Dynamically augmented bird's-eye view

Abstract:

In accordance with an example embodiment, a vehicle includes a moveable member, posture sensing system, bird's-eye camera system, display, and controller. The posture sensing system indicates the moveable member's posture. The bird's-eye camera system provides images of its field of view, including the ground adjacent to the vehicle. The controller receives a posture signal from the posture sensing system, receives images from the camera system, creates a rendered vehicle representation, creates a rendered path projection, and generates a dynamically augmented bird's-eye view then displays it on the display. The moveable member is positioned in the rendered vehicle representation using the posture signal. The rendered path projection includes an outer envelope line projecting the path of an outermost point of the vehicle, determined using the posture signal. The dynamically augmented bird's-eye view is generated using the images, rendered vehicle representation, and rendered path projection.
