ok so. car light projects into view.
screen emits infrared. coordinates known. find irregular heat readings (humans, live things), create mask shape of infrared characters, capture video feed of reality, apply brightness/contrast on masked area to enhance view of creatures at nighttime.
good. huh.

imho
if the ambient light is not bright enough to provide a clear image brightening said dark area will just create noise. infrared only works when you shine infrared light at a subject.

doesnt matter.
a blobby shape of bright noise will still alert owner to manual.
just wont be as pretty as a midly dim image brightend, but equally as effective.

"car light projects", "find irregular heat readings"
so it this about placing headlights on your car which also send out infrared (in a wide angle), then placing a front-mounted (otherwise the heat of your engine would distort the image) infrared sensor. Then taking the infrared image enhance it (maybe make some nice outlines of blobs/objects) and send it to front-window on which you can then project the image over the 'real world' view? Or maybe just have a translucent foil inside the front-window and make it into a 'screen'.
I think that would be hell to calibrate...

Could you keep machine-generated spam quotes to the appropriate thread vague?

i like the idead, vague. (totally clear btw)
as far as i understand the setup so far would not work unless the drivers head position and viewing direction are tracked. it is like turning the whole vehicle into virtual goggles. to keep up a spatial perception for the environment, the projections have to be permanently adjusted to the drivers head movement.
another thing is the infrared sensor - i think it has to be an optical system to be able to deliver usefull data - let's say... a camera - or better: 4 of them.- or 1 cam controlled by the track data. that should ensure projected/real view match. needs a 55 degree lens.invisiblechamber

Where are you planning to display the image? on-the windscreen, separate HUD screen, goggles, small screen in the IP?
What are you trying to do really? Sounds like you want better detail display on the creatures you are about to run over? (not the typical collision avoidance?) What about cold objects on the road?
- could be projected whereever the driver looks. always matching reality. even see-through solids is possible.invisiblechamber
- yes but how are you going to do it? (onto goggles, onto the inside of the vehicle, etc)ribit
- really not sure what's proposed here that is new..ribit

I'm still not sure whats proposed here (thats new), but... if you want to use goggles and have the car structure appear see-through, here's research project 'Transparent Cockpit':

- I'm good at that. Would help if thread knew what it was about.ribit
