Appl. No.:

17/167861

Inventors:

- Charlotte NC, US
Jerry Ball - Litchfield Park AZ, US
Kenneth Leiphon - Phoenix AZ, US

Assignee:

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Charlotte NC

International Classification:

G08G 5/06
B60R 11/04

Abstract:

An image processing system for generating a display for a vehicle. The image processing system receives images, respectively, from a plurality of cameras mounted on the vehicle. The field of view of the plurality of cameras at least partially overlaps. The field of view of one or more of the plurality of cameras includes a region underneath the vehicle. The images are transformed to a common reference plane using a perspective transformation algorithm and based on intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the plurality of cameras, to thereby obtain a projected image. The projected image is projected to the common reference plane. A display is generated based on the projected image. The display includes a synthetic depiction of the vehicle including an outer profile. The display includes an image area within the outer profile that is based on the projected image for the region underneath the vehicle.

Abstract:

A graphic rendering system for use with certified avionics software onboard an aircraft is disclosed. The graphic rendering system includes a graphic rendering engine that has been certified by governing governmental authority for use in an aircraft for displaying critical information, wherein the graphic rendering engine is configured to access an aircraft-specific graphical database file and an aircraft-specific geographical database file for graphical and geographical data for use in rendering the graphic for display on the cockpit display. Both the aircraft-specific graphical database file and the aircraft-specific geographical database file have been customized for use on the aircraft. The graphic rendering engine is configured to use the aircraft-specific graphical database file and the aircraft-specific geographical database file for rendering the graphic for displaying critical information on the cockpit display without prior certification by governing governmental authority of either the aircraft-specific graphical database file or the aircraft-specific geographical database file.

Assignee:

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morris Plains NJ

International Classification:

G08G 5/00

Abstract:

Flight planning systems and methods are provided, which augment supersonic flight planning via the integration of sonic boom forecast data. In embodiments, the flight planning system includes a display device, a pilot input interface, and a controller architecture coupled to the display device and to the pilot input interface. During system operation, the controller architecture receives flight plan criteria entered via the pilot input interface. The controller architecture then endeavors to generate or construct a boom-regulated flight plan, which includes at least one supersonic flight plan segment, in accordance with the flight plan criteria. If unable to construct a boom-regulated flight plan, the controller architecture generates a visual notification on the display device. The visual notification can include, for example, a warning that an excessive sonic boom or overpressure event may occur during execution of the flight plan by an aircraft, absent modifications to the flight plan.

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morris Plains NJ

International Classification:

G08G 5/00
G06F 17/50

Abstract:

Avionic display systems and methods are provided for generating avionic displays including symbology decreasing the likelihood of boom tolerance threshold exceedance (an overpressure events) due to potential constructive interference between pressure waves occurring during supersonic flight. In various embodiments, the avionic display system includes a display device on which an avionic display is generated. A controller architecture is operably coupled to the display device and configured to determine when there exists a possibility for an overpressure event to occur in a future timeframe due to constructive interference between colliding pressure waves, which are forecast to occur during the impending supersonic flight of one or more A/C. When determining that there exists a possibility for an overpressure event to occur in the future timeframe due to constructive interference between pressure waves, the controller architecture further generates symbology or other graphics on the avionic display indicative of the potential occurrence of the overpressure event.

International Classification:

G02B 27/01
G06F 3/01
G06F 3/038
B64D 43/00

Abstract:

A method for displaying images on a head-mounted display (HMD) device that compensates for a user's vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) response. The displayed HMD image is compensated for predicted eye position such that the displayed image stays centered on the fovea of the eye, during transient eye movement caused by head motion, resulting in better display readability, discernment and cognitive processing.

International Classification:

B64D 45/00

US Classification:

701 3

Abstract:

A method for displaying a flight path navigational procedure includes, but is not limited to, detecting with a position detecting system a current location of the aircraft, obtaining from an electronic storage device a plurality of flight path navigation procedures available for a geographic location, determining with a flight path analysis system a preferred flight path that will be taken by the aircraft, and displaying on a display unit a moving map corresponding with the current location of the aircraft and further displaying a depiction of the plurality of flight path navigation procedures on the moving map. The preferred flight path is displayed with a visual cue that visually differentiates the preferred flight path from the other flight paths of the plurality of flight path navigation procedures.
