Abstract
A system performs image stabilization of a display in a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. The system includes at least one display, in particular a monitor, for visualization; at least one sensor, in particular an acceleration sensor; and a computer unit, in particular an on-board computer. The system is designed to detect, by way of the sensor, a shock to the vehicle, in particular as a result of unevenness of the roadway, and to carry out on the basis thereof, a compensation calculation by use of the computer unit and to output a correction signal to the display, in order to stabilize the visualization on the display.
Claims16
A system for performing image stabilization of a display in a vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least one display for visualization;
- at least one sensor;
- a computer unit;
- and
- at least one communication interface which is configured to exchange information in a wireless fashion with a second vehicle and/or with a corresponding remote device, wherein:
- the system is configured to detect, by way of the sensor, a shock to the vehicle,
- the system is further configured to carry out, on the basis of a vehicle attitude of the vehicle caused by the shock to the vehicle, a compensation calculation by way of the computer unit, and to output a correction signal to the display, in order to stabilize the visualization on the display such that the visualization on the display is aligned with respect to a plane that is parallel to a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling,
- the communication interface of the vehicle receives information relating to a second vehicle attitude of the second vehicle from the second vehicle,
- the information relating to the second vehicle attitude of the second vehicle is provided with a position indication which corresponds to a current position of the second vehicle, and
- the computer unit uses the information relating to the second vehicle attitude of the second vehicle to carry out the compensation calculation at a first point in time in order to output the correction signal to the display, in order to stabilize the visualization on the display, as soon as the vehicle has reached the position of the corresponding position indication.
7 more elements
A communication system, comprising:
- a plurality of vehicles, each vehicle having a system for performing image stabilization of a display in the vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least one display for visualization;
- at least one sensor;
- a computer unit;
- at least one communication interface which is configured to exchange information in a wireless fashion with a second vehicle and/or with a corresponding remote device;
- wherein the system is configured to detect, by way of the sensor, a shock to the vehicle, and
- wherein the system is further configured to carry out, on the basis of a vehicle attitude of the vehicle caused by the shock to the vehicle, a compensation calculation by way of the computer unit, and to output a correction signal to the display, in order to stabilize the visualization on the display such that the visualization on the display is aligned with respect to a plane that is parallel to a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling;
- and
- one or more remote devices in a form of a server and/or a cloud, wherein
- the communication system permits information relating to unevennesses of the roadway or further parameters relating to shocks to be exchanged between the plurality of vehicles and/or the one or more remote devices,
- the communication interface of the vehicle receives information relating to a second vehicle attitude of the second vehicle from the second vehicle,
- the information relating to the second vehicle attitude of the second vehicle is provided with a position indication which corresponds to a current position of the second vehicle, and
- the computer unit uses the information relating to the second vehicle attitude of the second vehicle to carry out the compensation calculation at a first point in time in order to output the correction signal to the display, in order to stabilize the visualization on the display, as soon as the vehicle has reached the position of the corresponding position indication.
10 more elements
A method for performing image stabilization of a display in a vehicle, comprising:
- sensing, by way of at least one vehicle-internal sensor, a shock to the vehicle as a result of an unevenness of a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling;
- receiving, via a communication interface of the vehicle, information relating to a second vehicle attitude of a second vehicle from the second vehicle, wherein the information relating to the second vehicle attitude of the second vehicle is provided with a position indication which corresponds to a current position of the second vehicle;
- carrying out, via an onboard-computer and on the basis of a vehicle attitude of the vehicle caused by the shock to the vehicle, a compensation calculation in order to stabilize a visualization on the display such that the visualization on the display is aligned with respect to a plane that is parallel to the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling, wherein the onboard-computer uses the information relating to a second vehicle attitude of a second vehicle to carry out the compensation calculation at a first point in time in order to output a correction signal to the display, in order to stabilize the visualization on the display, as soon as the vehicle has reached the position of the corresponding position indication;
- and
- displaying the visualization on the display.
2 more elements
A computer product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program code that, when executed, carry out the acts of:
- sensing, by way of at least one vehicle-internal sensor, a shock to the vehicle as a result of an unevenness of a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling;
- receiving, via a communication interface of the vehicle, information relating to a second vehicle attitude of a second vehicle from the second vehicle, wherein the information relating to the second vehicle attitude of the second vehicle is provided with a position indication which corresponds to a current position of the second vehicle;
- carrying out, via an onboard-computer and on the basis of a vehicle attitude of the vehicle caused by the shock to the vehicle, a compensation calculation in order to stabilize a visualization on a display in the vehicle such that the visualization on the display is aligned with respect to a plane that is parallel to the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling,
- wherein the onboard-computer uses the information relating to a second vehicle attitude of a second vehicle to carry out the compensation calculation at a first point in time in order to output a correction signal to the display, in order to stabilize the visualization on the display, as soon as the vehicle has reached the position of the corresponding position indication;
- and
- displaying the visualization on the display.
