Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide for generating a visualization of a three-dimensional (3D) world view from the perspective of a camera of a vehicle. For example, images of a scene captured by a camera of the vehicle and 3D content for the scene may be received. A virtual camera model for the camera of the vehicle may be identified. A set of matrices may be generated using the virtual camera model. The set of matrices may be applied to the 3D content to create a 3D world view. The visualization may be generated using the 3D world view as an overlay with the image, and the visualization provides a real-world image from the perspective of the camera of the vehicle with one or more graphical overlays of the 3D content.
