Abstract
A system is provided for alerting a crew in an airborne platform. The system includes a module for receiving point cloud data from a LIDAR system, including range data between the LIDAR system and multiple points in the point cloud. The system also includes a module for placing the multiple points into first and second zones, wherein the first zone has range data of points in the point cloud located within a first distance from the airborne platform, and the second zone has range data of points located further than the first distance. The first distance is predetermined by an operational environment of the airborne platform. The system further includes a color module for coloring the points in the first zone with a first color composition and coloring the points in the second zone with a second color composition. A color display is provided for displaying the colored points in the first and second zones.
