Method and system for providing a perspective view image by intelligent fusion of a plurality of sensor data
First Claim
1. A method for providing a perspective view image created by fusing a plurality of sensor data for supply to an operator with a desired viewing perspective within an area of operation, wherein the area of operation includes a battlefield, comprising:
- providing a plurality of sensors configured to provide substantially real-time data of the area of operation;
combining the substantially real-time data of the area of operation with digital terrain elevation data of the area of operation and positional data of the operator to create a digital cartographic map database having substantially real-real time sensor data;
inputting data regarding the desired viewing perspective within the area of operation with respect to the digital cartographic map database to provide a perspective view image of the area of operation; and
displaying the perspective view image to the operator.

Abstract
A method and system for providing a perspective view image created by fusing a plurality of sensor data for supply to a platform operator with a desired viewing perspective within an area of operation is disclosed. A plurality of sensors provide substantially real-time data of an area of operation, a processor combines the substantially real-time data of the area of operation with digital terrain elevation data of the area of operation and positional data of a platform operator to create a digital cartographic map database having substantially real-real time sensor data, a memory for storing the digital cartographic map database, a perspective view data unit inputs data regarding a desired viewing perspective of the operator within the area of operation with respect to the digital cartographic map database to provide a perspective view image of the area of operation, and a display for displaying the perspective view image to the operator.
