Abstract
A system and method for generating an augmented navigational image for aligning a vehicle to a wireless charging pad includes capturing a first image in a forward longitudinal direction detecting a right parking space line and a left parking space line determining first distance between a wireless charging pad and the right parking space line and a second distance between the wireless charging pad and the left parking space line, generating an augmented navigational image in response to the first image and the second image wherein the augmented navigational image further includes a right longitudinal guidance line indicative of the first distance between a vehicle longitudinal axis and the right parking space line and a left longitudinal guidance line indicative of the second distance between the vehicle longitudinal axis and displaying the augmented navigational image on a vehicle navigation display.
