Patent ID: 11919513
Assignee: JAGUAR LAND ROVER LIMITED
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A control system for providing assistance to an occupant of a vehicle, the control system comprising one or more controllers and configured to:
receive one or more vehicle parameters;
receive image data from an imaging device comprising captured images of an environment external to the vehicle;
determine a vehicle trajectory in dependence on the one or more vehicle parameters;
determine a composite image sequence comprising a sequence of image frames, each image frame comprising a captured image and a trajectory indicator indicative of the determined vehicle trajectory, the trajectory indicator providing a visual indication of a predicted path of a part of the vehicle; and
output a signal indicative of the composite image sequence to a display for displaying the composite image sequence to the occupant of the vehicle;
wherein the control system is configured to move the trajectory indicator from a first position in a first image frame of the composite image sequence, to a second position in a second image frame of the composite image sequence in dependence on a distance travelled by the vehicle between a time at which an image associated with the first image frame is captured and a time at which an image associated with the second image frame is captured such that the trajectory indicator appears substantially stationary with respect to a traversable surface within the composite image sequence; and
wherein the control system is configured to move the trajectory indicator from the first position to the second position such that, to the occupant, the vehicle appears to move over the trajectory indicator as the vehicle traverses the surface along the determined vehicle trajectory.
