Night Vision On Cars

Application of current night vision for cars deemed possible

Car safety is now one of the most important aspects in building cars that automakers are paying close attention a. A lot of security systems brought by the advances in technology has already been developed and are now used in cars produced in mass. A security system that has received much attention is the night vision in vehicles. But Unfortunately, this was hesitated.

After a somber introduction of the system in the first part of this decade, interest in the security system is back and promises to stay this time. A study by ABI Research, as a matter of fact, that night vision systems for cars can enter the current application near future.

The research tells us that if the night vision system is combined with other security systems based on the camera, the result will be a better night vision system. It may be recalled that both GM and Toyota launched their car at the turn of the century that is equipped with night vision systems. Unfortunately, public interest on this security system faltered. This is due to the fact that those previous start in developing a night vision system for car only focuses on providing a better picture of the road the driver. The driver has to interpret the information given which makes the technology not as convenient at the time.

But today which has made great improvements in the field of obstacle detection via machine vision, would It would be perfectly possible to do a better night vision system for today's cars. obstacle detection system as the Volvo City Safety and System Blind Spot Information can be integrated into a night vision system to provide drivers with not only a better view of the road ahead, but information ultimately also on the obstacles that can be detected. Instead of analyzing the given data controller, an onboard computer just told the driver to potential problems he may face and give adequate warning. The only thing that hampers application of the mainstream of the two systems is integrated as a cost of production.

David Alexander, senior analyst at ABI Research said: "The Honda system is available today, but only in Japan, is the first generation a "smart" night vision function. "

"But the cost is too high for high volume sales. The use of the underlying object detection technology and the identification of other applications based on the camera, could lead to a new category of night vision capability is both inexpensive and easy for drivers to use, "Alexander added more.

The combination of a camera-based security Night vision technology and enhance driver safety during night driving. The security system will alert the driver of an obstacle approaches thus protecting it from accidents at night, like a Volvo fuel filter does when it protects the detection engine fuel into and out of the engine lubrication system.

Continuous development of technology leads to more functional system that will surely once again would capture the interest of the traveling public. In studies conducted by automobile manufacturers and their partners in the field night vision, no doubt, a night vision system rotation beyond the capacity of the systems had hired night security vision. If While the development of this system is based on the shoulders of the car manufacturers, the success of this technology will depend on how well the public will accept it. And public acceptance once they are measured in the first wave of buyers who will soon be evaluating the available technology.
