IMAGE-BASED VEHICLE SAFETY WARNING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An image-based vehicle safety warning system, comprising:
- an image retrieval module for receiving an image signal from a source and allowing camera parameters of the source of the image signal to be input;
a space definition module for defining an image space based on the camera parameters of the source of the image signal and for defining warning areas in the image space individually with a specific warning level;
an object identification module for identifying an appearance of a vehicle in the image space based on the image signal and variations of the image signal; and
a warning indication module for determining an identified location of the vehicle in the image space, determining an interrelation between the identified location of the vehicle and at least one of the warning areas individually with the specific warning level in the image space, and providing a specific level of alarm corresponding to the interrelation.

Abstract
An image-based vehicle safety warning system is disclosed, which uses an image retrieval module for receiving an image signal and camera parameters related to the source of the image signal into a space definition module, which defines an image space and warning areas of different levels in the image space. Then, an object identification module identifies parts of a possible vehicle in the image according to the image signal and variations thereof. A warning indication module then obtains an interrelation by locating the position of the vehicle within the image space and comparing the vehicle position with the warning areas, thereby providing alarms in different levels based on the interrelation.
