Abstract
An ego-vehicle for displaying a behavior of a target object in a spatio-temporal manner may include one or more processors. One or more memory modules are communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. A display is communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. One or more sensors are communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. Machine readable instructions are stored in the one or more memory modules and cause the one or more processors to display on the display an object indicator associated with a position of a target object relative to the ego-vehicle, wherein the object indicator depicts a spatio-temporal patterning indicating the behavior of the target object.
Claims20
An ego-vehicle for displaying a behavior of a target object in a spatio-temporal manner, the ego-vehicle comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- a display communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- one or more sensors communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- and
- machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules that cause the one or more processors to display on the display an object indicator associated with a position of the target object relative to the ego-vehicle, wherein the object indicator depicts a spatio-temporal patterning indicating the behavior of the target object.
A system for displaying a behavior of a target object in a spatio-temporal manner relative to the system, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- a display communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- one or more sensors communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- and
- machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules that cause the one or more processors to display on the display an object indicator associated with a position of the target object relative to the system, wherein the object indicator depicts a spatio-temporal patterning indicating the behavior of the target object relative to the system.
A method of displaying a behavior of a target object in a spatio-temporal manner relative to an ego-vehicle comprising:
- detecting, with one or more sensors, the target object in a vicinity of the ego-vehicle;
- monitoring a speed, direction of travel, and position of the target object relative to the ego-vehicle;
- displaying, with one or more processors, an object indicator associated with the position of the target object relative to the ego-vehicle on a display, wherein the object indicator depicts a spatio-temporal patterning indicating the behavior of the target object;
- and
- adjusting the spatio-temporal patterning of the object indicator on the display to correspond with the behavior of the target object within the vicinity of the ego-vehicle.
