Abstract
A wide field-of-view (FOV) image (121) is generated based on obtained optical data for display. A first magnified image (131) from a first region of the wide FOV that includes a center of a reticle (122a) is generated. A display of the first magnified image overlapping a first portion of the wide FOV image is initiated. An indication to adjust the first magnified image is received. A second magnified image (152) from a second region of the wide FOV image that is offset from the center of the reticle is generated. Display of the second magnified image overlapping a second portion of the wide FOV image is initiated.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- generating a first magnified image from a wide field-of-view (FOV) image comprising a reticle indicating a point of aim, wherein the first magnified image is copied from a first region of the wide FOV image, the first region comprising a center of the reticle;
- initiating display of the first magnified image within an eye piece of an optical device, the magnified image overlapping a first portion of the wide FOV image within the eye piece;
- receiving an indication to adjust the first magnified image;
- generating a second magnified image, wherein the second magnified image is copied from a second region of the wide FOV image, the second region being offset from the center of the reticle;
- and
- initiating display of the second magnified image within the eye piece, the second magnified image replacing the first image and overlapping a second portion of the wide FOV image within the eye piece.
A firearm scope comprising:
- a digital display;
- at least one hardware processor communicably coupled to the digital display;
- and
- computer memory interoperably coupled to the at least one hardware processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
- generating, from a received image, a wide field-of-view (FOV) image comprising a reticle indicating a point of aim;
- initiating display of the wide FOV image on the digital display;
- generating a first magnified image, wherein the first magnified image is copied from a first region of the wide FOV image, the first region comprising a center of the reticle;
- initiating display of the first magnified image on the display simultaneously with the wide FOV image, the magnified image overlapping a first portion of the wide FOV image;
- receiving an indication to adjust the first magnified image;
- generating a second magnified image, wherein the second magnified image is copied from a second region of the wide FOV image, the second region being offset from the center of the reticle;
- and
- initiating display of the second magnified image on the display simultaneously with the wide FOV image, the second magnified image replacing the first image and overlapping a second portion of the wide FOV image.
A firearm scope comprising:
- a digital display;
- at least one hardware processor communicably coupled to the digital display;
- and
- computer memory interoperably coupled to the at least one hardware processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
- generating, from a received image, a wide field-of-view (FOV) image comprising a reticle indicating a point of aim and a target in an environment;
- initiating display of the wide FOV image on the digital display;
- obtaining sensor input corresponding to conditions of the target and the environment;
- determining, based on the sensor input, a point of impact;
- generating a magnified image, wherein the magnified image is copied from a region of the wide FOV image, the region being offset from the center of the reticle and centered on the determined point of impact;
- and
- initiating display of the magnified image on the digital display simultaneously with the wide FOV image, the magnified image overlapping a portion of the wide FOV image.
