Abstract
A method for determining processed image data about a surround field of a vehicle includes a step of combining a map information item with a position and an orientation of the vehicle and with an image of the surround field acquired by a surround-field monitoring device of the vehicle, in order to obtain a position-specific image of the surround field. In addition, the method includes a step of processing the position-specific image so as to include at least one symbol that is assigned to a classified object in the position-specific image, in order to determine the processed image data.
Claims11
A method for determining processed image data of a surround field of a host vehicle, comprising:
- combining a map information item with a position of the vehicle, an orientation of the vehicle, and an image of the surround field acquired by a surround-field monitoring device of the vehicle, in order to obtain a position-specific image of the surround field;
- and
- processing the position-specific image so as to (i) include at least one symbol which is assigned to a classified object external to the host vehicle in the position-specific image, wherein the classified object is one of a physical obstacle or a road sign, and (ii) adapt an orientation and scaling of the symbol assigned to the classified object in the position-specific image to correspond to a true-to-scale image, in order to determine the processed image data for display.
An information system for determining processed image data about a surround field of a host vehicle, comprising:
- a device for combining a map information item with a position of the vehicle, an orientation of the vehicle, and an image of the surround field acquired by a surround-field monitoring device of the vehicle, in order to obtain a position-specific image of the surround field;
- and
- a device for processing the position-specific image so as to (i) include at least one symbol which is assigned to a classified object external to the host vehicle in the position-specific image, wherein the classified object is one of a physical obstacle or a road sign, and (ii) adapt an orientation and scaling of the symbol assigned to the classified object in the position-specific image to correspond to a true-to-scale image, in order to determine the processed image data for display.
A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium storing a computer program having program codes which, when executed on a computer, perform a method for determining processed image data of a surround field of a host vehicle, the method comprising:
- combining a map information item with a position of the vehicle, an orientation of the vehicle, and an image of the surround field acquired by a surround-field monitoring device of the vehicle, in order to obtain a position-specific image of the surround field;
- and
- processing the position-specific image so as to (i) include at least one symbol which is assigned to a classified object external to the host vehicle in the position-specific image, wherein the classified object is one of a physical obstacle or a road sign, and (ii) adapt an orientation and scaling of the symbol assigned to the classified object in the position-specific image to correspond to a true-to-scale image, in order to determine the processed image data for display.
