Abstract:
The present disclosure pertains to a system for providing terrain imagery during low visibility conditions. In some implementations, the system receives information related to meteorological conditions for the environment around a vehicle; obtains a three dimensional topographical map of the terrain around the vehicle based on a location of the vehicle; and responsive to the information related to the meteorological conditions around the vehicle indicating low visibility conditions for a vehicle operator effectuates, based on the information related to imagery data in the output signals, a location of the vehicle, and the topographical map, presentation of one or both of simulated views of the terrain around the vehicle and a position of the vehicle on the three dimensional topographical map to the vehicle operator.
