  • STREAMING IMAGE DISPLAY WITH GROUND FEATURE COLOR INFORMATION ANNOTATIONS FOR AN AIRCRAFT AVIONICS SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20260065786
    Abstract: A method for providing a color-annotated display on an aircraft. Embodiments include receiving an image from a camera on the aircraft, determining one or more color regions in the image, accessing a color map based upon the one or more color regions, generating a color-annotated image, wherein one or more regions in the color-annotated image corresponding to the one or more color regions in the image are remapped based upon the color map, and displaying the color-annotated image in the aircraft.

  • Systems and methods for intelligently displaying aircraft traffic information
    Patent number: 11670182
    Abstract: There is presented systems and methods to present air traffic and other related hazards on a flight deck display in a manner that presents relevant aircraft that may be of interest to flight deck personnel at a future time, accompanied with decluttering the display by removing information pertaining to aircraft that are of lesser impact to the safe navigation of an ownship aircraft. The improved avionics system of the present invention can make decisions that are more intelligent on how to best present traffic information to a flight crew in a manner that improves upon the prior hardware processes and increases efficiency of operation of the avionics hardware and processing system by presenting relevant information and suppressing unnecessary computation and modification of display elements.
