Method and System for Providing At Least One Image Captured By a Scene Camera of a Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18333943 Titled 'Method and System for Providing At Least One Image Captured By a Scene Camera of a Vehicle'

Simplified Explanation

This disclosure describes a method for providing images of real objects captured by scene cameras mounted on a vehicle. The method involves determining the camera poses of the scene cameras relative to a reference coordinate system associated with the vehicle. User attention data captured by an information capturing device is also provided, which includes information about the user's attention. An attention direction is determined based on the user attention data, relative to the reference coordinate system. Using the attention direction and the camera poses, the method identifies which scene camera should be used to capture images of the real objects. Finally, the method provides the images captured by the selected scene camera.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a method of providing at least one image of at least one real object captured by at least one scene camera of a plurality of scene cameras mounted on a vehicle. The method includes: providing camera poses of respective scene cameras of the plurality of scene cameras relative to a reference coordinate system associated with the vehicle, providing user attention data related to a user captured by an information capturing device, providing at least one attention direction relative to the reference coordinate system from the user attention data, determining at least one of the scene cameras among the plurality of scene cameras according to the at least one attention direction and the respective camera pose of the at least one of the scene cameras, and providing at least one image of at least one real object captured by the at least one of the scene cameras.
