Vehicle Detection by MobilEye

The Mobileye Vehicle Detection (VD) algorithms recognizes all motorised vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles and trucks in day and night time conditions as a stand alone vision system and was developed and tested on many tens of thousands of hours of driving from all over the world. It accurately estimates the range to preceding vehicle, comparably to radar based vehicle detection. Vehicle Detection provides the core detection for multiple functions - Forward Collision Warning & pre-crash mitigation, Headway Monitoring & Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

21:9 Monitors

Widescreen is dead; long live Cinema 21:9. The Philips 56PFL9954H is a daring experiment in screen dimensions, designed to maximise the cinematic potential of hi-def discs while rewriting the rules on home entertainment. There's a gunwale-bursting array of features at your disposal, the most obvious of which is that extra-wide screen. It is 21:9 (or 2.39:1, if you prefer), enabling it to display movies in the true-cinema aspect ratio in which most will have been shot, as opposed to the 16:9 compromise that has been the norm on standard widescreen televisions.
