Enhanced-image presentation system, device, and method

A device for enhancing an image presented to a pilot on a display unit, such device comprising:

• an image generating processor configured to
• receive navigation data representative of at least aircraft position and a flight plan;
• receive location data corresponding to the navigation data and representative of a fixed location of at least one object located outside the aircraft, where
• the fixed location has been predefined prior to flight;
• generate an image data set as a function of location highlighter data associated with the location data and highlighter band data associated with the flight plan, where
• the location highlighter data is determined as a function of the type of each object, and
• the location highlighter data and the highlighter band data are comprised of data representative of enhancing effects, such that
• the image data set is representative of each object enhanced with a location highlighter of a multi-dimensional image, and
• at least one object highlighted with at least one arc-shaped highlighter band;
• and
• provide the image data set to a display unit configured to present an image represented in the image data set on the display unit, whereby
• at least one location highlighter appears superimposed against the multi-dimensional image, and
• at least one arc-shaped highlighter band appears with one location highlighter.
