Abstract:
1. An event data recorder providing traffic monitoring and warning functions within a safe range and disposed on a two-wheel vehicle comprising: a main body that is a solid body built in with a control unit; the control unit having an object detection unit, an object recognition unit, and a video/audio compression module; the object detection unit detects whether there is an object in an image and the object recognition unit recognizes types of the object; a plurality of image capture units respectively externally connected to the main body for capturing an image outside the vehicle, generating an image signal and inputting the image signal into the control unit of the main body; a vehicle signal capture unit that is externally connected to the main body for getting operation information of the vehicle, generating a vehicle signal and inputting the vehicle signal to the control unit of the main body; a sound capture unit that is connected to the control unit of the main body for recording engine sounds and environmental sounds of the vehicle in movement, generating a sound signal, and inputting the sound signal to the video/audio compression module; a storage unit that is built in the main body and is used for storage of data, images and sounds processed by the control unit of the main body; and a warning unit that is connected to the control unit of the main body; wherein the video/audio compression module of the control unit of the main body performs recording and compression of the image signal of the image capture unit and the sound signal of the sound capture unit respectively; wherein the control unit of the main body detects the object on front/rear of the vehicle and recognizes types and movement of the object according to the image signal; then together with the vehicle signal, the control unit performs data processing and image recognition so as to generate a control signal and check whether driving safety is affected; once the driving safety is affected, the warning unit outputs a warning signal according to the control signal for executing a warning function; and wherein the sound capture unit is built in the main body or is connected to a sound capture unit port on the main body by a cable and is connected to the control unit of the main body for recording engine sounds and environmental sounds of the vehicle in movement and sending the sounds recorded to the video/audio compression module to be compressed; the sound capture unit operates synchronously with each image capture unit.
