METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUGMENTING A PERSON'S VIEW OF A MINING VEHICLE ON A MINING WORKSITE IN REAL-TIME

The invention pertains to a method for real-time visualization (14) of a risk zone of a mining vehicle (1, 1a) to a person (25) on a mining worksite (50) for augmenting the person's current view (3) of the mining vehicle (1, 1a). The method comprises the steps of capturing (11) with a camera (21) a stream of pictures (2) such as a video stream of the mining worksite (50) with the camera's field of view corresponding at least partly to the person's field of view, recognizing (11) at least one mining vehicle (1, 1a) in the picture stream by means of image processing, extracting (12) image data (5) of the mining vehicle (1, 1a) from the picture stream, calculating (13), based on the image data (5) and on preset vehicle risk zone data (8), at least one risk zone (6, 6e, 6f) of the mining vehicle (1, 1a) adapted to the person's current view (3) of the mining vehicle (1, 1a), and visualizing (14) the risk zone (6, 6e, 6f) on a person's display (25) such that the person's current view (3) of the mining vehicle (1, 1a) is overlayed in real-time with the visualization (7, 7e, 7f) of the risk zone (6, 6e, 6f).
