In an embodiment a vehicle includes a communication module, a display module, an image sensor configured to acquire a front image of the vehicle and a controller configured to determine that the vehicle enters a predetermined range of a destination based on a global positioning system (GPS) signal received through the communication module, compare a feature point of the front image of the vehicle with point cloud map information to determine a first predicted position of the vehicle, based on a difference between the first predicted position and a second predicted position of the vehicle indicated by the GPS signal, determine one of the first predicted position and the second predicted position as a position of the vehicle and control the display module to display an augmented reality (AR) image for performing a route guidance to the destination based on the determined position of the vehicle.

SYSTEM CONFIGURED TO SELECT A PORTION OF A VIRTUAL SCENARIO DURING THE MOVEMENT OF A VEHICLE WITHIN A GEOGRAPHICAL AREA OF INTEREST

The present invention relates to a system (1) configured to select a portion of a virtual scenario (S1v,S2v) during the movement of a vehicle (V) within a geographical area of interest (A). Said system (1) is capable of obtaining information associated with the vehicle (V) regarding the position, the rotation with respect to the x, y, z axes of a reference system associated with the vehicle itself, as well as the heading, and applying this information to a virtual geographical area (Av) associated with said geographical area of interest (A), so that each movement of the vehicle (V) in the geographical area of interest (A) corresponds to a respective movement in the virtual geographical area (Av). In this way, the viewing of a virtual scenario (S1V, S2V) changes according to the movement of the vehicle. The present invention relates also to a vehicle (V) comprising said system, as well as to a method for selecting a portion of a virtual scenario during the movement of a vehicle (V) within a geographical area of interest (A) by means of said system.

Relative surface travelling map projection process

A method to project content from a moving projector. The method includes analyzing an object to identify a projection surface; determining a first position of a projector relative to the projection surface; modifying a first frame of a content for projection onto the projection surface based on the projection surface and the first position of the projector; projecting the first frame of the content from the projector onto the projection surface; determining a second position of the projector relative to the projection surface; modifying a second frame of the content based on the projection surface and the second position; and projecting the second frame of the content from the projector onto the projection surface.

METHOD FOR GENERATING VIRTUAL NAVIGATION ROUTE
20220333945 · 2022-10-20 ·

The present invention provides a method for generating a virtual navigation route, by obtaining multiple navigation points each with a flag data; identifying at least two lanes from a front video data; creating a navigation characteristic image according to the flag data, the navigation points, the front video data, and the at least two lanes, wherein the navigation characteristic image has multiple dotted grids; calculating a probability of a navigation route passing through each dotted grid, and setting the dotted grid with the highest probability calculated in each row of the navigation characteristic image as a first default value; and fitting curves for the grids with the first default value as the navigation route; the navigation route is generated in real time and projected over the front video data using an augmented reality (AR) method, achieving AR effects and navigating with better representation of the traffic.

CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS, DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The present disclosure discloses a control method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium, and relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to technical fields such as intelligent driving, Internet of Vehicles and augmented reality. The control method includes: acquiring an ambient image within a preset range of a projection screen; determining, based on image information of the ambient image, display parameters corresponding to display content, the image information including: image brightness and/or an image color; and controlling the display content to be displayed on the projection screen based on the display parameters. The present disclosure can improve a display effect.

Using augmented reality to present vehicle navigation requirements

In identifying vehicle navigation requirements using augmented reality, one vehicle determines that an event has occurred that concerns operation of the vehicle. The vehicle determines its current location, creates a notification message corresponding to navigation requirements matching the current location and the event, and sends the notification message. Another vehicle receives the notification message. In response, the other vehicle determines its current environment and a correlation between the navigation requirements and the current environment. An augmented reality system of the other vehicle displays alerts for the navigation requirements overlaid on a display of the current environment based on the correlation. I this manner, vehicle drivers are alerted to the navigation requirements applicable in particular locations or jurisdictions.

Augmented reality assisted traffic infrastructure visualization

A method includes receiving a service request from a vehicle within a geographic area, receiving a first set of data from the vehicle comprising a position of the vehicle within the geographic area, a direction that the vehicle is facing, and a field of view for an augmented reality display associated with the vehicle, obtaining historical traffic data associated with the geographic area, identifying one or more traffic infrastructures within the field of view of the augmented reality display based on a map associated with the geographic area, the historical traffic data, the position of the vehicle, and the direction the vehicle is facing, generating an augmented reality image for the one or more traffic infrastructures based on the historical traffic data and the field of view of the augmented reality display, and sending the augmented reality image to the vehicle.

Augmented reality displays for locating vehicles

Augmented reality displays for locating vehicles are disclosed herein. An example method includes determining a current location of a mobile device associated with a user, determining a current location of a vehicle, and generating augmented reality view data that includes a first arrow that identifies a path of travel for the ridehail user towards the vehicle. The path of travel is based on the current location of the mobile device and the current location of the vehicle. The first arrow is combined with a view obtained by a camera of the mobile device or a view obtained by a camera of the vehicle.
