Abstract:
A video device for predicting driving situations while a person drives a car is presented. The video device includes multi-modal sensors and knowledge data for extracting feature maps, a deep neural network trained with training data to recognize real-time traffic scenes (TSs) from a viewpoint of the car, and a user interface (UI) for displaying the real-time TSs. The real-time TSs are compared to predetermined TSs to predict the driving situations. The video device can be a video camera. The video camera can be mounted to a windshield of the car. Alternatively, the video camera can be incorporated into the dashboard or console area of the car. The video camera can calculate speed, velocity, type, and/or position information related to other cars within the real-time TS. The video camera can also include warning indicators, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit different colors for the different driving situations.
