Abstract:
An image projection apparatus that can be attached to a vehicle and can be effectively utilized for acquisition of road surface condition information, detection of a hidden vehicle, and the like is provided. The image projection apparatus that projects an image includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information related to a vehicle; an image projection unit that projects an image based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit; and imaging means that acquires an image outside the vehicle, the image projection unit projects light in a wavelength band centered on a wavelength of 1.4 μm, and the imaging means provides the information related to the vehicle by imaging an image projected based on the light in the wavelength band centered on the wavelength of 1.4 μm.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle having an image projection system for projecting an image on a road surface, comprising:\n a controller configured to connect at least one of a sensor or communication circuitry and to input a signal including information related to the vehicle from the at least one of the sensor or the communication circuitry; and an image projection system comprises a plurality of projectors including an information image projector and a sensing light projector; and a camera configured to image an outside of the vehicle, wherein the information image projector is configured to comprise:\n a light source configured to irradiate light; \n a light modulator configured to modulate the light from the light source based on the information related to the vehicle input by the controller and generate an information image; and \n a projection optical system configured to project the information image generated by the light modulator on a road surface; \n wherein the sensing light projector is configured to project a predetermined wavelength light for sensing on the road surface, wherein the camera is further configured to image the road surface by using the predetermined wavelength light projected on the road surface, and wherein the controller is further configured to:\n calculate or detect a road surface condition or a presence of another vehicle based on an image imaged by the camera; and \n control the information image projector to change the information image based on the detected road surface condition or the presence of another vehicle.
