Description
METHOD OF CONTROLLING A ROAD VEHICLE HUD SYSTEM
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method of controlling a road vehicle HUD (Head Up Display) system.
The present invention may be used to advantage in a car, to which the following description refers purely by way of example. A car HUD system projects on the windscreen of the car an electronic image displaying various information
(e.g. car speed), so that the driver can read the projected information without taking his eyes off the windscreen, i.e. off the road. BACKGROUND ART
A car HUD system normally comprises a generating unit, which receives information and generates an electronic image displaying the information received; and a projector, by which the electronic image generated by the generating unit is projected onto the car windscreen. Flaws in the optical system defined by the projector and windscreen pose a major problem when implementing a HUD system in a car, and, though not noticeable when
observing the road through the windscreen, may result in unacceptable distortion of the projected images. As a result, manufacture of the projector-windscreen optical system is governed by strict specifications, which greatly increase manufacturing cost and rejects. This is particularly true of the windscreen, in view of its extensive area (almost always over one square metre) and highly complex curved shape.
Moreover, in normal driving mode, vibration of the car produces continual small vertical and horizontal movements of the driver's head, and therefore eyes, so that the driver is forced to continually keep visual track of the image projected on the windscreen. This is a particularly serious problem when the image projected on the windscreen is one of the road obtained by an artificial (e.g. night or fog) vision system, in which case, the car is driven on the basis of the projected image, as opposed to a direct view of the road through the windscreen. In fact, in a situation such as this, the image projected on the windscreen is an essential, as opposed to accessory, driving aid, and must be observed seamlessly by the driver.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of controlling a road vehicle HUD system, which method is cheap and easy to implement, while at the same time eliminating the aforementioned drawbacks.
According to the present invention, there is provided a method of controlling a road vehicle HUD system, as claimed in the accompanying Claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS A non-limiting embodiment of the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows a schematic of a car featuring a HUD system in accordance with the present invention; Figure 2 shows a schematic of the Figure 1 car at an initial HUD system calibration stage.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates a car comprising a passenger compartment 2 bounded at the front by a transparent windscreen 3. Passenger compartment 2 houses a dashboard 4 located in front of the driver of car 1, and supporting a steering wheel 5, various driver- operated controls (not shown) , and various instruments and indicator lights (not shown) . Car 1 is equipped with a HUD (Head UP Display) system 6 comprising a generating unit 7 for generating an electronic image displaying information; and a projector 8 for projecting the electronic image onto windscreen 3.
The information in the electronic image is supplied to an input of generating unit 7 by an electronic central control unit 9 of car 1, and relates to operation of car 1. By way of example, the information in the electronic image may indicate the speed of car 1, the engine speed of car 1, the location of car 1 as supplied by a GPS-type device, or an infrared view of the road ahead of car 1 (artificial night or fog vision) .
HUD system 6 also comprises an assembly 10 of lenses for focusing the image projected by projector 8; and a mirror 11 for directing the image projected by projector 8 onto windscreen 3.
A processing unit 12 is interposed between generating unit 7 and projector 8 to process the electronic image generated by generating unit 7, and is connected to a memory unit 13, and to a sensor 14 for determining the real-time position of the driver's eyes. By way of example, processing unit 12 may comprise a Toshiba "Capricorn 2" processor. When setting up HUD system 6, an optical distortion map of the optical system defined by projector 8 and windscreen 3 (and, obviously, also by lens assembly 10 and mirror 11) is first memorized in memory unit 13. As shown in Figure 2, the optical distortion map of the projector 8-windscreen 3 optical system is created using calibration instruments comprising a control device 15 (typically a computer) and a television camera 16. Control device 15 is connected to and supplies projector
8 with an electronic image of a calibration grid for projection by projector 8 onto windscreen 3; television camera 16 then picks up the calibration grid image projected on windscreen 3, and supplies the projected image to control device 15; and the optical distortion map of the projector 8-windscreen 3 optical system is then constructed by comparing, point by point, the calibration grid image projected on windscreen 3 and the original calibration grid. Once completed, the optical distortion map of the projector 8-windscreen 3 optical system is memorized in memory unit 13.
During normal operation of HUD system 6, generating unit 7 generates a first electronic image displaying information supplied to an input of generating unit 7 by electronic central control unit 9. The first electronic image is then supplied by generating unit 7 to processing unit 12, which, starting with the first electronic image, generates a second electronic image derived from the first. More specifically, the second electronic image is generated by applying the optical distortion map, memorized in memory unit 13, to the first electronic image, so that the second electronic image is distorted equally but oppositely with respect to the projector 8- windscreen 3 optical system. Finally, processing unit 12 supplies projector 8 with the second electronic image, which is then projected onto .windscreen 3.
The second electronic image is equally but oppositely distorted with respect to the projector 8-
windscreen 3 optical system, so that, when the second electronic image is projected through the projector 8- windscreen 3 optical system, distortion by the projector 8-windscreen 3 optical system is completely compensated. In other words, as opposed to a corrected image, an image distorted equally but oppositely with respect to the projector 8-windscreen 3 optical system is projected.
The electronic images projected by projector 8 may be monochromatic (i.e. black and white) or RGB-standard colour images, in which each point in the image is assigned three different colours (Red - Green - Blue) of different wavelengths .
When colour electronic images are projected by projector 8, one optical distortion map of the projector 8-windscreen 3 optical system may be memorized in memory unit 13 and is valid for all three colours in the RGB system. This embodiment demands less computing power, but performance is inferior, on account of each wavelength being deformed differently from the others. Alternatively, when colour electronic images are projected by projector 8, three optical distortion maps of the projector 8-windscreen 3 optical system, each associated with a respective colour, may be memorized in memory unit 13. This embodiment demands greater computing power, but provides for better performance, by each wavelength undergoing the corresponding deformation.
As stated, HUD system 6 as described above provides for electronically compensating any distortion produced
by the projector 8-windscreen 3 optical system, and so functions correctly even with a projector 8-windscreen 3 optical system made to less rigorous manufacturing specifications and therefore more cheaply. In a preferred embodiment, during normal operation of HUD system 6, sensor 14 determines the real-time position of the eyes of the driver of car 1. On the basis of the position of the driver's eyes, processing unit 12 determines a shift to apply to the first electronic image, so that the first electronic image tracks the position of the eyes of the driver of car 1; processing unit 12 then generates the second electronic image by applying the shift to the first electronic image, and then applying the optical distortion map to the shifted first electronic image, so that the position of the image projected on windscreen 3 is shifted continually on windscreen 3 to track the position of the driver's eyes.
In an alternative embodiment, to track the position of the driver's eyes, the image projected on windscreen 3 may be shifted without compensating, as described above, distortion by the projector 8-windscreen 3 optical system. In other words, the second electronic image is generated by only applying the shift, and not the optical distortion map, to the first electronic image. In HUD system 6 as described above, the image projected on windscreen 3 is shifted electronically and in real time to track the position of the driver's eyes. As a result, as opposed to the driver's eyes tracking a
fixed image projected on windscreen 3, the image projected on windscreen 3 is shifted continually to track the movement of the driver's eyes, and is therefore viewed more instinctively, and is less tiring, particularly as regards focusing minor details • in the image .
