Abstract
Concepts for generating navigation instructions for a driver of a vehicle are presented. One example, includes obtaining a current location of the vehicle, a route for the vehicle from the current location to a target destination, and a captured image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle, the image having a field of view comprising at least part of a field of view of the driver. An object is identified in the captured image. Navigation instructions for the driver are generated based on the current location of the vehicle, the route for the vehicle and the object identified in the captured image.
Claims20
A navigation instructions system for generating navigation instructions for a driver of a vehicle, the system comprising:
- an input interface adapted to receive:
- a current location of the vehicle;
- a route for the vehicle from the current location to a target destination;
- and a captured image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle, the image having a field of view comprising at least part of a field of view of the driver;
- an object identification unit adapted to identify an object in the captured image;
- and
- a navigation unit adapted to generate navigation instructions for the driver based on the current location of the vehicle, the route for the vehicle and the object identified in the captured image.
A computer-implemented method for generating navigation instructions for a driver of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining a current location of the vehicle, a route for the vehicle from the current location to a target destination, and a captured image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle, the image having a field of view comprising at least part of a field of view of the driver;
- identifying an object in the captured image;
- and
- generating navigation instructions for the driver based on the current location of the vehicle, the route for the vehicle and the object identified in the captured image.
A computer program product for generating navigation instructions for a driver of a vehicle, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processing unit to cause the processing unit to perform a method comprising:
- obtaining a current location of the vehicle;
- a route for the vehicle from the current location to a target destination;
- and a captured image of the surrounding environment of the vehicle, the image having a field of view comprising at least part of a field of view of the driver;
- identifying an object in the captured image;
- and
- generating navigation instructions for the driver based on the current location of the vehicle, the route for the vehicle and the object identified in the captured image.
