Abstract
The present invention relates to an image output device mounted on a vehicle so as to implement augmented reality, and a control method therefor. At least one from among an autonomous vehicle, a user terminal, and a server of the present invention can be linked with an artificial intelligence module, a drone (unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a device related to a 5G service, and the like.
Claims20
An image output device provided in a vehicle to enable augmented reality, the device comprising:
- a controller configured to receive, in real time, a forward image capturing an image in front of the vehicle,
- search for one or more lanes on which the vehicle is expected to travel in the forward image,
- generate image information including a carpet image indicating the searched one or more lanes in lane units, and
- transmit the image information to an image output unit that outputs visual information, so that the image information is output to the image output device,
- wherein the controller receives location information and route information of another vehicle located within a predetermined distance from the vehicle, and
- generates, when the location information and route information received from the another vehicle satisfy a preset condition, image information that includes a carpet image having a different shape from the carpet image based on the location information and the route information.
An image output device provided in a vehicle to enable augmented reality, the device comprising:
- an image output unit configured to output visual information for enabling the augmented reality;
- a communication unit configured to communicate with other vehicles and a server, and receive, in real time, a forward image capturing an image in front of the vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to control the image output unit to search for one or more lanes on which the vehicle is expected to travel in the forward image, and to output a carpet image indicating the searched one or more lanes in lane units,
- wherein the controller controls the communication unit to receive location information and route information of another vehicle located within a predetermined distance from the vehicle, and
- controls, when the location information and route information received from the another vehicle satisfy a preset condition, the image output unit such that the carpet image is changed based on the location information and the route information.
A method for controlling an image output device provided in a vehicle to enable augmented reality, the method comprising:
- receiving a forward image capturing an image in front of the vehicle;
- searching for one or more lanes on which the vehicle is expected to travel in the forward image;
- receiving location information and route information of another vehicle located within a predetermined distance from the vehicle;
- generating image information that includes a carpet image indicating the searched one or more lanes in lane units using at least one of the forward image, the location information of the another vehicle, and the route information of the another vehicle, and
- transmitting the image information to the image output unit,
- wherein the method further comprises generating, when the location information and route information received from the another vehicle satisfy a preset condition, image information that includes a carpet image having a different shape from the carpet image based on the location information and the route information.
