<p>An airplane (11) includes a system (10) which provides synthetic vision using a reality updated virtual image. The system includes a processor (17) which receives real-time image information regarding a scene of interest from a sensor (12), the sensor being supported on the airplane by a gimbal (13). The processor receives information regarding the orientation of the sensor from the gimbal, and receives navigational information regarding the airplane from a navigation system (14). The processor maintains virtual image information (23) regarding the scene of interest. The processor updates the virtual image information using the real-time image information, in a manner which improves the quality of the representation in the virtual image information of the scene of interest. The processor prepares combined image information (24, 31), by selectively combining information from the real-time and virtual image information.</p> |
