  • Patent number: 11333506
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a more usable Augmented Reality (AR) display of navigation indications is described. A live camera image of a scene may be captured from a device. Navigation instructions may be generated from a navigation system and a navigation indication may be generated for display. A computer vision-based positioning algorithm may be performed on the camera image to determine the relative position between the viewpoint of the device and one or more landmarks in the live camera image. The location or shape of the visual display of the navigation indication may be determined based on the computer vision-based positioning algorithm.

  • Patent number: 11313695
    Abstract: A system and method may generate a more realistic augmented reality (AR) overlay by generating a segmentation image and blending it with one or more other images. The system may generate a segmentation image based on an input image. The segmentation image may be blended with an AR path overlay image to generate an object-masked AR path overlay image. The object-masked AR path overlay image may be blended with the input image to generate an output image.

  • Patent number: 11156472
    Abstract: Navigation assistance is provided to a user of a vehicle. A live view shows a scene of the roadway and navigation indicators may be superimposed on to the scene of the roadway using augmented reality. Interface elements on the live view provide additional information related to navigation. A map view may also be provided and be toggled from the live view by a toggle interaction. In addition, a hazard detection system may be provided to detect hazards and display indicators of the hazards to the user.
