Vehicle Camera Signal Overlay for Real-Time Hazard Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle systems lack an efficient means to enhance driver visibility and detect hazardous situations using existing camera systems without replacing the existing capturing and monitoring equipment, and there is a need to transmit alerts effectively within the vehicle's data transmission path.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device installed in a vehicle converts analog signals from a camera into digital signals, processes them using deep learning and computer vision models to identify target objects, generates a synthesized image by overlaying computer graphics, and transmits this image as an analog signal to a receiving device for real-time display or storage, while also determining hazardous elements based on driving information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an electronic device is installed in the data transmission path to process and enhance image signals, then driver visibility and hazard detection capability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
An electronic device is installed as an intermediary in the data transmission path between the existing camera system and the display system. This device receives analog signals from the camera, converts them to digital signals, processes the image data to detect hazards and generate alerts, and transmits the processed signals back to the display system. This intermediary approach enables enhanced hazard detection without replacing the existing camera or display systems.
2Ease of manufacture
If existing camera systems are used without replacement, then cost and installation complexity are reduced, but hazard detection and driver visibility enhancement capabilities are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device performs multiple functions within a single system component: it converts analog camera signals to digital format, processes images to detect target objects and hazards, generates alert signals, and transmits processed data to the display system. This multi-functional approach enables enhanced hazard detection capabilities while maintaining compatibility with existing single-function camera and display systems.
3Measurement precision
If analog signals are converted to digital signals for processing, then image processing capability and hazard detection accuracy are improved, but processing time and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device continuously converts analog camera signals to digital signals and processes image data in real-time through a data transmission path, maintaining a ready state for hazard detection. By continuously processing signals rather than waiting for specific events, the system minimizes detection delays and ensures rapid hazard identification when needed.

AI summary
Provided is an electronic device configured to receive an analog signal for an original image captured using a target camera mounted on a vehicle, convert the analog signal for the original image into a digital signal based on a resolution of the original image, generate a digital image based on the digital signal, determine a target object in the digital image using one or more image recognition models, generate a synthesized image by synthesizing a computer graphic for the target object with the digital image, convert the synthesized image into an analog signal, and transmit the analog signal for the synthesized image to an analog signal-receiving device installed in the vehicle.
