Abstract
The systems and methods of the present invention provide an image processor that displays enhanced vision images based on a plurality images sources. The image processor comprises both serial and parallel processors. The serial processor performs low data volume calculations needed by the parallel processor for image display. The serial processor precalculates transformations needed to convert source data from each source to a primary coordinate system. The parallel processor uses these transforms and correlates source data with the display on a pixel by pixel basis as each frame from the sources is received to thereby provide display data with decreased latency. The image processor reduces parallax effect and is capable of:) stitching images of different fields of view to provide a mosaic image;) fusing images taken of the same field of view by different types of sources into a fused image; and) correcting anomalies in the displayed image.
