The present invention provides a system and method of displaying a representation of a road sign. The method comprises receiving information associated with the road sign, the information associated with the road sign comprising a front face of the road sign and a location of the road sign in a road system; receiving an image from a camera, the road sign being within the field of view of the camera; determining, using the image, an amount of the road sign that is obstructed; generating, in dependence on the amount obstructed, the representation of the road sign using the information associated with the road sign; and outputting the representation of the road sign for display.

Virtual overlay system and method for occluded objects

The present application relates to a method of dynamically controlling one or more systems in a vehicle (V). The method uses at least one image sensor (--) to determine driver attentiveness. The sensitivity of one or more vehicle driver aid systems are then controlled in dependence on the determined driver attentiveness. The present application also relates to a dynamic control apparatus (); and to a vehicle (V).

Dynamic control apparatus and related method

The present disclosure relates to a method for selectively highlighting visual zones associated with a vehicle. A point of origin and a gaze direction of a vehicle occupant are determined and a virtual projection plotted corresponding to the gaze of the vehicle occupant. The virtual projection extends from the determined point of origin in a direction of the determined gaze direction. With reference to a three-dimensional model comprising a plurality of pre-defined areas of interest, an intersection of the virtual projection with one of the plurality of areas of interest is identified. The method comprises controlling an illumination source that is associated with the determined one of said plurality of areas of interest so as to highlight a visual zone associated with the vehicle.

Dynamic lighting apparatus and method

The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling one or more vehicle systems. The method uses at least one sensor (--) to monitor a driver (D) to identify a driver distracted state. One or more functions of a first vehicle system () are inhibited when the driver distracted state is identified. The present application also relates to a control apparatus (); and to a vehicle (V). The present disclosure also relates to a method and related apparatus for controlling the output of a visual notification within the vehicle (V).
