Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of anti-collision safety protection for automobiles, in particular to a safety protection device and method for preventing automobile collisions using active infrared light irradiation image processing technology, and the protection scope involves the front and rear of the vehicle. Avoid collisions in front of the car, and prevent being rear-ended by the rear car behind the car. Background technique [0002] Safe vehicle distance measurement, risk assessment and early warning, and vehicle speed control are important functions of vehicle intelligent anti-collision systems, and have been highly valued by people for a long time. Among them, safe vehicle distance measurement and risk assessment and early warning are the key contents of the research on intelligent vehicle collision avoidance system. At present, many car safety protectors using millimeter radar wave ranging, infrared ranging and image ranging have been inv...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Millimeter radar wave ranging technology and image ranging technology are mainly used in unmanned vehicles that are in the research stage in various countries. Some imported high-end luxury cars in my country are also used. They are only suitable for constant-speed cruise on high-grade highways. Reports and cases of use on rural roads and urban roads are high in cost and cannot be used in mid-to-low-end cars, passenger cars and trucks. Moreover, the car safety protectors with existing image ranging technology often need to use natural light. In foggy weather, Cannot be used in heavy rain or at night

[0004] Infrared ranging technology cannot realize accurate distance detection of moving targets while the car is driving, but can only detect the presence or absence of targets within an appropriate distance, and it depends on the degree of reflection of the target on infrared light, that is, the intensity of infrared reflection

Therefore, it cannot effectively detect targets with weak reflective capabilities such as pedestrians, animals, trees, low road objects, dirty vehicles, etc., resulting in serious limitations in its use.
