Description
Method for displaying the sensor data of at least one sensor device that is in particular horizontally rotatable by 360°
Description:
The invention concerns a method for displaying the sensor data of at least one sensor device, which is in particular horizontally rotatable by 360°, by means of a graphical user interface.
Numerous methods for displaying information, especially for rotatable or pivotable sensors, are known from practice. The known display methods are however unclear and do not generally allow simple orientation for the user.
The object of the present invention is to improve a method of the aforementioned type.
This object is achieved according to the invention by a method for displaying the sensor data of at least one sensor device that is in particular horizontally rotatable, preferably by 360°, by means of a graphical user interface, with which at least the following are shown: an orientation, in particular a current orientation, of the at least one sensor device; an orientation, in particular a current orientation, of a supporting device on which the at least one sensor device is disposed; a detection region, in particular a current detection region, of the at least one sensor device; and a position or a bearing of at least one object that is detected by means of the at least one sensor device in a common axis diagram with at least one axis, on which a scale with a degree graduation or a direction region or an angle region is plotted.
By the method according to the invention, a common and clear representation of the following information for especially rotatable or pivotable sensors is provided in a graphical man-machine interface or in a graphical user interface: orientation of the sensor, orientation of the platform on which the sensor is integrated, a current detection region of the sensor, and a position of possible objects.
Such a graphical representation enables a user to have simple orientation regarding the orientation of the sensor. This considerably reduces the load on the user.
The orientation of the at least one sensor device, the orientation of the supporting device, the detection region of the at least one sensor device and/or the position or the bearing of the at least one object that is detected by means of the at least one sensor device can relate to the azimuth. Azimuthal variables can thereby be displayed in the common axis diagram. Of course, it is also conceivable with the necessary changes to display other variables, for example relating to the elevation.
The position or the bearing of the at least one detected object can be represented by means of a marking or a marker at the direction value or direction region or angle value or angle region corresponding to the position or the bearing of the at least one detected object on the scale of the at least one axis of the axis diagram. Therefore, markers can advantageously indicate the position of possible marked objects in the common axis diagram.
It is advantageous if the orientation of the supporting device is represented by means of a marking or of a marker at the direction value or direction region or angle region or angle value corresponding to the orientation of the supporting device on the scale of the at least one axis of the axis diagram, in particular relative to North. The user can thereby acquire a view of the orientation of the platform or the supporting device that is either platform-related or North-related on the graphical user interface.
It is very advantageous if the especially current orientation of the at least one sensor device and/or the especially current detection region of the at least one sensor device is shown on a first horizontal, preferably lower, axis of the axis diagram. A lower scaling in the axis diagram can display the current detection region of the sensor. This enables the user to recognize the detection region intuitively and simply.
The remaining surroundings that are not detected by the at least one sensor device can be represented on at least one further axis of the axis diagram. The at least one further axis of the axis diagram can comprise at least one lateral axis and/or a horizontal, preferably upper axis of the axis diagram. An upper and lateral scaling of the axis diagram can thereby show the remaining surroundings of the sensor device.
The scale of the at least one axis of the axis diagram can be automatically adjusted in the event of a change of the detection region and/or the orientation of the at least one sensor device. The scaling of the first horizontal axis can thereby change with the orientation of the sensor in the event of a change of the current sensor region or of the detection region of the sensor. Similarly, the scaling of the at least one further axis can change depending on the scaling of the first horizontal axis. The scaling of the display of the remaining surroundings depends on the scaling of the lower region. Said scaling can thus also change in the event of a change of the sensor orientation and in the event of a change of the detection region of the sensor.
In Claim 9, an apparatus is specified that is configured to represent the sensor data of at least one sensor device.
Advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention are revealed in the subordinate claims.
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below in principle using the drawing.
The single figure of the drawing shows a schematic representation of a graphical user interface for illustrating the method according to the invention.
According to the invention, a method for displaying the sensor data of at least one sensor device, which is in particular horizontally rotatable by 360° and which is not shown, by means of a graphical user interface 1 is proposed, with which at least the following are shown: an orientation of the at least one sensor device; an orientation of a supporting device that is not shown, on which the at least one sensor device is disposed; an especially current detection region 2 of the at least one sensor device; and a position or a bearing of at least one object that is detected by means of the at least one sensor device in a common axis diagram 3 with axes 3a to 3d, on which a scale 4a to 4d with a degree graduation or an angle region or direction region is plotted.
The method according to the invention can be implemented on an apparatus that is not shown, which is configured for the representation of the sensor data of the at least one sensor device, at least comprising an image reproduction device for displaying the sensor data and an electronic processing and display device that is arranged to carry out the method.
The orientation of the at least one sensor device, the orientation of the supporting device, the detection region 2 of the at least one sensor device and/or the position or the bearing of the at least one object that is detected by means of the at least one sensor device concerns the azimuth in the present exemplary embodiment. Of course, other orientations, in particular an elevation, can be displayed in further exemplary embodiments that are not shown.
As can be seen from the figure, the position or the bearing of the at least one detected object is shown by means of markings or markers 5a, 5b, 5c at the at least one detected object direction value corresponding to the position or the bearing on the scales 4a, 4b, 4c of the axes 3a, 3b, 3c of the axis diagram 3. In this case, the markers 5a, 5b, 5c can be provided with different numbers for the respective objects or with other visual means for distinguishing the objects. The markers 5a, 5b, 5c indicate the position of possible, for example marked, objects.
As can further be seen from the figure, the orientation of the supporting device is represented by means of a marking or a marker 6 at the direction value corresponding to the orientation of the supporting device on the scale 4d of the axis 3d of the axis diagram 3, in particular relative to North or the northern direction.
The orientation of the at least one sensor device and/or the detection region 2 of the at least one sensor device is/are shown on a first horizontal, preferably lower, axis 3a of the axis diagram 3.
As can be seen from the figure, the remaining surroundings that are not detected by the sensor device are shown on the further axes 3b, 3c, 3d of the axis diagram 3.
The further axes 3b, 3c, 3d of the axis diagram 3 comprise the lateral axes 3b, 3d and/or the horizontal, preferably upper axis 3c of the axis diagram 3.
The scales 4a to 4d of the axes 3a to 3d of the axis diagram 3 are preferably automatically adjusted in the event of a change of the detection region 2 or the orientation of the at least one sensor device. The lower scaling or scale 4a shows the current detection region 2 of the sensor. The scaling changes with the orientation of the sensor and in the event of a change of the sensor region. The upper and lateral scalings or scales 4b to 4d show the remaining surroundings. In this case, the scaling is dependent on the scaling 4a of the lower region 3a. The scales 4b, 4c, 4d thereby also change in the event of a change of the sensor orientation and in the event of a change of the detection region 2 of the sensor.
The graphical user interface 1 shows by means of the axis diagram 3 a so-called "360° bearing scale" with a representation of information for rotatable sensors, namely the orientation of the sensor, the orientation of the platform on which the sensor is integrated, a current detection region 2 of the sensor and a position of possible objects. These can of course be currently determined variables for this. The graphical representation according to the invention enables the user to have a simple orientation relating to the orientation of the sensor. Moreover, the load on the user is reduced.
