Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a head-up display system that is efficiently adjustable. SOLUTION: The head-up display (HUD) includes a projector configured to project a distorted representation of image data onto a non-planar surface. The HUD also includes a warp image circuit configured to store offsets to be applied to the image data so as to generate the distorted representation. 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 circuit. The portion of pixels corresponds to vertices of polygons. The warp image circuit is further configured to map the vertices of polygons to the non-planar surface. A method for projecting an image onto a warped surface is also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
