Systems and methods for remote display of an enhanced image
First Claim
1. A vehicle system for providing remote display of an enhanced image, the vehicle system comprising:
- a vehicle body;
at least one image source mounted on the vehicle body; and
a processing element configured to receive data from the image source;
the processing element further configured to create an enhanced image with the received data by performing at least one of stitching image data from at least two image sources having different fields of view, fusing image data from at least two image sources having different image modalities, or combining image data from at least one image source with synthetic image data;
the processing element further configured to provide for transmission of the enhanced image via a wireless link to a display device capable of displaying the enhanced image,wherein the processing element is further configured to modify at least one transmission characteristic of the enhanced image based on a bandwidth of the wireless link and further based on at least one of a location of the vehicle body or an operating mode of the vehicle system,wherein the processing element is further configured to receive line of sight data from the display device, such that the processing element receives data from the at least one image source corresponding to the line of sight data and the processing element creates the enhanced image corresponding to the line of sight data, wherein the display device comprises one of a helmet mounted display or virtual reality goggles and wherein the line of sight data corresponds to a position of the display device.

Abstract
A system for providing remote display of an enhanced image comprises at least one image source and a processing element. The processing element is capable of receiving data from the image source, creating an enhanced image with the received data, and transmitting the enhanced image via a wireless link to a display device capable of displaying the enhanced image. The processing element may create the enhanced image by stitching image data from at least two image sources having different fields of view, fusing image data from at least two image sources having different image modalities, or combining image data from at least one image source with synthetic image data. The processing element may be further capable of modifying at least one transmission characteristic based on a bandwidth of the wireless link. The transmission characteristic may be selected from the group comprising field of view, frame rate, resolution, and compression.
