Abstract
The present invention relates to a navigation device. The navigation device is arranged to dynamically generate multidimensional video signals based on location and directional information of the navigation device from 3D data set. The navigation device is further arranged to superimpose navigation directions and/or environment information about surrounding objects onto the generated multidimensional view.
Claims16
A navigation system comprising:
- a location determination module for determining a location of a user of the navigation system, where location information is used as a parameter for view generation;
- an orientation module for determining directional orientation of said user, where orientation information is used as a parameter for view generation module;
- a view generation module for outputting a multidimensional video signal generated from a source 3D data set for the current location and orientation of said user,
- wherein, said 3D data set contains both spatial and color information,
- wherein said 3D data set is actively or passively generated, from plurality of 2D images or at least one 3D image,
- wherein said 3D data set is generated in a real-time or prerecorded mode, and
- a display module to display said generated multi-dimensional view overlaid with environment information in the vicinity of said user or navigation instructions.

A method for navigation comprising:
- obtaining location information from a location determination module, where location information is used as a parameter for a view generation module;
- obtaining directional orientation information from an orientation module, where orientation information is used as a parameter for said view generation module;
- generating a multidimensional video signal for outputting a multidimensional video signal generated from a source 3D data set for the current location and orientation of a user,
- wherein, said 3D data set contains both spatial and color information,
- wherein said 3D data set is actively or passively generated, from plurality of 2D images or at least one 3D images,

A navigation system comprising:
- an environment sensing module to determine environment information in the vicinity of a user, where output of environment sensing module is used by localization process to determine location or directional orientation of said user;
- a view generation module for outputting a multidimensional video signal generated from a prerecorded source 3D data set and corresponding to said user's current location and directional orientation of said user;
- wherein, said 3D data set contains both spatial and color information,
- wherein said 3D data set is actively or passively generated, from plurality of 2D images or at least one 3D images, and
- a display module to display said generated multi-dimensional view overlaid with navigation instructions or environment information in the vicinity of said user.
