Methods for remote display of an enhanced image

摘要

A method is provided for providing remote display of an enhanced image. The method receives data from the image source, creates an enhanced image with the received data, and transmits the enhanced image via a wireless link to a display device capable of displaying the enhanced image. The method may create the enhanced image by stitching image data from at least two image sources having different fields of view, fusing image data from at least two image sources having different image modalities, or combining image data from at least one image source with synthetic image data. The method may also modify at least one transmission characteristic based on a bandwidth of the wireless link. The transmission characteristic may be selected from the group comprising field of view, frame rate, resolution, and compression.

1. A method of providing remote display of an enhanced image, the method comprising:
receiving line of sight data from a display device that corresponds to a position of the display device, wherein the display device comprises one of a helmet mounted display or virtual reality goggles; receiving data from at least one image source that corresponds to the line of sight data; creating, with an image processor, an enhanced image with the received data by performing at least one of stitching image data from at least two image sources having different fields of view, fusing image data from at least two image sources having different image modalities, or combining image data from at least one image source with synthetic image data, wherein creating the enhanced image comprises creating the enhanced image corresponding to the line of sight data; modifying at least one transmission characteristic based on a bandwidth of a wireless link, wherein the transmission characteristic is selected from the group comprising field of view, frame rate, resolution and compression; and transmitting the enhanced image via the wireless link to the display device configured to display the enhanced image, wherein modifying the at least one transmission characteristic comprises modifying the transmission characteristics in a different order or to a different extent based upon a portion of the enhanced image that is to be modified, a location of a vehicle body that carries the at least one image source or an operating mode of a vehicle system that includes the at least one image source.
