A WINDSHIELD AND A METHOD FOR MITIGATING GLARE FROM A WINDSHIELD OF AN AUTOMOBILE

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method for mitigating glare from a windshield of an automobile. Plurality of images, captured from plurality of image capturing devices placed at predefined locations of automobile, are collected. Various image processing techniques are applied on the plurality of collected images to identify line of sight of driver of the automobile, presence of glare on the windshield and position of glare. A free floating opaque matter placed within the windshield is moved to the position of glare on windshield, thereby preventing the glare from affecting the driver. Movement of opaque matter on to the position of the glare is achieved by varying electrostatic potential to be applied across metal frame encircling the windshield. The windshield disclosed hereinabove is capable of adaptively positioning the opaque matter over the position of the glare without requiring any intervention from the driver, thereby facilitating in a smooth drive of the automobile.
