Peripheral salient feature enhancement on full-windshield head-up display

摘要

A method to selectively project graphical images upon a transparent windscreen head up display of a vehicle based upon visual information present in a peripheral zone of vision includes monitoring a location of visual information corresponding to critical information with respect to the windscreen, and processing the location of the visual information to generate display requirements describing the visual information as present in the peripheral zone of vision. Processing the location includes monitoring an estimated operator gaze location with respect to the windscreen, comparing the estimated operator gaze location to the location of visual information, and generating the display requirements when the estimated operator gaze location is distant from the location of visual information by more than a threshold distance. The method further includes generating the graphical images to be projected based upon the display requirements, and projecting the graphical images upon the transparent windscreen head up display based upon the estimated operator gaze location.

1. Method to selectively project graphical images upon a transparent windscreen head up display of a vehicle based upon prompting to a visible feature not directly visible through the windscreen, the method comprising:
monitoring a location of a visible feature corresponding to critical information; monitoring an estimated operator head location; determining whether the visible feature is directly visible through the windscreen based upon the monitored location of the visible feature and the estimated operator head location; and when the visible feature is not directly visible through the windscreen, projecting the graphical images upon the transparent windscreen head up display prompting to the visible feature.
