SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING INFORMATION ON A DISPLAY ELEMENT
First Claim
1. A method of displaying information on a display element, the method comprising:
- obtaining range data for objects located in a sensing region at a sampling time;
obtaining image data corresponding to an image of the sensing region at the sampling time;
deriving first graphics content from the range data;
deriving second graphics content from the image data;
correlating the first graphics content with the second graphics content such that they are spatially and temporally aligned with one another, resulting in correlated graphics content; and
rendering the correlated graphics content on the display element.

Abstract
A method of displaying information on a display element is provided. The display element may be deployed in a vehicle such as an aircraft. The method obtains range data for objects located in a sensing region at a sampling time, and obtains image data corresponding to an image of the sensing region at the sampling time. The method continues by deriving first graphics content from the range data, and by deriving second graphics content from the image data. The first graphics content is correlated with the second graphics content such that they are spatially and temporally aligned with one another. Then, the correlated graphics content is rendered on the display element.

9. A method of displaying information on a display element, the method comprising:
-
obtaining first range data for an object located in a sensing region at a first sampling time; obtaining image data corresponding to an image of the object at the sampling time; detecting low visibility conditions associated with the sensing region; acquiring second range data for the object at a second sampling time that occurs after the first sampling time; processing the image data and the second range data to generate image graphics content for a predicted image that corresponds to a simulated view of the object at the second sampling time; and rendering the image graphics content on the display element. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A display system for a vehicle, the display system comprising:
-
an onboard display element; an onboard ranging system configured to obtain, at a first sampling time, range data for an object located within a viewing region proximate the vehicle; an onboard imaging system configured to obtain, at the first sampling time, image data corresponding to an image of the object; at least one processor coupled to the onboard ranging system and the onboard imaging system; and a graphics system coupled to the processing architecture and to the display element, wherein the graphics system and the at least one processor are cooperatively configured to; render a synthetic display of the viewing region on the display element, the synthetic display including a synthetic perspective view of terrain located in the viewing region; render, in the synthetic display, a graphical representation of the range data; and render, in the synthetic display, a graphical representation of the image data that is spatially and temporally correlated with the graphical representation of the range data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
