Visual assistance for drivers by mixed reality

This paper describes extensive research results of visual assistance for drivers based on mixed reality and discusses the technical advantages of the research framework used. These include utilization of roadside cameras, development of windshield display, error-free image processing system, vision enhancement by mixed reality, and evaluation in real traffic environment. The approaches concentrate on providing the best visual clues that can be understood intuitively and instantly for driver's vision while driving. Novel visual assistance methods are proposed based on these research frameworks, research results of which include a virtual mirror and a virtual slope. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
