  • Patent number: 9756280
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer storage mediums reduce an amount of data captured by a plurality of sensors on a vehicle that is streamed to an operator of the vehicle. Embodiments relate to processing the real-time data captured by the plurality of sensors so that required real-time data that is necessary for the operator to adequately monitor the target area is streamed in real-time to the operator while discarding the unnecessary real-time data. The discarded real-time data is replaced by a three-dimensional virtual model that is a virtual representation of the target area. The three-dimensional virtual model is generated based on previously captured data of the target area. The processed real-time data required by the operator is integrated into the three-dimensional virtual model. The processed real-time data that is integrated into the three-dimensional virtual model is streamed to the operator.

  • Patent number: 9709698
    Abstract: A computer method for determining potential wake turbulence by a first aircraft from wake generated by a second aircraft. The computer method includes receiving a signal generated by the second aircraft at the first aircraft and transforming the signal to a first wake turbulence boundary that represents the wake generated by the second aircraft. An intersection volume, which is representative of a zone of dangerous turbulence interactions, is selected for the first aircraft. Based on a determination of intersection between the first wake turbulence boundary and the intersection volume, issuing a warning flag if an intersection exists or continue generating the first wake turbulence boundary and determining whether interactions exist.
