Abstract
A method for providing an image-based driving assistance guidance in a wearable helmet includes determining whether guidance is required during a driving by a driver, acquiring a driving image of a moving object that the driver drives, generating guidance information for assisting the driving of the driver based on the driving image when it is determined that the guidance is required, and displaying the generated guidance information through the wearable helmet.
Claims21
A method for providing an image-based driving assistance guidance in a wearable helmet, the method comprising:
- determining whether guidance is required during a driving by a driver;
- acquiring a driving image of a moving object that the driver drives;
- generating guidance information for assisting the driving of the driver based on the driving image when it is determined that the guidance is required;
- and
- displaying the generated guidance information through the wearable helmet,
- wherein the generating of the guidance information includes detecting a guidance object from the driving image,
- wherein the displaying of the generated guidance information includes:
- calculating a correlation value between a coordinate system of the moving object and a coordinate system of the wearable helmet;
- and
- determining a mapping position of the generated guidance information on the wearable helmet based on the calculated correlation value, and
- wherein the calculating of the correlation value includes selecting a calculation method based on a shape of the detected guidance object.
An apparatus for providing an image-based driving assistance guidance in a wearable helmet, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor determining whether guidance is required during a driving by a driver;
- the processor acquiring a driving image of a moving object that the driver drives;
- the processor generating guidance information for assisting the driving of the driver based on the driving image when the guidance is required;
- and
- a head-up-display (HUD) displaying the generated guidance information through the wearable helmet,
- wherein the processor includes the processor that detects a guidance object from the driving image,
- wherein the head-up-display (HUD) is configured to calculate a correlation value between a coordinate system of the moving object and a coordinate system of the wearable helmet and to determine a mapping position of the generated guidance information on the wearable helmet based on the calculated correlation value, and
- wherein the head-up-display (HUD) is configured to select a calculation method of the correlation value based on a shape of the detected guidance object.
A wearable helmet comprising:
- a glass portion located in a driver's field of view;
- a processor acquiring a driving image;
- the processor determining whether guidance is required during a driving by the driver;
- the processor generating guidance information for assisting the driving of the driver based on a driving image when the guidance is required;
- and
- a head-up-display (HUD) displaying the generated guidance information on the glass portion,
- wherein the processor includes the processor that detects a guidance object from the driving image,
- wherein the head-up-display (HUD) is configured to calculate a correlation value between a coordinate system of the moving object and a coordinate system of the wearable helmet and to determine a mapping position of the generated guidance information on the wearable helmet based on the calculated correlation value, and
- wherein the head-up-display (HUD) is configured to select a calculation method of the correlation value based on a shape of the detected guidance object.
