  • Publication number: 20230222617
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of selecting an accident image by using speed profile analysis, which can sufficiently secure an available capacity of a storage medium, can reduce the amount of transmission data and a fee therefor, and can prevent a loss of unnecessary management expenses, by selecting an actual accident image by using speed profile analysis before and after the occurrence of an impact event and deleting, from the storage medium, an image having a grade determined to have a low accident possibility or changing a state of the image into an overwritable state or taking measures for preventing the transmission of the image to a cloud server.
