Daytime pedestrian detection on full-windscreen head-up display

Method to represent graphical images upon a transparent head up display of a vehicle alerting to pedestrian traffic, the method comprising:

• monitoring informational inputs detecting a location of a pedestrian;
• monitoring data related to a location of the eyes of an occupant;
• when the location of the pedestrian is within a threshold distance of the vehicle, determining a graphical image to register the location of the pedestrian upon the transparent head up display based upon the informational inputs and the data related to the location of the eyes of the occupant;
• and
• displaying the graphical image upon the transparent head up display;
• and
• wherein the substantially transparent head up display comprises a display comprising one of light emitting particles or microstructures over a predefined region of an overall surface permitting luminescent display while permitting vision through the windscreen.

System to represent graphical images upon a substantially transparent windscreen head up display of a vehicle alerting to pedestrian traffic, the system comprising:

• a sensor describing an operational environment of the vehicle;
• a sensor describing a location of the eyes of an occupant of the vehicle;
• the substantially transparent windscreen head up display comprising one of light emitting particles or microstructures over a predefined region of the windscreen permitting luminescent display while permitting vision through the windscreen;
• an enhanced vision system system manager
• monitoring data from the sensor describing the operational environment of the vehicle,
• determining a location of a pedestrian with respect to the vehicle,
• monitoring data from the sensor describing the location of the eyes of the occupant, and
• generating display requirements registered to the substantially transparent windscreen head up display describing the location of the pedestrian based upon the location of the pedestrian and the data from the sensor describing the location of the eyes of the occupant;
• and
• a graphics system generating the graphical images to be displayed based upon the display requirements;
• and
• a graphics projection system communicating with the graphics system and displaying the graphical images upon the substantially transparent windscreen head up display.
