Abstract

This application is applicable to the field of intelligent vehicles, and specifically provides a projection method and apparatus, a vehicle, and an AR-HUD. The projection method includes: obtaining image information and position information of a calibration object; projecting the calibration object based on the image information and the position information of the calibration object and an imaging model; and when an overlap ratio between the calibration object and a projection plane of the calibration object is less than a first threshold, adjusting a parameter of the imaging model. According to this application, an image projected and displayed may be aligned with a real world, which improves a projection display effect.
