Abstract
A system and method may generate a more realistic augmented reality (AR) overlay by generating a segmentation image and blending it with one or more other images. The system may generate a segmentation image based on an input image. The segmentation image may be blended with an AR path overlay image to generate an object-masked AR path overlay image. The object-masked AR path overlay image may be blended with the input image to generate an output image.
Claims23
A method, comprising:
- generating a guidance indicator corresponding to a guidance route;
- obtaining an image of the guidance route including an object;
- generating a segmentation image based on the image, the segmentation image having first pixels corresponding to the object in the image;
- modifying a portion of the guidance indicator based on at least a position of the first pixels in the segmentation image by occluding the portion of the guidance indicator from first pixels;
- and
- displaying the modified guidance indicator on a display.
A navigation system comprising one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- generating a guidance indicator corresponding to a guidance route;
- obtaining an image of the guidance route including an object;
- generating a segmentation image based on the image, the segmentation image having first pixels corresponding to the object in the image;
- modifying a portion of the guidance indicator based on at least a position of the first pixels in the segmentation image;
- and
- displaying the modified guidance indicator on a display.
A method for generating a path overlay, the method comprising:
- obtaining an image of the guidance route;
- generating a guidance indicator corresponding to a guidance route, the guidance indicator comprising a plurality of pixels;
- detecting a first object in the path of the guidance indicator;
- generating a segmentation image based on the image, the segmentation image having first pixels corresponding to the first object in the image;
- modifying the guidance indicator by occluding a portion of the guidance indicator by removing or dimming a portion of the plurality of pixels of the guidance indicator;
- and
- displaying the modified guidance indicator on a display.
