Abstract
A displace device for a vehicle includes a display unit and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive an image of a road in which the vehicle is located and trajectory information providing a trajectory of vehicle movement, detect one or more lanes of the road based on the received image of the road, assign weights to (i) the detected one or more lanes and (ii) the trajectory of vehicle movement, respectively, based on a preset reference value, generate a virtual road image providing a direction based on the assigned weights, and control the display unit to display the generated virtual road image.
Claims14
A display device for a vehicle, the display device comprising:
- a display unit;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive an image of a road in which the vehicle is located and trajectory information providing a trajectory of vehicle movement,
- detect one or more lanes of the road based on the received image of the road,
- assign weights to (i) the detected one or more lanes and (ii) the trajectory of vehicle movement, respectively, based on a preset reference value,
- generate a virtual road image providing a direction based on the assigned weights, and
- control the display unit to display the generated virtual road image,
- wherein the preset reference value comprises a number of the detected one or more lanes,
- wherein the controller is configured to assign, based on the number of the detected one or more lanes, the weights to the detected one or more lanes and the trajectory of vehicle movement,
- wherein the preset reference value further comprises a length of the detected lane in which the vehicle is located,
- wherein the controller is configured to assign, based on the number of the detected one or more lanes and the length of the detected lane, the weights to the detected one or more lanes and the trajectory of vehicle movement,
- wherein the controller is configured to, based on the number of the detected one or more lanes and the length of the detected lane being increased, (i) increase the weight assigned to the detected one or more lanes and (ii) decrease the weight assigned to the trajectory of vehicle movement, and
- wherein the controller is configured to, based on the number of the detected one or more lanes and the length of the detected lane being decreased, (i) decrease the weight assigned to the detected one or more lanes and (ii) increase the weight assigned to the trajectory of vehicle movement.

A method of controlling a display device disposed at a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving an image of a road in which the vehicle is located and trajectory information providing a trajectory of vehicle movement;
- detecting one or more lanes of the road based on the received image of the road;
- assigning weights to (i) the detected one or more lanes and (ii) the trajectory of vehicle movement, respectively, based on a preset reference value;
- generating a virtual road image providing a direction based on the assigned weights;
- and
- displaying the generated virtual road image,
- wherein the preset reference value comprises a number of the detected one or more lanes,
- wherein assigning the weights to the detected one or more lanes and the trajectory of vehicle movement comprises assigning the weights to the detected one or more lanes and the trajectory of vehicle movement based on the number of the detected one or more lanes,
- wherein the preset reference value further comprises a length of the detected lane in which the vehicle is located,
- wherein assigning the weights to the detected one or more lanes and the trajectory of vehicle movement comprises assigning the weights to the detected one or more lanes and the trajectory of vehicle movement based on the number of the detected one or more lanes and the length of the detected lane, and
- wherein assigning the weights to the detected one or more lanes and the trajectory of vehicle movement comprises:
- based on the number of the detected one or more lanes and the length of the detected lane being increased, increasing the weight assigned to the detected one or more lanes and decreasing the weight assigned to the trajectory of vehicle movement, and
- based on the number of the detected one or more lanes and the length of the detected lane being decreased, decreasing the weight assigned to the detected one or more lanes and increasing the weight assigned to the trajectory of vehicle movement.
