Transformation of Landscape into Artistic and Cultural Video Using AI for Future Car

摘要

When autonomous driving comes to reality in near future, a space in a car would become a special space where people can enjoy various kinds of entertainment. This paper proposes one such entertainment in which the outside landscape is to be changed into moving art. Firstly, the outside landscape is captured by a camera set near to a driver's head. Then each frame of the captured landscape video is transformed into an artistic image by utilizing the image transformation capability of CycleGAN, one of the recent AI technologies. And the converted video is projected on the windshield. Landscape seen from side windows can be changed into artistic moving images in the same way. In this way, passengers, as well as a driver of a future car, can enjoy artistic moving images that are converted from outside landscape into art video with any art style.
