Front Vehicle Blind Spot Translucentization Based on Augmented Reality

This paper proposes a new vehicle blind spot elimination system which utilizes the on-board videos captured from other vehicles and the host vehicle. Such information is exchanged by WAVE/DSRC devices to achieve collaborative safety. The preceding vehicle which fully or partially blocks the field of view of the host vehicle could be translucentized in the video captured by the host vehicle and the driving environment of the front vehicle could be then visually checked by the host driver.
