Abstract: A method is provided for readjusting a worn head-up display via an SVS synthetic vision system for viewing information pertaining to the piloting of an aircraft, the information being conformal with the real outside world, comprises steps consisting in: launching the readjusting method by displaying all or some of the conformal piloting information in a readjusting state, frozen on the display with respect to head movements and free with respect to the movement of the aircraft; then carrying out a series of N measurements of relative orientations {circumflex over (K)}l of the head corresponding to targeting actions Vi that superpose the various elements of piloting information displayed in the readjusting state with corresponding landmarks of the real outside world; then conjointly determining the relative orientation M01 between the display D0 and the tracking mobile element D1 and the relative orientation M3t of the inertial device D3 with respect to the Earth on the basis of a system of dual harmonization equations using the measurements {circumflex over (K)}l.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of the methods for graphically representing a first image from an image sensor of the outside landscape superimposed on a second image representing a synthetic image of the same outside landscape, the two images being displayed on a display screen of an onboard display system for aircraft. The first image comprises three rectangular zones of increasing transparency, each zone having a width equal to that of the first image and a determined height, the sum of the three heights being equal to the height of the first image, the first zone situated at the bottom of the image having a first constant level of transparency, the third zone situated at the top of the image having a second constant level of transparency greater than the first level of transparency, the second zone situated between the first zone and the third zone having a level of transparency that is continuously variable between the first level and the second level.

Abstract: The invention relates to a display system included in a device for traveling a path between at least two distinct points and for using at least one heading datum, wherein the display system comprises at least: an image sensor configured to acquire environmental images during the path traveled by the device; an image processing module capable of determining the drift of the device in real time; a module for determining information that is representative of the route taken by the device, a module for real-time determination of the true heading followed by the device from the information that is representative of the route and the drift of the device, a module for returning to the user information that is representative of the true heading.

Abstract: An on-board viewing system for aircraft of an image arising from an image sensor overlaid on a synthetic image of the outside landscape is provided. The method comprises the following steps: analysis, at a temporal frequency, of the sensed images so as to determine, in each image, a boundary between the information useful for piloting and the non-useful information, the useful information consisting of noteworthy elements, the temporal frequency being an order of magnitude lower than the video refresh frequency; determination of a transition zone in the vicinity of each boundary; display on the viewing screen, at the video refresh frequency, of the sensed images, each sensed image being displayed overlaid on a synthetic image of the landscape, the sensed image being opaque under the transition zone, totally transparent above the transition zone and of continuously variable transparency in the transition zone.
