Apparatuses, Systems, and Methods for Capturing and Reporting Vehicle Information
First Claim
1. A school bus camera system, comprising:
- at least one camera and a video monitoring computer mounted on a school bus, the video monitoring computer including a processor and a data connection,wherein the at least one camera captures a continuous image set, andwherein the processor is connected to the at least one camera and executes software that;
selects a first image subset from the continuous image set, the first image subset including images captured while a stopping alert is activated;
selects a reference frame from the first image subset;
selects a second image subset from the first image subset, the second image subset including images where an object moves completely across the reference frame; and
transmits the second image subset through the data connection.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods, apparatuses, and systems for capturing and reporting vehicle information. Embodiments include a school bus camera system having at least one camera and a video monitoring computer mounted on a school bus. Video monitoring computer may include a processor and a data connection. At least one camera may capture a continuous image set. Processor may be connected to the at least one camera and execute software. Software may select a first image subset from the continuous image set. First image subset may include images captured while a stopping alert is activated. Software may select a reference frame from the first image subset and a second image subset from the first image subset. Second image subset may include images where an object moves past the reference frame. Software may transmit the second image subset through the data connection.

20. A method of capturing and sending object information, comprising:
-
selecting a first image subset from a continuous image set generated by at least one camera mounted on a vehicle, the first image subset including images captured while an alert is activated; selecting a reference frame from the first image subset; and selecting a second image subset from the first image subset, the second image subset including images where an object moves completely across the reference frame. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A vehicle monitoring system, comprising:
-
an image capture arrangement in communication with a monitoring computer, the monitoring computer including video capture software and video analytics software; wherein the video capture software records a continuous image set captured by the image capture arrangement, wherein the video analytics software;
selects a first image subset from the continuous image set, the first image subset including images captured while a stopping alert is activated;
selects a reference frame from the first image subset; and
selects a second image subset from the first image subset, the second image subset including images where an object moves completely across the reference frame. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
