Abstract

An aircraft display control system is disclosed. The system comprises one or more displays configured to present a video stream of a surrounding environment to a user of the aircraft, image sensors configured to generate images of the surrounding environment, and a controller configured to execute an enhanced vision system (EVS) module, a synthetic vision system (SVS) module, a combined vision system (CVS) module and a brightness equalization module. The brightness equalization module measures an apparent brightness of a first frame of the video stream and applies a sigmoid transform function to equalize grayscale levels of a second frame of the video stream based on the apparent brightness of the first frame.
