Abstract
A present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for generating a future scene of a remotely-operated vehicle ('ROV') are disclosed. A future scene generator ('FSG') may receive remote navigation data from the ROV; receive engine control and steering control (“ECSC”) data representative of engine and steering commands; predict future navigation data based upon the remote navigation data, the ECSC data, and a time delay; retrieve object data corresponding to the future navigation data; generate an image data set based upon the future navigation data and the object data, where the image data set is representative of an image of a future scene located outside the remote vehicle; and provide the image data set to a display unit. If the ROV is an unmanned aerial vehicle, the ECSC data could be engine control and flight controls data, and the image of a future scene could be a three-dimensional perspective.
