  • Publication number: 20230300467
    Abstract: A panoramic image system with parallax mitigation includes a controller that can generate on a display an IFOV that includes image data from both a first image sensor having a first FOV and a second image sensor having a second FOV which are overlapping FOVs. The IFOV includes a portion of the non-overlapping section of a first FOV, the overlapping sections of both the first and second FOVs, and a portion of the non-overlapping section of the second FOV. The overlapping section of the first FOV is blended with the overlapping section of the second FOV, wherein the first FOV and the second FOV both have a level of contribution to the blended overlapping section. The level of contribution to the blending from the first FOV increases as the viewer’s head moves in a first angular direction and decreases as the viewer’s head moves in a second angular direction.

  • Patent number: 8519997
    Abstract: A display system for use on a vehicle is presented. The display system comprises a cursor control device, at least one electronic display for displaying a first image comprising a three-dimensional conformal view of a terrain and a first movable cursor, and a processor that is coupled to the cursor control device and the at least one electronic display. The processor is configured to move the first movable cursor on the first image in response to input from the cursor control device and to determine a latitude and longitude that correspond to the position of the first movable cursor.
