Abstract
Various display systems may benefit from the combination of synthetic imagery from a plurality of sources. For example, display systems for vehicular operations may benefit from combining synthetic imagery with real imagery. A method can include obtaining, by a processor, an interior video image based on a position of a user. The method can also include obtaining, by the processor, an exterior video image based on the position of the user. The method can further include combining the interior video image and the exterior video image to form a combined single view for the user. The method can additionally include providing the combined single view to a display of the user.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor, an interior video image based on a position of a user;
- obtaining, by the processor, an exterior video image based on the position of the user;
- combining the interior video image and the exterior video image to form a combined single view for the user;
- and
- providing the combined single view to a display of the user.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- obtain an interior video image based on a position of a user;
- obtain an exterior video image based on the position of the user;
- combine the interior video image and the exterior video image to form a combined single view for the user;
- and
- provide the combined single view to a display of the user.
A system, comprising:
- a first camera configured to provide a near focus view of surroundings of a user;
- a second camera configured to provide a distance focus view of the surroundings of the user;
- a processor configured to provide a combined view of the surroundings based on the near focus view and the distance focus view;
- and
- a display configured to display the combined view to the user.
