  • Publication number: 20180114336
    Abstract: A positioning method includes the steps of: capturing a positioning image by an image capturing device, determining a pixel coordinate of an object in the positioning image, and determining a global positioning system coordinate of the object according to the pixel coordinates and a transformation matrix. An image capturing device includes a camera configured to capture a positioning image, a storage medium storing with a transformation matrix, and a processor electrically connected to the camera and the storage medium respectively. The processor is configured to determine a pixel coordinate of an object in the positioning image and determine a global positioning system coordinate associated with the object according to the pixel coordinate and the transformation matrix.

  • Patent number: 9399463
    Abstract: An automatic tracking collision avoidance method has following steps: taking images in front of an origin vehicle by at least two photograph units; the images delivering to a calculation assembly, to transform the images from three primary colors images to grey images; having a relative vehicle speed of the front vehicle corresponded to the original vehicle according to the grey images; and according to the grey images the calculation assembly having a relative vehicle speed that the front vehicle corresponded to the original vehicle; the calculation assembly having a safe distance according to the relative vehicle speed, if the safe distance is great than a distance that between the original vehicle and the front vehicle, an alarm module generating an alert signal.
