A real-time vision-based safety assist system

In this paper, a real-time vision-based safety assist system is proposed to provide the driver an assistance system improving the security on driving and after parking. The estimated distances and a friendly intuitive graph are shown on the screen for drivers to examine the distance between other vehicles. The driving status can also be recorded in H.264. Furthermore, the users´ mobile phones can monitor the images inside the vehicles to prevent the thieves after parking. The system has been implemented with the embedded systems and tested by the real road environment.
