Visual aid generating system, device, and method |
摘要 |
Present novel and non-trivial system, device and method for generating visual aid image data are disclosed. In one embodiment, an image generator receives navigation data representative of at least one surface of interest (e.g., runway of intended landing) and aircraft position; retrieves navigation reference data representative of surface information; creates zone data representative of a lighting awareness zone for each surface of interest; receives first image data from a first source; and generates second image data as a function of the first image data and the zone data, thereby generating a visual aid to increase situational awareness of a pilot by enhancing his or her ability to detect or recognize the runway environment as presented by an enhanced image. In an additional embodiment, the image generator receives and includes third image data in the function for generating the second data. |

1. A system for generating visual aid image data, such system comprising:
a source of navigation data; a source of navigation reference data; a source of first image data; and an image generator configured to
receive navigation data representative of at least one surface of interest and at least aircraft position data,receive navigation reference data for each surface of interest,create zone data representative of a lighting awareness zone for each surface of interest unless the navigation reference data is comprised of zone data,receive first image data, andgenerate second image data as a function of the first image data and the zone data. |
