Abstract
A system and method for selectively augmenting information in a vehicle includes receiving a scene information from at least one sensor. identifying a region of interest from the scene information, analyzing the scene information to determine whether the region of interest is occluded, and augmenting the region of interest using a display system when the region of interest is occluded. The region of interest includes an object identified within the scene information that is classified as related to vehicle safety.
Claims20
A method for selectively augmenting information in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a scene information from at least one sensor;
- identifying a region of interest from the scene information;
- analyzing the scene information to determine whether the region of interest is occluded;
- and
- augmenting the region of interest using a display system when the region of interest is occluded.
A system for selectively augmenting information in a vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is used to acquire information about an environment surrounding the vehicle;
- a display system located in view of an occupant;
- and
- a controller in electrical communication with the at least one sensor and the display system, wherein the controller is programed to:
- receive a scene information from the at least one sensor;
- identify a region of interest from the scene information;
- analyze the scene information to determine whether the region of interest is occluded;
- and
- augment the region of interest, using the display system, when the region of interest is occluded.
A computer for a selective augmentation system of a vehicle, the system notifying an occupant of the vehicle about an occluded region of interest, the system further including an at least one sensor for acquiring information about an environment surrounding the vehicle, the system further including a display system, located in view of an occupant, for displaying augmented regions of interested to the occupant, the system further including a controller in electrical communication with the at least one sensor and the display system, for augmenting the region of interest, the controller comprising:
- at least one processor electrically communicating with the at least one sensor and the display system;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions such that the at least one processor is programmed to:
- receive a scene information from the at least one sensor;
- identify a region of interest from the scene information;
- analyze the scene information to determine whether the region of interest is occluded;
- and
- augment the region of interest using the display system when the region of interest is occluded.
