Pedestrians can be nearly invisible on dark roads, but Toshiba has developed a new image processor to help cars spot them.
The TMPV7608XBG image-recognition processor works with cameras mounted on a car to increase driver awareness and traffic safety.
It can alert the driver to nearby pedestrians even along dark roads where there are only a few lux of ambient light, according to the electronics maker, which claims it works as well as similar systems for daytime use.
Newly developed image-processing techniques allow the unit to detect stationary objects such as pylons, fallen trees and debris from landslides, as well as their distance, height and width.
