The document discusses an augmented navigation system called CDVS (Context-Driven Video Surveillance) that uses computer vision techniques to recognize landmarks and provide additional multimedia information about them to drivers. It notes that the system includes a frontal camera, ECU, and server that matches images to a database and sends associated content to the vehicle's infotainment system. The system aims to improve the driving experience while reducing bandwidth usage and ECU complexity compared to alternative technologies.
