Obstacle Avoidance Situation Display Generator
First Claim
1. A display generator for displaying obstacle avoidance guidance, comprising in combination:
- means for obtaining air and ground collision avoidance data;
means for obtaining navigation data;
means for obtaining a control signal indicating what information to present on a display; and
a processor operable to receive the air and ground collision avoidance data, the navigation data, and the control signal, and generate display image video data that includes symbology representing at least one of a predicted ground collision, a predicted air collision, and an induced collision situation.

Abstract
A display generator for providing obstacle avoidance guidance to a pilot is described. The display generator receives data from an obstacle avoidance dispatcher and resolver module, a hybrid ground collision avoidance module, a hybrid air collision avoidance module, a display control panel, and a navigation management module. The display generator generates obstacle avoidance display image video data, which includes symbology that represents a location of one of a predicted ground collision, a predicted air collision, and an induced collision. The display generator provides the obstacle avoidance display image video data to an image rendering device, which a pilot can use to avoid both air and ground obstacles.

11. A method for generating a display depicting an obstacle avoidance situation, comprising in combination:
-
obtaining obstacle avoidance data;
filtering the obstacle avoidance data to select data for a predetermined view to be displayed;
preparing a terrain elevation image if a ground collision condition is to be displayed;
generating a primitive display table for a collision situation;
converting data in the primitive display table into a display format suitable for a type of display to be used; and
constructing a display presenting the collision situation. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
