A highly visible overlay system includes contrasting visible elements configured to define an image overlay, a first portion of the visible elements comprises opaque elements having high contrast with bright areas of a field of view, and a second portion of the visible elements comprises illuminated elements having high contrast with darker elements of the field of view. The system may capture an image of a target scene for display and include a processing component configured to construct the plurality of contrasting visual elements in accordance with a visual acuity factor, and generate an electronic overlay constructed of the contrasting visual elements. The overlay may comprise a reticle formed on an optical element of a scope, including nonilluminated opaque portions and illuminated portions illuminated by a light source.

High visibility overlay systems and methods

A highly visible overlay system may include a display system and contrasting visible element configuration components configured to define contrasting visible elements. An imaging component is configured to capture an image of a target scene for display. A processing component is configured to construct the plurality of contrasting visual elements in accordance with a visual acuity factor, and generate an electronic overlay constructed of the contrasting visual elements. A display component is configured to display the constructed overlay in combination with the image of the target scene, with the overlay being displayed as an overlay on the image of the target scene. The contrasting visual elements may include a white block and a black block, configured to satisfy visual acuity factor, display configuration and field of view information.
