Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing augmented reality are provided and include a controller that is configured to match a head up display area of a windshield and an input image and determine an area in which an information amount is a minimum in the matched image as a position of a display window to display virtual information. In addition, the controller is configured to output virtual information at the determined position.
Claims14
A method of providing augmented reality of an augmented reality providing apparatus mounted within a vehicle, the method comprising:
- matching, by a controller, a head up display area of a windshield and an input image;
- determining, by the controller, an area in which an information amount is a minimum in the matched image as a position of a display window to display virtual information;
- and
- outputting, by the controller, virtual information at the determined position.
An augmented reality providing apparatus mounted within a vehicle, comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- capture an input image positioned at a front side of a driver using an imaging device;
- match the input image and a head up display area of a windshield;
- determine whether a marker is detected in a matched image;
- determine an area in which an information amount is a minimum in the matched image as a position of a display window to display virtual information that corresponds to the marker, when the marker is detected;
- and
- output an augmented reality screen in which virtual information is displayed at the determined position.
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a controller, the computer readable medium comprising:
- program instructions that control an imaging device to capture an input image positioned at a front side of a driver;
- program instructions that match the input image and a head up display area of a windshield;
- program instructions that determine whether a marker is detected in a matched image;
- program instructions that determine an area in which an information amount is a minimum in the matched image as a position of a display window to display virtual information that corresponds to the marker, when the marker is detected;
- and
- program instructions that output an augmented reality screen in which virtual information is displayed at the determined position.
