Patent Images
1. A method to generate an image of a host vehicle:
- determining, by a processor of the host vehicle, a pose of the host vehicle, the pose including an orientation of the host vehicle;
receiving, at the host vehicle, an input to generate a composite image of the host vehicle in the determined pose;
broadcasting, based on receiving the input to generate the composite image and via an inter-vehicle communication module of the host vehicle, a request to target vehicles for images of the host vehicle, the request including the pose;
generating, with the processor, the composite image of the host vehicle in the determined pose based on the images;
overlaying the composite image of the host vehicle in determined pose onto a three-dimensional model of a whole view of the host vehicle stored in memory of the host vehicle; and
displaying, on a display of the host vehicle, the three-dimensional model of the whole view of the host vehicle with the overlaid composite image of the host vehicle in the determined pose;
wherein the composite image of the host vehicle in the determined pose is an image of the host vehicle in the determined pose.

Abstract
Method and apparatus are disclosed for inter-vehicle cooperation for vehicle self imaging. An example vehicle includes an inter-vehicle communication module and a infotainment head unit. The infotainment head unit determines a pose of the vehicle and, in response to receiving an input to generate a composite image, broadcasts a request for images of the vehicle. The request message includes the pose. The infotainment head unit also generates the composite image of the vehicle based on the images and display the composite image on a display.

9. A vehicle comprising:
-
an inter-vehicle communication module; and an infotainment head unit, including memory storing a three-dimensional model of a whole view of the vehicle configured to; determine a pose of the vehicle, the pose including an orientation of the vehicle; receiving, at the vehicle, an input to generate a composite image of the vehicle in the determined pose; broadcast, based on receiving the input to generate the composite image and via the inter-vehicle communication module of the vehicle, a request for images of the vehicle, the request including the pose; generate the composite image of the vehicle in the determined pose based on the images; overlay the composite image of the vehicle in the determined pose onto the three-dimensional model of the whole view of the vehicle; and display the three-dimensional model of the whole view of the vehicle with the overlaid composite image of the vehicle in the determined pose on a display; wherein the composite image of the vehicle in the determined pose is an image of the vehicle in the determined pose. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
