  • Patent number: 4077062
    Abstract: A night visual aircraft system receives flight data from an aircraft simulator, and terrain data (such as light points) from the gaming area data base. A computer within the night visual system organizes this image data by frame in a buffer memory according to a particular format of addresses, sequences, and bit places.An image processor receives the formatted image data to account for the position and orientation of the aircraft relative to the light points, and then projects the data into two dimensions for display. An image generator processes the projected data to provide analog inputs to a CRT window display in the simulated aircraft. The deflection input has X and Y voltages which calligraphically position the beam for simulating light points. A blank time increment computer blanks the CRT screen as the beam moves from each displayed light point to the next light point to be displayed. The blank time is sufficient to permit post-deflection settling.
