DYNAMIC INTERIOR COLOR PALETTE
An interior color control system for a vehicle including a sensor configured to capture an image of a scene exterior to the vehicle, a display with configurable color, and a controller in communication with the sensor and interior display. The controller may be configured to determine a first set of color features based on the captured image, and a second set of color features based on the first set of color features, for the interior display.
1 . An interior color control system for a vehicle, comprising at least:
a sensor configured to capture an image of a scene exterior to the vehicle;
an interior display with configurable color; and
a controller in communication with the sensor and interior display, and configured to:
determine a first set of color features based on the captured image; and
determine a second set of color features for the interior display based on the first set of color features.
2 . The control system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor device includes at least one of a radar, a LIDAR, and a camera.
3 . The control system of claim 1 , wherein the display device includes at least one of a vehicle display and a display of a mobile device inside the vehicle.
4 . The control system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine a location of the vehicle; and associate the second set of color features with the location.
5 . The control system of claim 4 , wherein the location is determined based on at least the captured image or a GPS signal.
6 . The control system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine a color palette for the interior display based on the second set of color features.
7 . The control system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of color features includes dominant colors in the captured image.
8 . The control system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to adjust interior lighting of the vehicle based on the first set of color features.
9 . The control system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to adjust the second set of color features based on a time of a day.
10 . The control system of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine a set of landscape features based on the captured image; and determine the second set of color features based additionally on the set of landscape features.
11 . A method for controlling the interior color of a vehicle, comprising steps of:
capturing an image of a scene exterior to the vehicle;
determining a first set of color features based on the captured image; and
determining a second set of color features for the interior display based on the first set of color features.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the image is captured with at least one of a radar, a LIDAR, and a camera.
13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the second set of color features is used in at least one of a vehicle display and a display of a mobile device inside the vehicle.
14 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising steps of determining a location of the vehicle; and associate the second set of color features with the location.
15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising steps of determining a color palette for the interior display based on the second set of color features.
16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the first set of color features includes dominant colors in the captured image.
17 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising steps of adjusting interior lighting of the vehicle based on the first set of color features.
18 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising steps of adjusting the second set of color features based on a time of a day.
19 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform a method of controlling the interior color of a vehicle, the method comprising:
capturing an image of a scene exterior to the vehicle;
determining a first set of color features based on the captured image; and
determining a second set of color features for the interior display based on the first set of color features.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 19 , wherein the image is captured with at least one of a radar, a LIDAR, and a camera.
