Android and Computer Vision in Cars
omputer Vision is definitely made possible on Android using OpenCV. Here is an
android-opencv
demo app [via] which may come handy for programming in C/C++. This further and latest exploration complements the earlier post as car navigation-targeted open source code is absent; what we currently have out there mostly uses maps, not image/video, so there is a gap that would augment an open source car, e.g. with open source navigation that incorporates widely-researched methods. Dashboard Cam, an Android application which is demostrated here, uses GPS and also uses photo overlays, but there is no computer vision/pattern recognition work being done.
