The present disclosure discloses a map display method performed at a terminal. The method includes: obtaining a real scene image of a current location and target navigation data of navigation from the current location to a destination; determining, according to the current location and the target navigation data, virtual navigation prompt information to be overlaid in the real scene image; determining, according to a device configuration parameter of a target device capturing the real scene image, a first location on which the virtual navigation prompt information is overlaid in the real scene image; performing verification detection on the current device configuration parameter; and overlaying the virtual navigation prompt information on the first location when the current device configuration parameter passes through the verification detection. According to the present disclosure, an AR technology is applied to the navigation field so that map display manners are more diverse and diversified.

At least one nearby vehicle may be extracted from a vehicle vicinity image collected by a sensor equipped in the target vehicle. Lane recognition information representing which one position a position of the extracted nearby vehicle corresponds to with respect to the target vehicle, and/or vehicle position information representing a relative distance from the target vehicle to the nearby vehicle may be identified. An attention degree of the nearby vehicle may be calculated based on a speed of the nearby vehicle calculated from the relative distance and a vehicle speed of the target vehicle, the vehicle position information of the nearby vehicle, the relative distance of the nearby vehicle, the speed of the target vehicle, or any combination thereof. An alarm for the nearby vehicle may be displayed on a screen according to the calculated attention.

A control section generates an overhead surround view composite image by combining image data acquired by plural cameras, and, combines the image data to generate a wide-range rear image, a left rear image, a right rear image, a front image and a rear image. The control section calculates angles of view of the image data that were used in generating the wide-range rear image, the left rear image, the right rear image, the front image and the rear image, respectively. The control section displays any of the wide-range rear image, the left rear image, the right rear image, the front image and the rear image in a first display region, and displays information expressing angles of view corresponding to images displayed in the first display region in a second display region in a manner of being superimposed on the overhead surround view composite image.

A racing coach device stores a first path of travel along a racetrack over a first time period and a second path of travel along the racetrack over a second time period. The racing coach device identifies, for each of a plurality of geolocations along the racetrack, one of the first path of travel or the second path of travel that is associated with a shorter duration of time over which the user traversed a segment of the path of travel associated with each of the plurality of geolocations. The device determines an optimal path of travel along the racetrack based on the identified first and second path of travel for each segment of the path of travel at each of the plurality of geolocations that results in a calculated lap time to traverse the racetrack that is less than the first time period and the second time period.

A head-up display includes a display panel, a reflective optical element, a controller, and an obtainer. The display panel displays a first image. The reflective optical element reflects image light from the first image displayed by the display panel. The controller controls a position at which the first image is displayed on the display panel. The obtainer obtains, as positional information, a position of an eye of a user. The controller changes the position at which the first image is displayed on the display panel in accordance with the positional information.

A head-up display is mountable on a movable body, and includes a first display panel, a reflective optical element, and an optical member. The first display panel displays a first image. The reflective optical element at least partially reflects image light from the first image displayed by the first display panel toward a user of the movable body. The optical member is between the display panel and the reflective optical element and is light transmissive. The display panel includes a surface facing a surface of the optical member. Each of the surface of the display panel and the surface of the optical member includes a reflection reduction layer to reduce light reflection.

A head-up display system includes a first projection module that projects a first image to display the first image in a forward direction not directly facing a user, a second projection module that projects a second image to display the second image in a forward direction directly facing the user, and a reflective optical element that reflects at least a part of the first image and at least a part of the second image.

The present invention relates to a method for displaying augmented reality information in vehicles. In particular, the invention relates to a method for displaying an augmentation on a windshield (12) of a vehicle (10), taking into account an current viewing direction of an occupant. The method prepares (900) augmented reality information for display on the windshield (12); detects (910) the current viewing direction (R) of an occupant (F) with respect to the windshield (12); defines (930) a clearance area (A) of the windshield (12) around the current viewing direction (R); and displays (940) the prepared augmented reality information taking into account the defined clearance area (A) on the windshield (12).

A method for capturing, by a host vehicle camera, an image of a leading vehicle, estimating a leading vehicle dimension and a first distance between a host vehicle and the leading vehicle in response to the image, receiving a data indicative of a traffic signal location and a traffic signal cycle state, determining a second distance between the host vehicle and the traffic signal, estimating a traffic signal view obstruction in response to the leading vehicle dimension, the first distance, and the second distance, and generating a graphical user interface indicative of the traffic signal cycle state in response to the traffic signal view obstruction.

A head-up display system includes a first projection module, a second projection module, and a first reflective optical element. The first projection module projects a first image. The second projection module projects a second image. The first reflective optical element reflects at least a part of the first image and at least a part of the second image. The first projection module includes a first display panel that displays the first image and projects the first image toward the first reflective optical element. The second projection module includes a second display panel that displays the second image, and an optical system that directs the second image toward the first reflective optical element.
