Abstract

A method for providing augmented reality based driver assistance. includes: receiving, from a plurality of sensors, information corresponding to an environment external to a vehicle; receiving position information indicating a position of the vehicle; generating an environmental model of the environment external to the vehicle; analyzing data associated with the environmental model; identifying information relevant to a current situation of the vehicle; monitoring at least one driver related parameter of a driver of the vehicle; generating actionable information based on the information relevant to the current situation of the vehicle and the at least one driver related parameter; generating an output based on the actionable information; and outputting the actionable information.

Claims (47)

1 . An augmented reality based driver assist system comprising:

a processor;

a memory that includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive, from a plurality of sensors, information corresponding to an environment external to a vehicle;

receive position information indicating a position of the vehicle;

generate an environmental model of the environment external to the vehicle;

analyze data associated with the environmental model;

identify information relevant to a current situation of the vehicle;

monitor at least one driver related parameter of a driver of the vehicle;

generate actionable information based the information relevant to the current situation of the vehicle and the at least one driver related parameter;

generate an output based on the actionable information; and

output the actionable information.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to receive data used to generate the environmental model from a cloud based server.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors includes at least one of an image capturing unit, a radar device, a LIDAR device, and an inertial measurement unit.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to receive the position information from one of a global position system and a vehicle-to-everything communication unit.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one driver related parameter includes at least one of a driver state, emotions, gaze, focus, ability to process and comprehend information, expressions and changes in micro expressions, hand movements, gestures, and head movements.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to output the actionable information to a heads up display of the vehicle.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to output the actionable information to a central information display.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the actionable information includes audible information.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the actionable information includes haptic feedback.

10 . A method for providing augmented reality based driver assistance, the method comprising:

receiving, from a plurality of sensors, information corresponding to an environment external to a vehicle;

receiving position information indicating a position of the vehicle;

generating an environmental model of the environment external to the vehicle;

analyzing data associated with the environmental model;

identifying information relevant to a current situation of the vehicle;

monitoring at least one driver related parameter of a driver of the vehicle;

generating actionable information based on the information relevant to the current situation of the vehicle and the at least one driver related parameter;

generating an output based on the actionable information; and

outputting the actionable information.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising receiving data used to generate the environmental model from a cloud based server.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of sensors includes at least one of an image capturing unit, a radar device, a LIDAR device, and an inertial measurement unit.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein receiving the position information includes receiving the position information from one of a global position system and a vehicle-to-everything communication unit.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the at least one driver related parameter includes at least one of a driver state, emotions, gaze, focus, ability to process and comprehend information, expressions and changes in micro expressions, hand movements, gestures, and head movements.

15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein outputting the actionable information includes outputting the actionable information to a heads up display of the vehicle.

16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein outputting the actionable information includes outputting the actionable information to a central information display.

17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the actionable information includes audible information.

18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the actionable information includes haptic feedback.

19 . A system comprising:

a processor;

a memory that includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

generate an environmental model of an environment external to a vehicle based on at least one environmental measurement corresponding to the environment external to the vehicle and a position of the vehicle;

identify information relevant to a current situation of the vehicle, using the environmental model;

monitor at least one operator related parameter of an operator of the vehicle;

generate actionable information based the information relevant to the current situation of the vehicle and the at least one driver related parameter; and

output the actionable information.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the at least one operator related parameter includes at least one of operator state.
