Object location indicator system and method

1. A method comprising:

receiving a first image that is captured by a first perception sensor of an infrastructure device, the first image including a first portion of an environment of a subject, the environment being based on a location of a user device associated with the subject;

determining a location of an object relative to the environment of the subject;

receiving a second image that is captured by a second perception sensor of an infrastructure device, the second image including the object and a second portion of the environment, the second portion of the environment non-overlapping the first portion of the environment;

in response to determining the location of the object and the subject, comparing the content of the first image and the second image, determining a void area based on a previously stored 3D model of the environment, combining the first captured image, the second captured image, and a void area not captured in the first image or the second image to generate a modified image that indicates the location of the object relative to the environment of the subject including a void area depicted by dashed lines that correspond to the curb or boundary of the roadways; and

causing the modified image to be presented on at least one display of a second device located near the subject, the second device being different than the user device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the object is a vehicle and the subject is a pedestrian.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modified image indicates a position of the subject relative to the modified image.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the modified image includes at least one of:

adjusting a color of a displayed object;

highlighting the displayed object;

generating an arrow pointing towards the object;

generating a distance indicator indicative of a distance between the subject and the object; and

generating a compass indicator indicative of a direction from the subject to the object.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the location of the object includes at least one of:

receiving global positioning system (GPS) data of the object;

determining a relative location of the object relative to a landmark in the first image or in the second captured image;

receiving a radar data of the object relative to a radar unit; and

receiving a point cloud of the object relative to a lidar unit.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes operating a camera to capture the at least one of the first captured image and the second captured image.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that a distance between the object and the subject is increasing; and in response to determining that the distance is increasing, generating the modified image to convey a notification that the object and subject are moving further apart.

8. A system comprising:

a processor configured to execute an object indicator module that when executed at the processor:

receives a first image that is captured by a first perception sensor of an infrastructure device, the first image including a first portion of an environment of a subject, the environment being based on a location of a user device associated with the subject;

determines a location of an object relative to the environment of the subject;

receives a second image that is captured by a second perception sensor of an infrastructure device, the second image including the object and a second portion of the environment, the second portion of the environment non-overlapping the first portion of the environment;

in response to determining the location of the object and the subject, compares the content of the first image and the second image, determines a void area based on a previously stored 3D model of the environment, and combines the first captured image, the second captured image, and a void area not captured in the first image or the second image to generate a modified image that indicates the location of the object relative to the environment of the subject including a void area depicted by dashed lines that correspond to the curb or boundary of the roadways; and

causes the modified image to be presented on at least one display of a second device located near the subject, the second device being different than the user device.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein at least one instance of the first perception sensor or the second perception sensor includes a camera.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the object is another vehicle and the subject is a pedestrian.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the modified image indicates a position of the subject relative to the modified image.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the object indicator module, when executed at the processor, further: generates the modified image includes at least one of:

adjusts a color of a displayed object;

highlights the displayed object;

generates an arrow pointing towards the object;

generates a distance indicator indicative of a distance between the subject and the object; and

generates a compass indicator indicative of a direction from the subject to the object.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the object indicator module, when executed at the processor, determines the location of the object by at least one of:

receiving global positioning system (GPS) data of the object;

determining a relative location of the object relative to a landmark in the first image or in the second image;

receiving a radar data of the object relative to a radar unit; and

receiving a point cloud of the object relative to a lidar unit.

14. A non-tangible computer readable storage medium that stores instructions that when executed cause a processing device to:

receive a first image that is captured by a first perception sensor of an infrastructure device, the first image including a first portion of an environment of a subject, the environment being based on a location of a user device associated with the subject;

determine a location of an object relative to the environment of the subject;

receives a second image that is captured by a second perception sensor of an infrastructure device, the second image including the object and a second portion of the environment, the second portion of the environment non-overlapping the first portion of the environment;

in response to determining the location of the object and the subject, compare the content of the first image and the second image, determine a void area based on a previously stored 3D model of the environment, and combine the first captured image, the second captured image, and a void area not captured in the first image or the second image to generate a modified image that indicates the location of the object relative to the environment of the subject including a void area depicted by dashed lines that correspond to the curb or boundary of the roadways; and

cause the modified image to be presented on at least one display of a second device located near the subject, the second device being different than the user device.

15. The non-tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the object is a vehicle and the subject is a pedestrian.

16. The non-tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the modified image indicates a position of the subject relative to the modified image.

17. The non-tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the processing device to:

generate the modified image includes at least one of:

adjust a color of a displayed object; highlight the displayed object;

generate an arrow pointing towards the object;

generate a distance indicator indicative of a distance between the subject and the object; and

generate a compass indicator indicative of a direction from the subject to the object.

18. The non-tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the processing device to determine the location of the object by at least one of:
