System and method for low visibility driving

A method for low visibility driving includes receiving image data from a visible-light camera. The image data includes an image of an area in front of a vehicle. The method includes receiving sensor data from an object-detecting sensor. The object-detecting sensor is configured to detect an object in front of the vehicle. The sensor data includes information about the object in front of the vehicle. The method further includes detecting the object in front of the vehicle using the sensor data received from the object-detecting sensor and determining whether the visible-light camera is unable to detect the object in front of the vehicle that was detected by the object-detecting sensor. The method further includes commanding a display to generate a virtual image using the sensor data to identify the object in front of the vehicle.

The processing device may send an output to the display. The output may include a graphical object associated with a first step of a user-implemented procedure. The processing device may receive an input from the input device. The input may indicate a progress on an execution of the first step by an operator. The processing device may determine whether the input indicates that the operator has completed the first step. The processing device may determine whether the first step is a final step in the user-implemented procedure. The processing device may identify a second step in the user-implemented procedure when the input indicates that the operator has completed the first step and the first step is not a final step.

METHODS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-ASSISTED INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT USING MIXED REALITY SYSTEMS
20230214983 · 2023-07-06 ·

A smart, human-centered technique that uses artificial intelligence and mixed reality to accelerate essential tasks of the inspectors such as defect measurement, condition assessment and data processing. For example, a bridge inspector can analyze some remote cracks located on a concrete pier, estimate their dimensional properties and perform condition assessment in real-time. The inspector can intervene in any step of the analysis/assessment and correct the operations of the artificial intelligence. Thereby, the inspector and the artificial intelligence will collaborate/communicate for improved visual inspection. This collective intelligence framework can be integrated in a mixed reality supported see-through headset or a hand-held device with the availability of sufficient hardware and sensors. Consequently, the methods reduce the inspection time and associated labor costs while ensuring reliable and objective infrastructure evaluation. Such methods offer contributions to infrastructure inspection, maintenance, management practice, and safety for the inspection personnel.
