DISPLAY SYSTEM, ROAD SURFACE UNDULATION ESTIMATION DEVICE, AND DISPLAY METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18598921 titled 'DISPLAY SYSTEM, ROAD SURFACE UNDULATION ESTIMATION DEVICE, AND DISPLAY METHOD
The patent application describes a display system that estimates road surface undulation and determines the superimposing position for displaying content on a foreground.
- Road surface undulation estimator estimates undulation of a road surface.
- Superimposing position determiner decides where content should be displayed on the foreground.
- Display shows the content superimposed on the foreground at the determined position.
- Road surface undulation estimator obtains undulation information based on images captured by an imager on a mobile body.
- Estimator calculates undulation based on road surface undulation information that meets predetermined conditions.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for enhancing driver assistance systems. - Augmented reality applications for navigation and information display.
Problems Solved: - Improves accuracy of displaying content on uneven road surfaces. - Enhances user experience by providing relevant information in real-time.
Benefits: - Increased safety on the road by accurately displaying information. - Enhanced user experience with augmented reality features.
Commercial Applications: "Enhanced Augmented Reality Display System for Vehicles: Improving Safety and User Experience"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the superimposing position for displaying content? 2. What are the key benefits of using this technology in the automotive industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display system includes: a road surface undulation estimator that estimates undulation of a road surface; a superimposing position determiner that determines, based on the estimated undulation, a superimposing position at which content is to be displayed by being superimposed on a foreground; and a display that displays the content with the content superimposed on the foreground at the determined superimposing position. The road surface undulation estimator includes: a road surface undulation information obtainer that obtains road surface undulation information items indicating the undulation at points and being calculated based on images generated when an imager provided to a mobile body performs image capturing a plurality of times; a determiner that determines whether or not the obtained road surface undulation information items each satisfy a predetermined condition; and an estimator that estimates the undulation based on road surface undulation information items which have been determined to satisfy the predetermined condition.
