Claim 0:
1. A system for displaying a warning of a presence of a mobile target, said system comprising:
a sensor for obtaining an image of an area;
a data processing unit for receiving said image, said data processing unit comprising an image analysis module for determining said presence of said target when said target is within said area and wherein said data processing unit generates a signal when said target is determined to be present within said area; and
a display unit for receiving said signal and for displaying said warning,
wherein said warning is a visual warning,
wherein said display unit is positioned at a roadway such that said display unit is visible to a driver of a motor vehicle on said roadway,
wherein at least one projected path of the motor vehicle intersects at least one projected target path,
and wherein said image analysis module implements a technique to analyze said image, said technique comprising applying a plurality of bounding boxes with different aspect ratios to said image, thereby producing a plurality of intermediate images, each of said plurality of intermediate images having a different one of said bounding boxes, and analyzing said plurality of intermediate images using a convolutional neural network to thereby predict likelihoods that said target is inside each of said bounding boxes, said likelihoods being used to determine said presence or an absence of said target.
