Abstract
An apparatus including an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive video frames. The processor may be configured to perform video operations on the video frames to detect objects in the video frames, detect a license plate and a driver of the vehicle based on the objects detected in the video frames, detect a use of an electronic device by the driver and generate a notification signal. The notification signal may comprise data to enable correlating the driver using the electronic device in the vehicle with the license plate. The notification signal may be generated if the use of the electronic device is unauthorized. The processor may comprise a dedicated hardware module configured to perform feature detection to calculate descriptors for determining a likelihood that pixels of the video frames belong to the objects that correspond to the use of the electronic device by the driver.
