7. CONCLUSION
This paper describes the design, implementation and evaluation
of CarSafe and presents results from a small-scale deployment of
the app in the wild. The performance of the overall system looks
very promising given the real challenges of different drivers, context
and road conditions. Our future plans are to improve the current
prototype with the goals of advancing the UI design
(which was not a focus of this paper) in addition to gaining further improvements
in the real-time performance of the CarSafe classification
pipelines. We also plan to release CarSafe on Google Play
to get further input from the broader app user community. Finally,
we plan to develop a set of open APIs enabling full access to the
front and rear cameras and will start by studying more experimental
open source platforms, such as, Tizen . Our goal is to stimulate
interest in dual camera sensing apps to encourage major platform
vendors to solve this problem.
