Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for removing vehicle induced line-of-sight occlusions. Such systems and methods may comprise: (1) obtaining an image frame captured by an image sensor in a vehicle, the image frame comprising an object in an environment surrounding the vehicle; (2) detecting an occlusion event based on a vehicle structure occluding the object from an occupant of the vehicle; (3) modifying the image frame based on a metric of computation resources of the vehicle; (4) generating a data object representative of the occlusion event from the modified image frame; and (5) outputting the data object to a rendering device, wherein the rendering device renders a graphical visualization of the data object on a display viewable by the occupant of the vehicle.
