Adjustable synthetic vision
First Claim
1. A method for displaying a real-time view within an aircraft, the method comprising:
- panoramically displaying the real-time view;
receiving an indication of a synthetic vision application, wherein the indication enables the synthetic vision application for the real-time view;
identifying a synthetic vision application value to apply to the real-time view;
applying a synthetic vision enhancement to the real-time view according to the synthetic vision application value; and
generating a modified real-time view where the modified real-time view is enhanced by synthetic vision as indicated by the synthetic vision application value.

Abstract
Systems, methods and computer-storage media are provided for displaying a real-time image in a cockpit of an aircraft. Use of a synthetic vision application is provided with a gradient-type feature such that a level of synthetic enhancements applied to an image may be adjusted to a synthetic vision application value that is less than 100 percent. The synthetic vision enhancement may be overlaid with the original image, according to the synthetic vision application value, to generate a modified image. Additional information may overlay the original image with the synthetic vision application such as a three-dimensional weather representation. The synthetic vision application may be used in conjunction with a high-definition camera to generate the original image. The modified image may be updated in real-time such that an updated view is continuously modified with an updated synthetic vision enhancement to provide accurate real-time views.

8. A system for displaying a real-time view within an aircraft, the system comprising:
-
a touch-screen display; a processor; and a memory having embodied thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause a computing device to perform a method for displaying the real-time view on the touch-screen display within the aircraft, the method comprising; receiving on the touch-screen display an indication of a synthetic vision application, wherein the indication enables the synthetic vision application for the real-time view; identifying a synthetic vision application value to apply to the real-time view; applying the synthetic vision application value to the real-time view; and generating a modified real-time view on the touch screen display where the modified real-time view is the real-time view enhanced by synthetic vision as indicated by the synthetic vision application value. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media having embodied thereon computer-usable instructions that, when executed, facilitate a method of displaying a real-time image on a touchscreen within an aircraft cockpit, the method comprising:
-
receiving on the touchscreen an indication to enable synthetic vision; based on the indication to enable synthetic vision, generating a second image on the touchscreen including a synthetic vision enhancement overlaying the real-time image; receiving an indication on the touchscreen to include weather data in the second image; and generating a modified second image on the touchscreen that includes each of the synthetic vision enhancement and the weather data overlaying the real-time image. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
