Abstract
A novel and non-trivial system and methods for displaying partial images and non-overlapping images acquired by vision systems representing scene is disclosed. A system is disclosed for displaying partial images and shared, non-overlapping images on a display comprises a forward-looking imaging device system, an image system, a terrain rendering processor, and an indicating system. The terrain rendering processor determines, based on visibility data, which part of an image of one system will be displayed. A method is disclosed for displaying a partial image on a display unit. A terrain rendering processor determines acceptable and unacceptable visibility data based on contrast data of first image data, and based on such determination, presents image data corresponding to unacceptable data to the indicating system for presentation on a display unit. A second method is disclosed for displaying two images on a display unit of an aircraft. A terrain rendering processor determines acceptable and unacceptable visibility data based on contrast data of first image data, and based on such determination, presents image data corresponding to both acceptable and unacceptable data to the indica…
