Augmented reality information registration for head-up display

In this paper, we present an information registration method for an Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (AR-HUD) system. The AR-HUD system superimposes driving assistance warnings and instructions that correctly match the real world according to the driver´s view. AR information registration is a necessary procedure prior to the presentation of these warnings and instructions. This need is important in the field of safe driving, where the driver should keep his attention to specific situations and decide the upcoming maneuvers. This paper presents an automated AR information registration method that can establish correspondences between cameras and HUD on the assumption that the view of the driver are fixed toward the front. We also verify some of the use cases in the implemented AR-HUD system based on a test-bed vehicle.
