"Situational Awareness Fault-Finder Extension" -- Software to track and notify of rearward, vehicular collisions

Purpose

This software is was intended to be a safety device for automobiles and motorcycles. It tracks vehicular movement behind a vehicle, and alerts with sound on an impending collision.

Development and running

Mac / OS X

You will need brew in order to install opencv.

Install openCV 2:

brew install opencv@2 --with-ffmpeg -v
brew link opencv@2 --force

The core of the project is in the safe folder. Compile the code: cd ./safe make clean && make or make clean && make debug (the latter can be used with GDB)

Run the binary:

With a video file: ./safe -v <video_file> (TODO: find somewhere to host sample videos. I can distribute these on request)

or with your webcam: ./safe -c <index_of_your_webcam> (usually 0 unless you have multiple webcams)
