Position and Vector Detection of Blind Spot motion with the Horn Schunck Optical Flow
The proposed method uses live image footage which, based on calculations of pixel motion, decides whether or not an object is in the blind spot. If found, the driver is notified by a sensory light or noise built into the vehicle's CPU. The new technology incorporates optical vectors and flow fields rather than expensive radar waves, creating cheaper detection systems that retain the needed accuracy while adapting to the current processor speeds.
