Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Fleet managers rely on the analysis of images from inside and outside vehicles to determine events that affect the safe driving of the vehicle, such as improper driver behavior, accident investigation, speeding, tailgating, hazardous conditions, etc. Further, if a driver gets in an accident, a camera with an impaired view will provide useless footage for the purpose of driver exoneration. When the cameras do not provide good images (e.g., the camera view is blocked or the camera viewing angle is not the expected one), then itis not possible to perform an image analysis of the state of the vehicle.
