VEHICLE PATH ASSESSMENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining if objects are in a vehicle path comprising;
(a) producing at least one of a first image and/or first amount of image data for an area;
(b) determining a vehicle path and overlaying it on the at least one first image and/or representing it within the first amount of image data;
(c) producing at least one of a second image and/or second amount of image data for the area;
(d) using the at least one first image and/or first amount of image data and correlating it to the at least one second image and/or second amount of image data to determine objects which may be displaced in the at least one second image and/or second amount of image data;
(e) determining whether objects which are displaced are in the vehicle path;
(f) producing a notification of objects in the vehicle path via capable hardware based upon the outcome of the determining whether objects which are displaced are in the vehicle path.

13. A method comprising:
-
providing a vehicle; providing imaging hardware; providing a storage device which is capable of storing at least one image or image data; providing a controller for correlating or comparing images or image data; positioning the vehicle in an area such that the imaging hardware may create image(s) and/or image data which is relative to the vehicle'"'"'s position and which is sufficiently reproducible if the imaging hardware were to perform the image(s) and/or image data creation while the vehicle is in a moderately similar position relative to the area; using the imaging hardware to create at least one first image or image data; using the imaging hardware to create at least one second image or image data; using a controller to correlate or compare the at least one first image or image data to the at least one second image or image data to detect a difference between the at least one first image or image data to the at least one second image or image data; producing a sensory notification of objects in the vehicle path via capable hardware based upon the detection of a difference between the at least one first image or image data to the at least one second image or image data.
