Automatic image content analysis method and system

摘要

A system and method for analyzing and wirelessly transmitting information in real-time, comprising capturing snapshots and videos, by utilizing for example a smartphone. The images are analyzed in conjunction with other system data to provide the user: 3 dimensional images, GPS coordinates, safety alerts, etc. In particular, the system is mountable within a vehicle interior to provide: road conditions, dangerous driving situations, the make/model/manufacturer of surrounding cars, GPS coordinates, and the identity of local businesses. The user may also share the information via wireless transmissions with surrounding users possessing the same system, such as for real-time video gaming systems. And the system may also be detached from the vehicle for use in other scenarios, such as searching a merchant database for matching items and wirelessly sending the information to other system users.
