Abstract
A system for efficiently sensing collision threats has an image sensor configured to capture an image of a scene external to a vehicle. The system is configured to then identify an area of the image that is associated with homogeneous sensor values and is thus likely devoid of collision threats. In order to reduce the computational processing required for detecting collision threats, the system culls the identified area from the image, thereby conserving the processing resources of the system.
