Road environment analysis technology using dashboard cameras
Displays the position of signs and mobile entities in the image on a map, for traffic analysis and infrastructure inspections.
- Using images and GPS information obtained from dashboard cameras, displays on a map the movement of mobile entities (e.g., own vehicle, other vehicles, pedestrians) and the position of signs, billboards, and other road related objects.
- Uses Cloud AI to process information recorded using commercial dashboard cameras.
Map data from OpenStreetMap
Applications
- Analysis of traffic accidents for insurance companies
- Regular inspections and testing of road infrastructure facilities such as power lines, telephone poles, and road signs
- Support guidance in safe driving for safe driving managers
- Traffic analysis and driving diagnostics involving trucks, buses, and taxis
Benchmarks, strengths, and track record
- Uses inexpensive, easy-to-use dashboard cameras rather than specialized vehicles equipped with expensive sensors.
- Enables more accurate estimates of own and other vehicles’ positions than with existing methods.
- Link image recognition services offered by Toshiba and others and enable items of interest to users to be displayed on a map.
- Already adopted in existing products.
