Abstract

A navigation method, an electronic device and a readable storage medium, which relate to a field of vehicle networking technology, and in particular to a field of navigation technology. The navigation method includes: acquiring a real world image and a navigation information; converting the real world image to obtain a projection image, wherein the projection image is matched with an eyebox of at least one pair of vehicle-mounted glasses; superimposing the navigation information on the projection image to obtain a navigation image; and transmitting to the vehicle-mounted glasses the navigation image so that the navigation image is displayed by the vehicle-mounted glasses.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the current position of the vehicle-mounted glasses is obtained based on a positioning system of the vehicle-mounted glasses.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in a case that the real world image is a second real world image captured by a second image capturing device of the vehicle-mounted glasses, the converting the real world image to obtain a projection image comprises:

acquiring a first positional relationship between the second real world image captured by the second image capturing device of the vehicle-mounted glasses and the eyebox of the vehicle-mounted glasses; and

converting the first real world image to obtain the projection image based on the first positional relationship.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the transmitting to the vehicle-mounted glasses the navigation image comprises transmitting to the vehicle-mounted glasses the navigation image through wireless communication.

8. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the determining a second positional relationship between the first real world image and the second real world image comprises:

performing feature point tracking on the first real world image and the second real world image, and determining the second positional relationship between the first real world image and the second real world image based on a first result of the feature point tracking; or

performing feature point tracking on a third real world image which is captured when the vehicle-mounted glasses is located at a specified position and the first real world image, determining a third positional relationship between the first real world image and the third real world image based on a second result of the feature point tracking, and determining the second positional relationship between the first real world image and the second real world image, based on a current position of the vehicle-mounted glasses, the specified position, and the third positional relationship.

9. The method according to claim 2 , wherein in a case that the real world image is a second real world image captured by a second image capturing device of the vehicle-mounted glasses, the converting the real world image to obtain a projection image comprises:

acquiring a first positional relationship between the second real world image captured by the second image capturing device of the vehicle-mounted glasses and the eyebox of the vehicle-mounted glasses; and

converting the first real world image to obtain the projection image based on the first positional relationship.

10. The method according to claim 3 , wherein in a case that the real world image is a second real world image captured by a second image capturing device of the vehicle-mounted glasses, the converting the real world image to obtain a projection image comprises:

acquiring a first positional relationship between the second real world image captured by the second image capturing device of the vehicle-mounted glasses and the eyebox of the vehicle-mounted glasses; and

converting the first real world image to obtain the projection image based on the first positional relationship.
