Vehicle collision event announcing system and method

摘要

A vehicle collision event announcing system is provided. The system includes: a processor; an image capturing unit, coupled to the processor, for capturing vehicle images from at least a part of the vehicle; a collision sensing unit, for detecting whether the vehicle is running into a probable collision event; and a feature image comparison unit, coupled to the processor, for when the collision sensing unit detects the probable collision event, comparing the vehicle images before and after the probable collision event to determine whether the probable collision event is a real collision event which causes damage to the vehicle and/or the seriousness of the damage of the real collision event.

1. A vehicle collision event announcing system, comprising:
a processor; an image capturing unit, coupled to the processor, configured to capture images from at least a part of a vehicle; a collision sensing unit, configured to detect a probable collision event involving the vehicle; and a feature image comparison unit, coupled to the processor, configured to compare an image captured before the probable collision event and an image captured after the probable collision event in response to detection of the probable collision event by the collision sensing unit, and to determine accordingly whether the probable collision event is a real collision event in which damage comprising deformation is caused to the vehicle.
