Method and apparatus to improve vehicle situational awareness at intersections
ActiveUS20090174573A1Improving vehicle situational awarenessEasy to seeAnalogue computers for vehiclesArrangements for variable traffic instructionsGuidance systemTraffic signal
The present invention includes a number of embodiments for improving vehicle situational awareness at intersections. A first embodiment may comprise a lens fitted at the top of the windshield or outside the vehicle, for refracting the light to the driver, so the driver may more easily see signals, signage and other features of an intersection, as well as other traffic. A second embodiment of the invention is used as an aid to prompt the driver that a light has changed. In a third embodiment, the light change sensor may be combined with other vehicle status information. As the car comes to a stop, the route guidance system may determine if the vehicle is at or in the vicinity of an intersection. Depending on the route guidance database, the system may also know whether or not there are traffic lights at the intersection. Using the vehicle's on board forward-looking radar sensor, the system may then determine if it is first in line at the intersection. In a fourth embodiment the system may be part of a portable after-market routing device. In a fifth embodiment the system, either portable or fixed, may be used to detect changes in the intensity of the brake lights of the vehicle ahead.

Exterior aircraft vision system using a helmet-mounted display
An improved multiple-sensor vision system for use on vehicles or aircraft. The system utilizes a plurality of fixed sensors, such as infrared sensors, that provide signals that are recorded on tape and / or stored in memory. A processor digitally samples the stored images and provides output to a helmet-mounted display. Desirably, the sensors are arrayed in series such that their images may be juxtaposed and blended to provide a wider field-of-view image. A tracking system desirably monitors the head position of the operator, which position is then used to select various images from the processor. In this way, the operator can select various views by simply looking in that direction. In one embodiment, the array of sensors is forward-looking and positioned close to the head position of the operator to minimize parallax issues. In addition to forward-looking sensors, other sensors mounted around the vehicle / aircraft may provide rearward, hemispherical, or complete spherical coverage. Sensors that monitor the status of various instruments on board the vehicle can also provide input to the helmet-mounted display, including a moving map tile that is displayed below or to the side of the main image.

Imaged-guided therapy for minimally invasive surgeries and interventions is provided. An image-guided device includes an elongate tubular member, such as a catheter, an annular array of capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (cMUTs) for real-time three-dimensional forward-looking acoustic imaging, and a therapeutic tool. The therapeutic tool is positioned inside an inner lumen of the elongate tubular member and can be a device for tissue ablation, such as a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device or a laser. The HIFU device is operable at high frequencies to have a sufficiently small focus spot, thus a high focal intensity. The imaging annular array is also operable at high frequencies for good acoustic imaging resolution. The high resolution forward-looking imaging array, in combination with the high frequency HIFU transducer, provides a single image-guided therapy device for precise tissue ablation and real-time imaging feedback.

Removes undesirable camera rotation from a panoramic video. Video frames are mapped to a sphere and then projected to a forward-looking planar video. Camera tracking or other techniques are used to derive camera position and orientation in each frame. From the camera orientation, a correcting rotation is derived and is applied to the sphere onto which the panoramic video was mapped. Re-projecting video from the rotation-corrected sphere reduces or eliminates camera rotation artifacts from the panoramic video. Rotation may be re-introduced and other visual effects may be added to the stabilized video. May be utilized in 2D virtual reality and augmented reality displays. Depth may be accepted by the system for objects in the video and utilized to create 3D stereoscopic virtual reality and augmented reality displays.
