20220164958 · 2022-05-26 ·

A camera has a field of view encompassing a portion of an environment outside of a motor vehicle and a portion of an environment inside a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the camera and receives captured images from the camera. The electronic processor separates first extracted images from the captured images. The first extracted images correspond to the portion of the environment outside of the motor vehicle. The electronic processor transmits the first extracted images to a first software application for monitoring the environment outside of the motor vehicle. The electronic processor separates second extracted images from the captured images. The second extracted images correspond to the portion of the environment inside a passenger compartment. The electronic processor transmits the second extracted images to a second software application for monitoring human beings in the passenger compartment.
