  • Patent number: 12122290
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a control system (110) for a vehicle (200, 300), the control system comprising one or more controller, the one or more controller comprising an electrical input (140) arranged to receive image data (165) from one or more imaging devices (160), the image data indicative of an environment external to the vehicle (200, 300), a processor (120) arranged to generate one or more graphical indicators, each graphical indicator representing an extent of a projection (230, 310) from the vehicle into the environment external to the vehicle, wherein the extent of the projection is not visible in the image data, and an electrical output (150) arranged to output augmented image data comprising the image data and data indicative of the one or more graphical indicators for display on a display device.

  • Patent number: 11673506
    Abstract: A system comprises: image capture devices associated with a host vehicle and configured to capture image data indicative of an environment of the host vehicle; sensors associated with the host vehicle and configured to capture object data indicative of the presence of an object in a vicinity of the host vehicle; and a processor communicatively coupled to the image capture devices and the sensors to: receive the captured image data and captured object data; aggregate the object data captured by each sensor; determine, in dependence on the aggregated object data, a geometrical parameter of a virtual projection surface; generate a virtual projection surface in dependence on the geometrical parameter; determine, in dependence on the captured image data, an image texture; and map the image texture onto the generated virtual projection surface.
