Remote Parking Visual Control Using 3D Surround View
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Remote-controlled parking operations are hindered by the user's inability to visualize areas around the vehicle that are obscured, leading to potential interruptions or collisions during automated parking processes.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing at least two cameras on the vehicle to capture surrounding image information, generating three-dimensional spatial perspective environmental information, and displaying it on a mobile remote control device, allowing the user to view hidden areas through a partially transparent representation of the vehicle, enabling safer control of parking maneuvers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the driver stands outside the vehicle during remote-controlled parking, then the driver can control the parking operation remotely, but the driver cannot see areas around the vehicle that are obscured by the vehicle itself
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a bird's-eye view display that presents three-dimensional spatial information in a two-dimensional format on the mobile device screen. This dimensional transformation allows the driver to perceive areas around and behind the vehicle from an elevated perspective, overcoming the physical limitation of standing at ground level and providing comprehensive visual information of the parking environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system captures real-time images from multiple cameras positioned on the vehicle and creates a virtual copy of the surrounding environment displayed on the mobile device. This visual copy includes obscured areas by synthesizing images from different camera angles and presenting them as a unified bird's-eye view, allowing the driver to see what would otherwise be invisible from their physical position.
2Device complexity
If traditional camera systems are used without three-dimensional processing, then the system complexity is low, but the user cannot perceive obscured areas and collision risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent processes two-dimensional images from multiple cameras to generate three-dimensional spatial information representing the vehicle's surroundings. This 3D environmental model is then displayed in a bird's-eye view on the mobile device, enabling the driver to perceive obscured areas and spatial relationships, thereby significantly improving parking safety while maintaining manageable system complexity through software-based processing.
