Abstract
An image processing system adapted to image an area around a vehicle includes an image processor adapted to receive information indicative of an image of an area proximate to the vehicle automatically captured by an image capturing device. The image processor includes logic to analyze the information indicative of the image proximate to the vehicle and automatically determine whether the information indicative of the image of an area proximate to the vehicle is indicative of at least one predetermined environment. This image processing system can be utilized for crash prevention and crash recording. This image processing system can be utilized to identify an increased likelihood of crash and/or the occurrence of a crash and/or to implement crash avoidance and/or crash safety devices.
