Abstract
Projected synthetic vision methods, systems and computer readable media are disclosed. For example, a system can include one or more sensors, a terrain database, and a projected synthetic vision controller coupled to the one or more sensors and the terrain database, the projected synthetic vision controller configured to generate and project synthetic vision images based on aircraft position, terrain information and aviator boresight information. The system can also include one or more projectors coupled to the projected synthetic vision controller.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- a terrain database;
- a projected synthetic vision controller coupled to the one or more sensors and the terrain database, the projected synthetic vision controller configured to generate and project synthetic vision images based on vehicle position, terrain information and vehicle operator boresight information;
- and
- one or more projectors coupled to the projected synthetic vision controller, wherein the one or more projectors are configured to display images onto a diffractive holographic member on an interior surface of a vehicle window.
A method comprising:
- obtaining, at a processor, position information from one or more sensors;
- retrieving, at the processor, terrain information from a terrain database based on the position information;
- obtaining, at the processor, boresight information;
- generating, using the processor, one or more synthetic vision images based on the position information, terrain information and boresight information;
- and
- projecting the one or more synthetic vision images, via one or more projectors, onto a diffractive holographic member on a surface of a corresponding vehicle window.
A nontransitory computer readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform operations including:
- obtaining, at a processor, position information from one or more sensors;
- retrieving, at the processor, terrain information from a terrain database based on the position information;
- obtaining, at the processor, boresight information;
- generating, using the processor, one or more synthetic vision images based on the position information, terrain information and boresight information;
- and
- projecting the one or more synthetic vision images, via one or more projectors, onto a diffractive holographic member on a surface of a corresponding vehicle window.
