Augmented reality navigational overlay

1. A method, comprising:

generating a guidance indicator corresponding to a guidance route;

obtaining an image of the guidance route including an object;

generating a segmentation image based on the image, the segmentation image having first pixels corresponding to the object in the image;

modifying a portion of the guidance indicator based on at least a position of the first pixels in the segmentation image by occluding the portion of the guidance indicator from first pixels; and

displaying the modified guidance indicator on a display.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the segmentation image is performed by applying semantic segmentation on the image.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the image comprises an image of a roadway, and wherein the at least one object comprises at least one object on the roadway.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein generating the guidance indicator associated with the navigational guidance route comprises generating an augmented-reality path overlay image including the guidance indicator.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein modifying the guidance indicator based on the at least one object in the image comprises modifying pixels in the augmented-reality path overlay image that spatially correspond to the first pixels in the segmentation image.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein displaying the modified guidance indicator in association with the navigational guidance route comprises generating an output image by combining the image with the augmented-reality path overlay image having the modified guidance indicator.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising displaying the output image on a display of a mobile electronic device.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein displaying the modified guidance indicator in association with the navigational guidance route comprises projecting the augmented-reality path overlay image having the modified guidance indicator onto a windshield of a vehicle.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the navigational guidance route based on a global positioning system location and map information.

10. A navigation system comprising one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

generating a guidance indicator corresponding to a guidance route;

obtaining an image of the guidance route including an object;

generating a segmentation image based on the image, the segmentation image having first pixels corresponding to the object in the image;

modifying a portion of the guidance indicator based on at least a position of the first pixels in the segmentation image; and

displaying the modified guidance indicator on a display.

11. The navigation system of claim 10 , wherein generating the segmentation image is performed by applying semantic segmentation on the image.

12. The navigation system of claim 11 , wherein the image comprises an image of a roadway, and wherein the at least one object comprises at least one object on the roadway.

13. The navigation system of claim 12 , wherein generating the guidance indicator associated with the navigational guidance route comprises generating an augmented-reality path overlay image including the guidance indicator.

14. The navigation system of claim 13 , wherein modifying the guidance indicator based on the at least one object in the image comprises modifying pixels in the augmented-reality path overlay image that spatially correspond to the first pixels in the segmentation image.

15. The navigation system of claim 14 , wherein displaying the modified guidance indicator in association with the navigational guidance route comprises generating an output image by combining the image with the augmented-reality path overlay image having the modified guidance indicator.

16. The navigation system of claim 15 , further comprising instructions for displaying the output image on a display of a mobile electronic device.

17. The navigation system of claim 16 , wherein displaying the modified guidance indicator in association with the navigational guidance route comprises projecting the augmented-reality path overlay image having the modified guidance indicator onto a windshield of a vehicle.

18. A method for generating a path overlay, the method comprising:

obtaining an image of the guidance route;

generating a guidance indicator corresponding to a guidance route, the guidance indicator comprising a plurality of pixels;

detecting a first object in the path of the guidance indicator;

generating a segmentation image based on the image, the segmentation image having first pixels corresponding to the first object in the image;

modifying the guidance indicator by occluding a portion of the guidance indicator by removing or dimming a portion of the plurality of pixels of the guidance indicator; and

displaying the modified guidance indicator on a display.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the first object detected is a non-moving vehicle.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the first object detected is a stationary object in the environment.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the stationary object is one of a tree, sign, pedestrian, physical obstruction in the environment, traffic light, curb, building, bridge.

22. The method of claim 18 , wherein the display is operably coupled to a moving vehicle, and wherein the first object detected is a portion of the moving vehicle.

23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the portion of the moving vehicle is a hood portion of the vehicle such that the occluding of the portion of the guidance indicator is occluded by the hood portion of the vehicle.
