US 12,709,157 B1 · Projector-based blindspot/distraction mitigation

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for using a mitigation system to mitigate effects caused by blind spots and various distractions to a user inside a vehicle. In particular, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for projecting images obtained by cameras on projection areas of the vehicle to provide notifications for the user. The mitigation system receives image data from the cameras and processes the image data to enhance the identification of an object, reduce image distortions when projected on the projection areas, reduce distractions in the image, and so on. The mitigation system processes the image data obtained by the camera based on relevant data obtained from a variety of data sources. The mitigation system sends the processed image data to projectors to project on the projection areas.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

one or more cameras;
one or more projectors;
and
a computing system, comprising one or more processors configured to:
receive an enable signal to enable projecting an image on a projection area of a vehicle using the one or more projectors;
in response to receiving the enable signal, process image data received from the one or more cameras to generate processed image data, by:
identifying a curvature of the projection area;
predicting an offsetting adaptation to offset a projection artifact of the projection area due to the curvature;
and
generating the processed image data using the offsetting adaptation;
and
send the processed image data to the one or more projectors for projecting the image on the projection area.
