| Abstract | In a situation where two cars collide on an isolated area, there is always the possibility of the passengers in the cars to lie about the accident mainly due to fear of being guilty for the accident. In such situations, a more reliable source (witness) of information must be present to deliver dependable information regarding the accident. For this purpose an electronic device is built, that would record the activities taking place inside the car, to show the drivers and the passengers actions before the accident. This device is known as a vehicle black box, because it severs a similar function to the flight data recorder. The main purpose of this project is to build a prototype of a Black Box for vehicle diagnosis that can be installed into any vehicle. This prototype can be used to build safer vehicles, helping insurance companies with their vehicle crash investigations. For this implementation, the number of cameras and their placement to cover the whole of the inside of the car are two main parameters that should be considered. Thus an implementation of real time computer vision method using open source computer vision (OpenCV) libraries was done. To achieve a good quality video a 2 megapixel web camera was used. The system accuracy was determined under different conditions of pan, tilt and zoomed. A Raspberry pi b+ was used as the programming board, mainly due to the compact features of video recording and built in Wi-Fi. The system records the events taking place inside the vehicle, and automatically transfers them to a server at the vehicle owners house through Wi-Fi. This system can be further improved and enhanced for better use of vehicle safety, by building a method to transfer the video real time from the vehicle. |
