An enhanced vision system (EVS) is integrated with a heads-up display (HUD). The EVS generates image of an external scene. The EVS generates the images without repeatedly generating the images when a mode of the HUD changes. The EVS includes an expanded interface, where inputs from the HUD are used in the internal processing of the EVS. The HUD then displays information in a graphical and alphanumeric format. The information can include an enhanced vision image from the EVS and/or a synthetic vision image from a synthetic vision system (SVS). The enhanced vision image can be merged with a synthetic vision image to provide a combined vision image.

EFVS integrated interface for image display control

A system includes a head-up display (HUD) system including a display; a combiner; and at least one processor communicatively coupled to at least one image sensor of at least one tracking system and to the display. The at least one processor configured to: receive image data from one or more of the at least one image sensor, wherein the image data is (i) for performing eye tracking and/or head tracking operations and (ii) for monitoring the displayed images; and detect the at least one malfunction of the HUD system.
