  • Patent number: 10775621
    Abstract: A method, a device and a computer-readable storage medium containing instructions for setting a head-up display in a transportation vehicle. A setting device is introduced into a defined position in the transportation vehicle. The setting device has at least one camera and one projection unit. The projection unit is used to project an alignment pattern onto a calibration target positioned outside the transportation vehicle. The calibration target and the alignment pattern are acquired using a calibrated camera installed in the transportation vehicle. A deviation of the setting device from the defined position in the transportation vehicle is determined based on the image data of the calibrated camera. At least one test image displayed by the head-up display is acquired using the camera of the setting device. Setting information for the head-up display is determined based on the at least one acquired test image.
