System and methods for displaying a partial images and non-overlapping, shared-screen partial images acquired from vision systems

A method for displaying a partial image on a display unit of an aircraft, said method comprising:

• acquiring first image data from a forward-looking imaging device system;
• acquiring second image data from an image system;
• providing the first image data and the second image data to a terrain rendering processor;
• determining acceptable and unacceptable visibility data of the first image data;
• identifying third image data from the second image data based upon the unacceptable visibility data of the first image data;
• providing an indicating system with data representative of the third image data;
• and
• displaying an image representative of the third image data on a display unit of the indicating system.

A method for displaying a plurality of partial images on a display unit of an aircraft, said method comprising:

• acquiring first image data from a forward-looking imaging device system;
• acquiring second image data from an image system;
• providing the first image data and the second image data to a terrain rendering processor;
• determining acceptable and unacceptable visibility data of the first image data;
• identifying third image data from the second image data based upon the unacceptable visibility data of the first image data;
• providing an indicating system with data representative of the third image data and the acceptable visibility data of the first image data;
• and
• displaying simultaneously a first image representative of acceptable visibility data of the first image data and a second image of the third image data on the same display unit of the indicating system.
