Head-up display for a vehicle

An electronic device, comprising:

• a memory storing a map;
• and
• a processor electrically connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• select a route on the map between a current position of a vehicle and a destination selected by a user,
• receive an image of a road ahead of the vehicle from a camera,
• identify a first object not corresponding to the destination in the image,
• identify a second object not corresponding to the destination in an area of the map,
• determine that the first object and the second object correspond to each other,
• correlate the image to the area of the map based on a first location of the first object in the image and a second location of the second object in the area of the map,
• display an indication indicating the route on a display in communication with the processor,
• scale the indication such that a first relative distance between the second object and the indication corresponds to a second relative distance between the first object and the scaled indication, and
• control a head-up display to display the scaled indication indicating the route, wherein based on correlation of the image to the area of the map using the first location and the second location, the scaled indication on the head-up display is substantially aligned with the road when viewed from front of the head-up display.

A method for a head-up display for a vehicle, comprising:

• selecting a route on a map between a current position of the vehicle and a destination selected by a user;
• receiving an image of a road ahead of the vehicle from a camera of the head-up display;
• identifying a first object not corresponding to the destination in the image;
• identifying a second object not corresponding to the destination in an area of the map;
• determining that the first object and the second object correspond to each other;
• correlating the image to the area of the map based on a first location of the first object in the image and a second location of the second object in the area of the map;
• displaying an indication indicating the route on a display separate from the head-up display;
• scaling the indication such that a first relative distance between the second object and the indication corresponds to a second relative distance between the first object and the scaled indication;
• and
• controlling a display of the head-up display to display the scaled indication indicating the route, wherein based on correlation of the image to the area of the map using the first location and the second location, the scaled indication on the display of the head-up display is substantially aligned with the road when viewed from front of the display of the head-up display.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded therein a program comprising executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

• selecting a route on a map between a current position of a vehicle and a destination selected by a user;
• receiving an image of a road ahead of the vehicle from a camera of a head-up display;
• identifying a first object not corresponding to the destination in the image;
• identifying a second object not corresponding to the destination in an area of the map;
• determining that the first object and the second object correspond to each other;
• correlating the image to the area of the map based on a first location of the first object in the image and a second location of the second object in the area of the map;
• displaying an indication indicating the route on a display separate from the head-up display;
• scaling the indication such that a first relative distance between the second object and the indication corresponds to a second relative distance between the first object and the scaled indication;
• and
• controlling a display of the head-up display to display the scaled indication indicating the route, wherein based on correlation of the image to the area of the map using the first location and the second location, the scaled indication on the display of the head-up display is substantially aligned with the road when viewed from front of the display of the head-up display.
