A study on development of the blind spot detection system for the IoT-based smart connected car

The Internet of things (IoT) is an emerging topic in a variety of industry fields such as manufacturing, engineering, automobile, etc. Especially, many automobile companies are competitively introducing a smart-connected car in conjunction with the IoT technology. For instance, some recent vehicles support autonomous driving using cameras and radar-based safety features such as pre-collision prevention system, lane departure alert with a steering assistant function, etc. Based on this example of the IoT-based smart connected car, we actually developed the camera-based blind spot assistance system. The power / serializer board and camera board consisting of a number of sensors, processors, and other hardware components were developed by our own system interface design, and we confirmed that the developed system successfully met quantitative evaluation criteria through testing. Furthermore, we are proposing improvement plans and an idea of object detection in the blind spot based on a deep learning methodology.
