Design and product implementation for an automotive BSD system

This paper proposes a vehicle blind spot detection (BSD) system to reduce the traffic accident when car was changing lanes on the road. The cameras are installed at the bottom of the left and right side view mirrors. The system reaches 99% vehicle detection rate and is applicable during daytime and nighttime without high-cost radar. Furthermore, the system integrates with functions of auto cycle video recording, side view and so on. The system is set with Sunplus®SPHE6700 and achieves real-time detection at 30 frame per second (FPS) with CORTEX®A9 dual-core @1GHz and accomplishes production and sales with TOYOTA® Altis.
