  • Method and device for augmented depiction
    Patent number: 10497174
    Abstract: A method for augmented depiction of at least one piece of additional information in at least one image of a surrounding environment, in particular a vehicle surrounding environment, is disclosed. The image forms a background of a display, where several pieces of additional information to be depicted are compiled into at least one group and are output as a piece of group information in the background.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and device for assisting a driver when driving a vehicle
    Patent number: 9779622
    Abstract: A method for supporting a driver driving a vehicle involves monitoring an environment surrounding the vehicle, detecting road users at a crossing or intersection, and emitting indications concerning priority rules to the driver. The indications are emitted to the driver as symbols overlapping the surrounding environment on a display unit or overlapping an image of the surrounding environment.

  • Method for Integrating Virtual Object into Vehicle Displays
    Publication number: 20140285523
    Abstract: A method for the depiction of virtual objects in vehicle displays using one of at least one digital image of a defined real 3D object space recorded by a camera involves generating a virtual course of the road by retrieving perspective information from the digital image of the defined real 3D object space. A pre-determined virtual 3D object is then generated, which is subsequently adapted to the virtual course of the road of the defined real 3D object perspectively and with spatial accuracy. The adapted virtual 3D object is then integrated into the virtual course of the road of the defined real 3D object space.
