  • Patent number: 12573211
    Abstract: In some implementations, a video system may receive, from a camera mounted to a vehicle, a video of a portion of a road on which the vehicle is traveling. The video system may extract, from each frame of a plurality of frames associated with the video of the road, a frame strip to form a plurality of frame strips, wherein each frame strip extends a predetermined width in a horizontal direction and a predetermined height in a vertical direction. The video system may form, from each frame strip, a single-pixel strip, to form a plurality of single-pixel strips. The video system may compile the plurality of single-pixel strips to form a motion profile. The video system may determine, using machine learning, one of: at least one driving maneuver associated with the vehicle based on the motion profile, or that no driving maneuvers are present in the motion profile.
