First Claim
Patent Images
1. An augmented reality navigation system coupled to a navigable vehicle, having a camera adapted to capture a plurality of image frames of an observable scene in accordance with said camera orientation, a display, and a base orientation sensor, the system further comprises:
- a computer operable to;
obtain an initial orientation from a said base orientation sensor;
analyze a first image captured from said camera, and select a plurality of reference image components (RIC'"'"'s) therein;
identify said RIC'"'"'s in a subsequently captured image and calculate a displacement for said RIC'"'"'s between frames;
compute a current orientation from said initial orientation and displacement, or a recently obtained orientation and said displacement;
generate an overlay comprising representation of objects, at least some of said objects selected using said current orientation;
periodically update said current orientation using said base sensor; and
, wherein said display is adapted to display said observable scene and said overlay in registration.

Abstract
A navigation system utilizing augmented reality is provided which utilizes captured images to generate orientation information, wherein the pitch, yaw and roll are periodically derived from an inexpensive sensor, and in-between the periodical update, the pitch, roll, and yaw information are derived by capturing and image of the observed scene, identifying reference image components (RIC'"'"'s) in a images and comparing those RIC'"'"'s with subsequently captured images, to derive orientation information.

10. A method for marine navigation comprising the steps of:
-
sensing a first set of orientation information from a base orientation sensor;
capturing a video comprising a plurality of images of an observable scene, from ship mounted camera at a known orientation to said base sensor;
identifying at least two reference image components (RIC'"'"'s) in a first image from said video;
computing a displacement of said reference image components between said first image and a subsequent image from said video;
updating current camera orientation information utilizing said displacement;
generating an overlay utilizing said current orientation to select objects or object representation to be placed in said overlay; and
,displaying said video and overlay in close registration on a display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
