Systems and methods for utilizing machine learning to identify vehicle surroundings, route conditions, and points of interest

An in-vehicle device may receive an alert that includes first vehicle identifying a first vehicle and first location data identifying a first location, and may determine whether a second location of the in-vehicle device is in a geographic area associated with the first location. The in-vehicle device may cause, when the second location is determined to be in the geographic area associated with the first location, images or video to be captured of second vehicles, and may process the captured images or video, with a machine learning model, to determine second vehicle data in real time relative to capturing the images or video. The in-vehicle device may determine whether the second vehicle data substantially includes the first vehicle data, and may provide a notification to a device when the second vehicle data substantially includes the first vehicle data.

Solar-Powered Wildlife Camera
20220377290 · 2022-11-24 ·

The solar-powered wildlife camera is a high-quality type of camera trap designed to operate by efficient use of power during the day or the night. The solar cell at the top of the device makes such efficiency possible. Said solar cell works in tandem with a lithium battery on the bottom of the device, drawing on its energy when necessary, and charging it when the solar cell generates excess energy. The solar-powered wildlife camera uses an infrared light and thermal trigger to activate the camera when motion is detected or when a heat signature is detected. Therefore, the camera is enabled to capture footage of wildlife during dark hours in addition to hours during the day. The camera device has strap mounts on its posterior to hold it upright. Alternatively, the bottom anchor can be used to mount on a post.
