摘要： A system and method can provide an enhanced or other sensed image on a display. The system and method can sense an environment using an enhanced vision sensor or other sensor and provide an enhanced vision image or other image in response to data from the enhanced vision sensor. The enhanced vision or other vision system adjusts the sensing operation when an aircraft light is on to reduce back scatter effects.

摘要： An enhanced vision system for an aircraft is disclosed. The invention includes a display apparatus having a display element positioned between the pilot and a scene. The display element permits the pilot to view the scene therethrough. A first sensor is mounted adjacent to the display element. The first sensor is configured to detect light having a first radiation spectrum emanating from a first portion of the scene. A second sensor is mounted upon the aircraft away from the display element. The second sensor is configured to detect light having a second radiation spectrum emanating from a second portion of the scene. The display element is configured to visually represent the detected light with the first radiation spectrum precisely conformal with the scene as viewed by the pilot. The display element is configured to visually represent the detected light with the second radiation spectrum substantially conformal with the scene as viewed by the pilot.

摘要： A method of increasing positional awareness of a pilot of an aircraft during a landing approach of the aircraft. First data from a navigational aid is received. The first data is analyzed to determine a first position of the aircraft at a predetermined time. Second data is received. The second data is independent of the first data. The second data is analyzed to determine a second position of the aircraft at the predetermined time. The first position of the aircraft and the second position of the aircraft are compared, and the pilot is alerted to a difference between the first position of the aircraft and the second position of the aircraft. The second data may be displayed in a form that is convenient for the pilot to view during landing.

摘要： A present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for reducing image generating latency of an image presented on a display unit are disclosed. An image processing unit (“IPU”) may receive the image data set; receive (1) first navigation data of a first time from which second navigation data of the second time is determined or (2) second navigation data of a second time; receive third navigation data of the second time; compare the second navigation data with the third navigation data; and select a subset of the image data set in response to the comparison. Differences arising from the comparison, if any, may be used in determining the location and/or rotation of a cropping frame that selects the subset and forms a cropped image which is then provided to a display system, whereby the image represented in the subset is presented to the viewer.

摘要： Present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for preventing artifacts in an electromagnetic imaging system are disclosed. A processing unit may be configured to receive or derive exposure data corresponding to an exposure of electromagnetic radiation; identify each cell of the exposure data exceeding a maximum exposure limit; generate address data representative of an address of each identified cell; and send the address data to a modifiable medium such as (1) an array of reflecting devices that are modifiable through repositioning techniques, (2) an array of transmissive devices that are modifiable to prevent the passage of radiation, and/or (3) an occulting disk whose position is modifiable to prevent the passage of radiation. The exposure data could be comprised of actual exposure data received from a radiation detector. Alternatively, the exposure data could be comprised of calculated exposure data.

摘要： An apparatus monitors position for an aircraft. The aircraft includes a display, a position system, a vision system and a database comprising terrain data associated with an environment at a location of the aircraft. The apparatus includes a monitoring processor configured to perform character recognition or structure recognition on the image data to identify a structure or a character in the image data, correlate a position of the structure or character in the environment using a position from the position system and the terrain data, and cause the display to provide a confirmation in response to the position of the structure or character in the terrain data matches the position of the structure or character in the image data.

摘要： An apparatus provides a virtual display in an environment for various applications including avionic, naval, military, remote control, medical and other applications. The apparatus can be a near eye display, such as, a head up display (HUD) or head worn display (e.g., helmet mounted display (HMD), glasses-based, goggle-based, visor-based, etc.). The near eye display can include a combiner for providing one or more of: an image for a failed display, an image between two or more head down displays, or an image to direct attention to warnings or locations in the field-of-view of the combiner.

摘要： Present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for combining image data received from two or more vision systems are disclosed. A system may be comprised of a first vision source, a second vision source, and an image generator (“IG”). The first vision source may be could configured to generate a first image data set and a depth buffer data set, and the second vision data source could configured to generate a second image data set. The IG could be configured to receive both the first and second image data sets; the depth buffer data set; and generate a third image data set as a function of both image data sets, the depth buffer data set, and a pixel cutoff distance that may be fixed or variable. In addition, the pixel cutoff distance may be determined as a function of input variable data.
