Abstract: The present invention provides a method suitable for use in a sense and avoid system of a vehicle having a hyperspectral imaging system, the method comprising: estimating the range to an object from the vehicle, wherein estimating the range comprises: measuring the emission spectrum of the object using the hyperspectral imaging system; identifying at least one trough and/or discontinuity in the emission spectrum by subtracting the measured emission spectrum from a perfect blackbody emission spectrum; and searching a storage means storing spectral radiances and/or wavelengths of troughs and/or discontinuities, each with an associated known atmospheric path length, for the corresponding spectral radiance and/or wavelength of the identified at least one trough and/or discontinuity in order to estimate the atmospheric path length, and consequently the range, between the object and the vehicle. The present invention also provides a sense and avoid system for performing the same method.

Abstract: A system for displaying multiple sources of data within a mixed reality environment, comprising a headset with a visor which is placed over a user's eyes in use. The visor includes a screen and the system further comprises a processor for generating a three-dimensional virtual environment to be displayed on the screen, and within which the data is arranged for viewing by the user. The system includes one or more cameras for capturing real world images in the vicinity of the user, and provides a facility for enabling selected objects from the captured images to be blended and included in the 3D virtual environment displayed on the screen. An extension of the system provides the facility for tailoring a mixed reality environment for a given application.
