Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method (300) for displaying a perspective view of the surrounding of an aircraft (100) in an aircraft. The method comprises accessing (310) surrounding information from a database. The surrounding information is photo-based and three-dimensional. The method further comprises processing (320) the accessed surrounding information so that a perspective view of the surrounding of the aircraft is provided. The perspective view of the surrounding correlates to the position of the aircraft and is photo-based with spatially correlated photo-based textures. The method further comprises transmitting (360) the provided perspective view of the surrounding of the aircraft to a displaying unit so that it can be displayed in the aircraft. The present disclosure also relates to a system, an aircraft, a use, a computer program, and a computer program product.
