Journey Video Creation Using Vehicle Sensor Event Tagging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems do not effectively utilize vehicle sensors to automatically create meaningful videos of a journey, particularly in driving scenarios like racetracks and driver training, where drivers are interested in capturing significant driving moments.
Innovation Solution
A system that integrates vehicle sensors and video cameras to continuously record and process video sequences, extending metadata with technical driving parameters, evaluating these sequences along a timeline, and automatically creating a video with marked segments based on predefined criteria.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If video cameras continuously record video sequences throughout the journey, then complete journey documentation is achieved, but the resulting video is too long and lacks focus on significant moments
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the significant portions from continuous video recording by analyzing technical driving parameters (acceleration, braking, steering angles) and identifying moments that meet predefined criteria for significance, thereby removing unnecessary footage and creating a condensed highlight reel
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of video sequences by evaluating technical driving parameters against predefined criteria before final video creation, marking significant moments in advance to guide the compilation process and ensure only relevant segments are included
2Loss of information
If all video sequences are included in the journey video, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but the video becomes unmanageably long and loses meaningful structure
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the meaningful segments from continuous video recording by analyzing technical driving parameters and identifying moments that meet predefined criteria for significance, thereby removing unnecessary footage and creating a condensed highlight reel
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of video sequences by evaluating technical driving parameters against predefined criteria before final video creation, marking significant moments in advance to guide the compilation process and ensure only relevant segments are included
3Manufacturing precision
If manual selection of video segments is performed, then precise control over video content is achieved, but the process requires significant time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically evaluates video sequences against predefined criteria based on technical driving parameters, performing self-assessment to identify significant moments without requiring manual intervention, thereby achieving both precision and efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from technical driving parameter analysis to automatically determine which video segments meet the significance criteria, creating a closed-loop process that continuously refines video selection based on objective measurements of driving events
