Coordinate matching apparatus for head-up display
A coordinate matching apparatus for HUD (Head-Up Display) may include: an HUD configured to display an image on the windshield of a vehicle; a surrounding information measuring unit installed on the vehicle and configured to sense an object in front of the vehicle; and a control unit configured to match a coordinate of the surrounding information measuring unit corresponding to an installation position with a coordinate of the HUD, and display the image by matching the position of the object sensed by the surrounding information measuring unit with the coordinate of the HUD.
1. A coordinate matching apparatus for Head-Up Display (HUD), comprising:
an HUD configured to display an image on the windshield of a vehicle;
at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) installed on the vehicle and configured to sense an object in front of the vehicle; and
a control unit configured to match a coordinate of the at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR corresponding to an installation position with a coordinate of the HUD based on a viewpoint conversion matrix which is defined depending on a view angle measured by the at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR and a view angle of the HUD, and display the image by matching a position of the object sensed by the at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR with the coordinate of the HUD.
2. The coordinate matching apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising at least one of a vibration sensor, acceleration sensor and gyro sensor configured to measure vibration and posture of the vehicle,
wherein the control unit corrects the coordinate of the HUD for a coordinate change based on the posture of the vehicle.
3. The coordinate matching apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control unit converts the position of the object sensed by the least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR such that the view angle measured by the at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR coincides with the view angle of the HUD.
4. A coordinate matching method for a Head-Up Display (HUD), comprising:
receiving, by a control unit, an image of an object sensed by at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR;
matching, by the control unit, a coordinate of the at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR corresponding to an installation position with a coordinate of the HUD based on a viewpoint conversion matrix which is defined depending on a view angle measured by the at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR and a view angle of the HUD, and
displaying a HUD image by matching a position of the object with the coordinate of the HUD.
5. The coordinate matching method of claim 4 , wherein the matching of the coordinate of the at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR with the coordinate of the HUD comprises correcting the coordinate of the HUD when a coordinate change corresponding to a vehicle posture is received from at least one of a vibration sensor, acceleration sensor and gyro sensor.
6. The coordinate matching method of claim 4 , further comprising converting the position of the object sensed by the at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR such that the view angle measured by the at least one of a camera, radar and LiDAR coincides with the view angle of the HUD.
