An image processing system for generating a display for a vehicle. The image processing system receives images, respectively, from a plurality of cameras mounted on the vehicle. The field of view of the plurality of cameras at least partially overlaps. The field of view of one or more of the plurality of cameras includes a region underneath the vehicle. The images are transformed to a common reference plane using a perspective transformation algorithm and based on intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the plurality of cameras, to thereby obtain a projected image. The projected image is projected to the common reference plane. A display is generated based on the projected image. The display includes a synthetic depiction of the vehicle including an outer profile. The display includes an image area within the outer profile that is based on the projected image for the region underneath the vehicle.

Display systems and methods

Systems and methods for providing image motion artifact correction for a color sequential (CS) display in a display system in a vehicle. The system includes a processor operationally coupled to a source of a coherent RGB image frame, a source of a line of sight (LOS) motion rate, and the display system, the processor configured to, calculate a sub-frame (SF) timing rate for the CS display; unpack the coherent RGB image frame into a Red, a Green, and a Blue frame; calculate a red, a green, and a blue pixel shift, as a function of a LOS rate change; apply the red pixel shift to the Red frame, the green pixel shift to the Green frame, and the blue pixel shift to the Blue frame, thereby creating modified RGB sub-frames; and re-packing the modified RGB sub-frames into a modified coherent RGB image frame for the CS display.

A panoramic image system with parallax mitigation includes a controller that can generate on a display an IFOV that includes image data from both a first image sensor having a first FOV and a second image sensor having a second FOV which are overlapping FOVs. The IFOV includes a portion of the non-overlapping section of a first FOV, the overlapping sections of both the first and second FOVs, and a portion of the non-overlapping section of the second FOV. The overlapping section of the first FOV is blended with the overlapping section of the second FOV, wherein the first FOV and the second FOV both have a level of contribution to the blended overlapping section. The level of contribution to the blending from the first FOV increases as the viewer's head moves in a first angular direction and decreases as the viewer's head moves in a second angular direction.

Panoramic vision system with parallax mitigation

Systems and methods are disclosed that include a video processing system associated with a vehicle. The video processing system receives video data from at least one camera mounted to the vehicle, the video data representing an external scene, receives motion data, a virtual gaze direction of viewing of the external scene and a direction of facing of a head of a user. The video data is transformed based at least on a disparity between the virtual gaze direction and the direction of facing and based on the motion data. The transformed video data is displayed on a display device of the user.

An augmented display system with dynamic see-through transmittance control is disclosed. The augmented display system includes: an augmented display screen; a tandem electrochromic (EC) filter disposed over the augmented display screen. The tandem EC filter includes a first window having a dominant first transmittance characteristic and a second window having a dominant second transmittance characteristic; and an augmented display transmittance controller configured to individually control the activation of the first window and the second window of the tandem EC filter, wherein the augmented display transmittance controller is configured to: determine from an ambient light sensor output the transmittance required from the first window and the second window for a selected augmented display luminance; and apply appropriate drive voltage waveforms to the first window and the second window to achieve the determined transmittance.

Systems and Methods are provided for displaying flight data parameters to aircrew members of an aircraft. The system includes a first display for a pilot flying (PF) that shows computer generated images of flight data parameters that are designated for the PF. A second display is used for a pilot monitoring (PM) that shows computer generated images of flight data parameters that are designated for the PM. An augmented reality vision system (ARVS) re-assigns the displays of designated computer generated images of flight data parameters between the first display and the second display according to instructions by the PF or the PM.

Augmented reality vision system for vehicular crew resource management

A display system for use on a vehicle is presented. The display system comprises a cursor control device, at least one electronic display for displaying a first image comprising a three-dimensional conformal view of a terrain and a first movable cursor, and a processor that is coupled to the cursor control device and the at least one electronic display. The processor is configured to move the first movable cursor on the first image in response to input from the cursor control device and to determine a latitude and longitude that correspond to the position of the first movable cursor.
