Abstract
A method and system for presenting environmental data including receiving environmental data from a sensor, processing the data to generate a graphical representation of the environment, wherein the view point of the graphical representation of the environment is a distance (d) and an angle (θ) relative to a point in an aircraft, and presenting the graphical representation of the environment to a user on a display.
Claims20
A method for presenting environmental data comprising:
- receiving environmental data from a sensor;
- processing the data to generate a graphical representation of the environment, wherein the view point of the graphical representation of the environment is a distance (d) and an angle (θ) relative to a point in an aircraft;
- and
- presenting the graphical representation of the environment to a user on a display.
A system for presenting environmental data comprising:
- a sensor operative to sense environmental data;
- a display;
- and
- a processor operative to receive environmental data from the sensor, generate a graphical representation of the environment, wherein the view point of the graphical representation of the environment is a distance (d) and an angle (θ) relative to a point in an aircraft, and output the graphical representation of the environment to the display.
A computer program product for presenting environmental data, the computer program product comprising a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and operative to store instructions for execution by the processing circuit for implementing the method comprising:
- receiving environmental data from a sensor;
- processing the data to generate a graphical representation of the environment, wherein the view point of the graphical representation of the environment is a distance (d) and an angle (θ) relative to a point in an aircraft;
- and
- presenting the graphical representation of the environment to a user on a display.
