Personal electronic target vision system, device and method

摘要

A personal, electronic target vision system renders targets in the field of view of the user in real-time so that the user can visualize where the targets are relative to him, in an orientation analogous to unaided human vision. An electronic vision device exchanges target selection information with a target vision server which returns to the electronic vision device the corresponding selected target location information for rendering selected targets in accordance with the user's changing viewpoint. The target vision server queries a target information server in order to access, filter and provide the real-time target location information required by the electronic vision device. A surveillance system of sensors and target tracking systems provides the target information server with target location information.

主权项

1. A personal, electronic target vision system for displaying moving targets to one or more users relative to each user's respective location, comprising: one or more personal electronic vision devices (PEVDs) each held or worn by a respective user; and at least one remote computer connected to each said PEVD over a network; each said PEVD being configured to periodically send respective user data over said network to said remote computer, said user data including location of the respective user and look direction or orientation of said PEVD, the look direction or orientation of said PEVD including at least a horizontal bearing angle, and said remote computer being configured to acquire, from a source remote to each said user and to send to each said PEVD, respective target data selected by said remote computer in response to said respective user data including the location of the respective user and the horizontal bearing angle of said PEVD, said respective target data pertaining at least in part to near-real-time locations of moving objects within a determinable distance of the respective user, each said PEVD being configured to display, on a user-centric display, targets taken from the respective selected target data and to render the displayed targets in a user-centric view at respective locations relative to the location of the respective user and the horizontal bearing angle of said PEVD.
