HEADS UP DISPLAY, VEHICLE HAVING HEADS UP DISPLAY SYSTEM AND DIGITAL HEADS UP DISPLAY SYSTEM CAPABLE OF PROVIDING NON-DISTORTED IMAGE TO NON-PLANAR SURFACE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle having a heads up display (HUD) system. SOLUTION: The heads up display system includes an image rendering device configured to provide a distorted representation to a non-planar surface within a field of view of an occupant of the vehicle. Warp image circuitry configured to store offsets to be applied to image data to generate the distorted representation provided to the image rendering device is included in the heads up display system. The offsets represent respective distances for moving coordinates of a portion of pixels within the image data and the offsets are stored within a memory region of the warp image circuitry. The portion of pixels corresponds to vertices of polygons. The offsets are derived through calibration data provided to the warp image circuitry. The calibration data is selected from one of a plurality of view positions for the occupant. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
