Method And System For Generating Augmented Reality With A Display Of A Motor Vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for generating an augmented reality with a display of a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- recording an image of an environment of the motor vehicle in the form of image data;
determining a virtual space in three dimensions from the image data;
detecting a real object in the image data;
determining a first coordinate range of the real object in the three dimensional virtual space;
adding a virtual element to the three dimensional virtual space, the virtual element having a second coordinate range;
controlling the virtual element in the three dimensional virtual space based on a user input;
outputting the environment and the controlled virtual element in combined form in an output image;
modifying the output image when the first coordinate range of the real object and the second coordinate range of the controlled virtual element form an intersection area; and
outputting the output image by means of the display of the motor vehicle.

Abstract
A method and system for generating augmented reality with a display of a vehicle is provided. The method comprises recording an image of an environment of the vehicle in the form of image data, determining a virtual space in three dimensions from the image data, and detecting a real object in the image data. The method further comprises determining a first coordinate range of the real object in the three dimensional virtual space, adding a virtual element to the three dimensional virtual space, and controlling the virtual element in the three dimensional virtual space based on a user input. The method further comprises outputting the environment and the controlled virtual element in combined form in an output image, modifying the output image when the first coordinate range of the real object and a second coordinate range of the controlled virtual element form an intersection area, and displaying the output image.
