Abstract
Observation system including a first optical path that is capable of receiving first optical radiation emitted by a scene and including a sensor for generating a first digital image from the first optical radiation; a second optical path that is capable of receiving second optical radiation originating from the scene and including an optical attenuator having a variable opacity; a display for displaying a second digital image from the first digital image; a third optical path coupled to the display and to the optical attenuator for observing the second digital image and third optical radiation transmitted by the optical attenuator; and an electronic control unit including an image processing unit for determining a light intensity of at least one pixel of the first digital image, the electronic control unit being configured to output a command to vary the opacity of the optical attenuator based on the determined light intensity.
