METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ATTITUDE DIFFERENTIATION IN ENHANCED VISION IMAGES
First Claim
1. A method for displaying information on a display device associated with a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining image data for an imaging region proximate the vehicle;
displaying, on the display device, a graphical representation of a first portion of the image data using a first visually distinguishable characteristic, the first portion corresponding to a portion of the image data above an attitude reference; and
displaying, on the display device, a graphical representation of a second portion of the image data using a second visually distinguishable characteristic, the second portion corresponding to a portion of the image data below the attitude reference, wherein the first visually distinguishable characteristic and the second visually distinguishable characteristic are different.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for displaying information on a flight deck display onboard an aircraft. An exemplary method comprises obtaining image data for an imaging region and displaying, on the display device, a graphical representation of a first portion of the image data using a first visually distinguishable characteristic and a graphical representation of a second portion of the image data using a second visually distinguishable characteristic. The first portion corresponds to a portion of the image data above an attitude reference and the second portion corresponds to a portion of the image data below the attitude reference, and the first visually distinguishable characteristic and the second visually distinguishable characteristic are different.

19. A flight deck display for an aircraft, the flight deck display having rendered thereon a primary flight display comprising:
-
a synthetic perspective view of terrain for a region proximate the aircraft; and a graphical representation of image data overlying the synthetic perspective view of terrain, the image data being obtained from an imaging device onboard the aircraft, wherein; a first portion of the graphical representation of the image data is visually distinguishable from a second portion of the graphical representation of the image data; and the first portion corresponds to image data above an attitude reference; and the second portion corresponds to image data below the attitude reference. - View Dependent Claims (20)
