Intelligent vehicle systems and control logic for surround view augmentation with object model recognition
Presented are intelligent vehicle systems with networked on-body vehicle cameras with camera-view augmentation capabilities, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles equipped with such systems. A method for operating a motor vehicle includes a system controller receiving, from a network of vehicle-mounted cameras, camera image data containing a target object from a perspective of one or more cameras. The controller analyzes the camera image to identify characteristics of the target object and classify these characteristics to a corresponding model collection set associated with the type of target object. The controller then identifies a 3D object model assigned to the model collection set associated with the target object type. A new “virtual” image is generated by replacing the target object with the 3D object model positioned in a new orientation. The controller commands a resident vehicle system to execute a control operation using the new image.
MOVABLE DEVICE, DISTANCE-MEASURING DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE, AND WAVELENGTH-VARIABLE LASER
A movable device includes: a mechanism configured to drive a movable portion, the mechanism including: a gear including a first protrusion; and a cam in contact with the movable portion; and a driver to drive the mechanism, the driver including: a second protrusion to engage with the first protrusion; and an actuator to cause the second protrusion to reciprocate in response to application of voltage or electric current, to rotate the gear in a predetermined direction, to rotate the cam with the rotation of the gear to drive the movable portion. The first protrusion has a shape in which a downstream portion in the predetermined direction is lower in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction than an upstream portion. The second protrusion has a shape in which a downstream portion in the predetermined direction is higher in the direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction than an upstream portion.
