Abstract: A system for rendering an augmented image frame includes a sensor, an interface, a memory, a processor, and a display. The sensor captures an environment image of an external environment of a vehicle that includes a physical object. The interface receives an augmentation class to be applied to the environment image frame. The memory stores an augmentation engine that causes the processor to receive the environment image frame and the augmentation class. The augmentation engine further causes the processor to determine an identity and location of the physical object, and retrieve a digital object associated with the physical object and the augmentation class. Subsequently, an augmented image frame is rendered including the digital object disposed at the location of the physical object in the external environment. Finally, the display depicts the augmented image frame to present the user with an aesthetically appealing synthetic view of the external environment.

Abstract: A method for operating a driver assistance system for a vehicle includes capturing a video feed of an external environment of the vehicle and transmitting the video feed to an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the vehicle. Subsequently, a designated speed limit for the vehicle at a current location of the vehicle is determined. The method further includes extracting context information of the external environment from the video feed and comparing the context information to the designated speed limit to create a contextual speed limit. A user is notified of the vehicle of the contextual speed limit. The context information designates a specific environment that the vehicle is located in based upon one or more of: first warning information that informs the user of unsafe driving conditions, first guidance information that provides directional information to the user, and objects located in the specific environment of the vehicle.
