Design and implementation for an automotive DOA system
In order to solve the problem of traffic accidents that caused by drivers and passengers open the door abruptly, this paper proposes a door open alarm (DOA) system that uses the camera as the sensor, and applies two analog cameras that set at the both side view mirrors to get the video information. This paper is based on image processing to develop the algorithm and has been implemented on Renesas®R-Car developed platform that built in ARM®Cortex-A15 dual-core and clock rate is 1.5 GHz. The DOA system can detect closing targets in 20 meters of the rear vehicle immediately, and the frame rate is 30 frame per second (FPS). The detection rate in day and night is 98.04% and 96.15%.
