A vehicular vision system includes a camera having an imaging array. With the camera attached at an in-cabin side of a vehicle windshield, the imaging array of the camera views through the windshield and forward of the equipped vehicle. Image data captured by the imaging array is provided to and processed at an ECU for at least one driving assist system of the vehicle. The captured image data is saved in volatile memory. Responsive to occurrence of an emergency event, image data captured by the imaging array of the camera that is saved in volatile memory for a first period of time prior to the occurrence of the emergency event is moved to non-volatile memory and image data captured by the imaging array of the camera for a second period of time after the occurrence of the emergency event is saved in non-volatile memory.

Disclosed herein is a system for facilitating managing incidents occurring in areas monitored by low data-rate monitoring devices using the low data-rate monitoring devices, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the system comprises a processor, a device server, and a data visualization device. Further, a camera of a low data-rate monitoring device is configured for capturing video of an area. Further, the processor comprises a machine learning (ML) hardware accelerator configured for performing machine learning processing of the video. Further, the processor is configured for generating processed data. Further, the device server is configured for receiving the processed data based on the transmitting of the processed data from a low data-rate transceiver of the low data-rate monitoring device and transmitting a notification to a device. Further, the data visualization device is configured for visualizing the processed data, identifying an incident in the area, and generating the notification for the incident.

A method and system for locating a high-intensity target light source (26) from an elevated observation location (Po), for instance in an aircraft. The target light source is located at/near an earth surface portion (30) and amongst reference light sources (16, 24, 25) arranged along the surface portion. This target light source emits light (28) with a peak radiant intensity that exceeds the intensity of the reference light sources by at least one order of magnitude. The method includes: acquiring, with an image recording device located at the observation location, images of the light and light emitted the reference light sources; comparing the images and a digital ground map (50) that includes representations of the surface portion and of structures (20, 22) associated with the reference light sources, and estimating a location (Pt) of the target light source relative to the reference light sources, based on the comparison.
