  • Patent number: 11232609
    Abstract: A method of displaying an image on a see-through display comprises: obtaining a first electro-magnetic radiation matrix of radiation intensity values of an object; dividing the first matrix into a second matrix representing a first subset of the radiation intensity values, and a third matrix representing a second subset of the radiation intensity values; generating a first grayscale image with an enhanced contrast representing the first subset of the radiation intensity values from the second matrix; colouring the first grayscale image with a first colourmap to obtain a first colour image; generating a second grayscale image representing the second subset of the radiation intensity values; colouring the second grayscale image with a second colourmap to obtain a second colour image; combining the first colour image and the second colour image; and displaying the combined colour image on the see-through display.

  • Patent number: 11228738
    Abstract: The invention concerns an augmented vision system (1) comprising: a displaying device (3) comprising: a fixing element (31) for coupling the displaying device (3) to a head-mountable component (90) configured to be positioned in front of a 5 face (102) of a user (100), and a display body (32) being coupled to said fixing element (31) by means of a pivoting link (321, 322, 323) providing a rotation of the display body with respect to the fixing element around a rotational axis (38); the display body (32) comprising 10 a display (33) configured to display thermal data and/or images provided by a thermal sensing device (2); and a first surface portion (325) configured to enter in contact with a forehead of a user, when said head-mountable component (90) is positioned in front of the face of the user, so as to rotate the display 15 body (32) to a predefined angular positioning (381) around the rotational axis (38).

  • Patent number: 10984563
    Abstract: A method of displaying an image on a see-through display comprises: obtaining a first electro-magnetic radiation matrix of radiation intensity values of an object; dividing the first matrix into a second matrix representing a first subset of the radiation intensity values, and a third matrix representing a second subset of the radiation intensity values; generating a first histogram for the second matrix; equalizing the first histogram to obtain an equalised second histogram; generating a first grayscale image representing the first subset of the radiation intensity values; colouring the first grayscale image with a first colourmap to obtain a first colour image; generating a second grayscale image representing the second subset of the radiation intensity values; colouring the second grayscale image with a second colourmap to obtain a second colour image; combining the first colour image and the second colour image; and displaying the combined colour image on the see-through display.
