Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality systems for vehicles lack the ability to effectively identify and display relevant objects in real-time, especially as the vehicle moves, and do not provide detailed views of objects of interest beyond their immediate field of view.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality system that uses an image sensor device, data storage, identification, and augmented reality devices to record, identify, and generate representations of objects based on user-defined criteria, allowing for storage and display of image data with high resolution and additional information, even after objects have left the field of view.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If image data of all identified objects is stored in high resolution, then the image quality and detail information are improved, but the storage space requirement increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by storing image data at different resolutions based on object characteristics and relevance. High-resolution images are stored for objects of interest identified by the selection criterion, while other objects are stored at lower resolutions or in compressed formats. This selective quality approach maintains image quality for important objects while reducing overall storage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the resolution parameter of stored image data based on the selection criterion. The identification device determines which objects meet the selection criterion, and the storage device stores image data for these objects at high resolution while storing other objects at variable resolutions. This dynamic parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction between quality and storage space.
2Loss of information
If all recorded image data is processed and stored, then no information is lost, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary image data for storage based on the selection criterion. The identification device processes recorded image data in real-time and extracts only those objects that meet the predetermined selection criterion (e.g., objects of interest, specific categories, or objects matching search criteria). This extraction approach prevents information loss for important objects while avoiding the processing burden of storing all image data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary identification and selection of objects during the recording phase, before final storage. The identification device continuously analyzes recorded image data and pre-identifies objects that meet the selection criterion, preparing a list of objects requiring high-resolution storage. This preliminary action reduces the computational load during playback and ensures no important information is lost.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If the system stores image data for a long period, then retrospective analysis capability is improved, but the storage resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the storage duration parameter based on object relevance. Image data for objects meeting the selection criterion is stored for extended periods, while data for other objects is stored for shorter durations or in compressed archives. This selective retention approach enables retrospective analysis of important objects without consuming excessive storage capacity indefinitely.
