Abstract:

Currently, AR (Augmented Reality) technologies for the automotive industry are available mostly for high-end luxury vehicles in developed countries where the nature of the solution is such that it is very costly to install and the repair cost is high. However, for developing countries, there is a huge and ever-increasing population that drives at night in low-light conditions where vehicle accidents are almost usually fatal. For developed countries too, the fatalities due to animal crossings etc is high. This paper presents a mechanism to drastically improve the visibility in low-light conditions using Augmented Reality where the real-time video is analyzed, and augmented with the highlights indicating obstacles if any. Our system uses an IR camera with suitable range. This video is then processed to identify the obstacles via machine learning frameworks, classified appropriately and augmented by highlighting the obstacles in the driver's path either visually or audio feedback or both. Our system can build upon previous knowledge to enable constant learning and improvement in the detection accuracy.
