Police Camera Radar

Origin

The origin has been on the back of my mind but it really came forth one day. I was driving down the highway being closely followed by a mustang. He was all up in my business so I moved out of the way and back to follow him. He took off and soon after in my trusty Jetta I followed behind him at an undisclosed speed. I was looking at the bridges for spies, around for cops sitting, and down the road for radar as I know how it can be. Then it hit me, I want to create a program that does that. I already started it with TOBIAS so let's just continue and take that program one step further.

Overview

Grabbing the situation based on frame and comparing to the base frame locating the police if it is sitting there or based on the feed as that is still up in the air.

Result

The result was a failure because of the complexity of the systems they have written. I can use code to identify cars and identify if they are moving or not as the first step would only be stationary cops. The issue is that I could not grab the feed easily and doing it for 49 other websites. Even though some could be the same it would still be a pain in the ass.

Crash Detection

Origin

At first, I had good intentions of using the information that came off a highway camera. At this point, I was watching the cameras and thought what happens if we could cut down the number of people watching and response time. If the system would alert if there were a collision anywhere and automatically send coordinates of the wreck. Also, store the recording for later viewing to determine what actually happened.

Result

This one would also fail because there is no budget for this or anything that would keep this running and would implement but where would it run and have to do whole report which I am not going to do if we can monitor it another way.
