  • Method of assisting in the navigation of a rotorcraft by dynamically displaying a representation of the outside world constructed in flight in instantaneous and/or deferred manner
    Patent number: 9441972
    Abstract: A method of assisting in the navigation of a rotorcraft by displaying in flight a dynamic representation of the outside world (Me) in the event of a loss of visibility (brown-out/white-out). Front maps with incorporated localization are generated on the basis of front images captured by a set of front cameras. Terrain elevation data is generated from images captured by complementary sets of lateral and rear cameras. In the event of a loss of visibility, a reconstituted world (Mr) is prepared from the front maps with incorporated localization. On request of the pilot, an extrapolated world (Mex) is prepared by adding terrain elevation data to the front maps with incorporated localization, in compliance with the common time and the relative positions of the various sets of cameras between one another.
