System, Module, And Method For Creating A Variable Fov Image Presented On A Hud Combiner Unit
US Patent:
7961117, Jun 14, 2011
Filed:
Sep 16, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/283880
Inventors:
Kenneth A. Zimmerman - Lake Oswego OR, US

Assignee:
Rockwell Collins, Inc. - Cedar Rapids IA
International Classification:
G01C 21/00
US Classification:
340980, 340974, 340973, 340977, 345 7, 701 14
Abstract:
The embodiments disclosed herein present novel and non-trivial system, module, and method for creating a variable FOV image presented on a HUD combiner unit. A processor receives navigation system data and data associated with eye position. A variable FOV image data set representative of navigation symbology is generated, where the image data set is determined by applying the navigation system and eye position data to an adaptive FOV function, where the function correlates eye position to an FOV image. The image data set is presented to a HUD system where an image represented in the image data set is displayed on a combiner unit, whereby the image FOV correlates to eye position. Furthermore, the processor may receive terrain data and generate a variable FOV image data set inclusive of data representative of a three-dimensional perspective scene outside an aircraft.

US Classification:
340961, 340972, 340973, 340980, 701 14
Abstract:
A head-up display (HUD) is disclosed. The HUD is provided on board an aircraft. The HUD comprises a projector and a combiner. The combiner enables viewing of the world outside of the combiner and also allows viewing of information provided from the projector. A computer is coupled to the projector and provides airport runway and taxiway symbols conformally mapped onto the combiner. Also provided on the combiner is a mapping of automatic dependent surveillance broadcast advisory information and traffic onto the combiner.

International Classification:
H04N 9/64
US Classification:
348247, 348164
Abstract:
A method for monitoring inactive pixels in a scene imaging system may include determining a location of at least one inactive pixel in a focal plane array. The method may include sensing an environment image based upon a surrounding environment of an aircraft. The method may include generating an image associated with the environment image. The method may include evaluating a location for one or more inactive pixels in the generated image in comparison to a location for the at least one inactive pixel in the focal plane array. The method may include determining whether a fault exists in image generation or image display based upon the evaluation.
