REAL-IMAGE NAVIGATION APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A real-image navigation apparatus applicable in a motor vehicle having transparent equipment installed therein, the real-image navigation apparatus at least comprising:
- an image-capturing unit adapted to correspondingly face and instantly capture images of a road in front of a mobile vehicle in a real-time manner;
a satellite navigation system installed within the vehicle and provided with mapping information to navigate the vehicle and generate appropriate navigation routes and driver-assisting navigation information;
a comparing unit installed within the vehicle and adapted to compare and determine consistency between the obtained images of a road in front of the vehicle captured by the image-capturing unit and road parameters of the mapping information pre-stored in the satellite navigation system, and further output three-dimensional navigation routes generated by cooperating with the satellite navigation system; and
a transparent display unit mounted on a transparent equipment installed within the vehicle to display thereon in real time to the user the driver-assisting navigation information generated by the system and the 3-D navigation routes output by the comparing unit.

Abstract
The invention provides a real-image navigation apparatus capable of being mounted on a vehicle having transparent equipment (windows) installed therein, including an image-capturing unit adapted to instantly capture images of a road in front of a vehicle; a satellite navigation system adapted to navigate and generate navigation routes and driver-assisting navigation information; a comparing unit adapted to compare and determine the consistency between obtained images captured by the image-capturing unit and road parameters of mapping information pre-stored in the system, and further output three-dimensional navigation routes planned by cooperating with the system; and a see-through display unit mounted on transparent equipment installed within the vehicle to display real-time driver-assisting navigation information and 3-D navigation routes outputted by the comparing unit to the user/driver, thereby presenting useful navigation data and related geographical information without overly diverting eye focus or obstructing the driver'"'"'s view, and thus increase driving safety.
