which cannot be observed and/or are inconvenient to observe during the driving process so as to improve the driving safety of the vehicle. During the normal running process of the vehicle, most of the cameras are in a non-operating state. In addition, the vehicle simply displays the surroundings viewed by the cameras on the in-vehicle display, and does not store the viewed surroundings images in the storage device.
