Interactive Virtual Window Vision System For Mobile Platforms
First Claim
1. A vision and image capture system for mobile platforms comprising:
- a. an imaging sensor that comprises at least one imaging sub-sensor which is integrated in the outside walls of said platform;
b. at least one display screen on which is displayed the images captured by said imaging sub-sensor; and
c. a processing unit comprising hardware and software components for processing the gathered images, displaying them on said screen and optionally allowing other applications;
said system characterized in that said at least one imaging sub-sensor is mounted approximately at the height of the eyes of the operator of said system and at a predefined angle respective to said mobile platform matching the preferred viewing angle of said operator from his seat within said platform, thereby allowing a life like simulation and presentation of the images on said screen to said operator as if he were looking at the scene through a transparent window.

Abstract
The invention is a vision and image capture system for mobile platforms. The system comprises: an imaging sensor that comprises at least one imaging sub-sensor which is integrated in the outside walls of the platform; at least one display screen on which is displayed the images captured by the imaging sub-sensor; and a processing unit comprising hardware and software components for processing the gathered images, displaying them on the screen and optionally allowing other applications. The system of the invention is characterized in that the at least one imaging sub-sensor is mounted approximately at the height of the eyes of the operator of the system and at a predefined angle respective to the mobile platform matching the preferred viewing angle of the operator from his seat within the platform. This location and orientation of the imaging sub-sensor allows a life like simulation and presentation of the images on the screen to the operator as if he were looking at the scene through a transparent window in the side of the mobile platform.
