DEVICE AND METHOD WITH VEHICLE BLIND SPOT VISUALIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18097771 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD WITH VEHICLE BLIND SPOT VISUALIZATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that uses images captured by a vehicle's camera and traveling information to determine the movement of the vehicle and update the camera's parameters. It also visualizes the blind spot of the camera based on the vehicle's roll and pitch information.
- The device analyzes two images captured at different times by the vehicle's camera.
- It determines the movement of the vehicle between the two time points using the camera images and traveling information.
- The device calculates a transformation matrix to convert the camera's coordinate system to the vehicle's coordinate system.
- It updates the camera's parameters based on the roll and pitch information acquired from the transformation matrix.
- The device visualizes the blind spot of the camera using the updated parameters and transformation matrix.
Potential Applications
- Automotive industry: This technology can be used in vehicles to improve camera-based blind spot detection systems.
- Autonomous vehicles: The device can enhance the perception capabilities of autonomous vehicles by accurately updating camera parameters and visualizing blind spots.
Problems Solved
- Accurate blind spot detection: By updating camera parameters based on vehicle movement and orientation, the device can provide more accurate blind spot visualization.
- Improved perception in autonomous vehicles: The technology solves the problem of accurately perceiving the vehicle's surroundings by updating camera parameters and visualizing blind spots.
Benefits
- Enhanced safety: Accurate blind spot visualization helps drivers and autonomous vehicles avoid collisions and improve overall road safety.
- Improved situational awareness: By visualizing blind spots, the device enhances the driver's or autonomous vehicle's understanding of its surroundings, reducing the risk of accidents.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes: a processor configured to: based on two images captured at two different time points by a camera of a vehicle that is traveling and traveling information of the vehicle, determine a first transformation matrix of a camera coordinate system comprising a rotation matrix and a translation matrix for a movement of the vehicle between the two time points; transform the first transformation matrix into a second transformation matrix of a vehicle coordinate system; update a parameter of the camera to apply the movement of the vehicle to the parameter of the camera, based on either one or both of roll information and pitch information of the vehicle acquired from the rotation matrix; and visualize a blind spot of the camera based on the either one or both of the roll information and the pitch information, and based on the updated parameter and the second transformation matrix.
