Folks, please chime in on this idea:
Some digital cameras are able to image light in part of the infrared specturm (try shooting a beam from your remote control at your cell phone's camera).
Because cameras are able to dectect infrared light, why not make infrared as a part of the solutions to driver assistance and safety features?
The prosals are nothing new, but I believe these applications may be not utilized at this point.
My specific proposals are:
A. Passive infrared emission by way of chemical doping of automotive paint; OR
B. The use of active infrared emitters, like tail lights; OR
C. The application of infrared reflective tape on all sides of vehicles (such that turned over vehicles are visible); OR
D. Applying infrared imaging as part of the computer imaging based driving algorithim (no hardware changes).
Do any of these ideas have merit?
I do not use social media, maybe this merits exposure to a larger community to chime in on the concept?
