Claim 21:
22. A method of implementing an assisted perception module, comprising:
attaching, through an attachment mechanism, the assisted perception module to a helmet; and
integrating modular components of the assisted perception module within a housing, the housing comprising a front portion and side portion, wherein the front portion is located over an eye of a user and the side portion is located adjacent to sides or rear of the helmet, or integrated therewith, the module components including:
one or more sensors located in either the front portion or the side portion to collect information about an environment as sensor data;
one or more processors located in the side portion and coupled to the one or more sensors, wherein the one or more processors execute one or more enhancement engines that process the sensor data from the one or more sensors into enhanced characterization data;
one or more output devices located in the front portion to electronically communicate the enhanced characterization data to the user, wherein at least one of the one or more output devices protrudes from the front portion of the housing in front of the user's eye; and
one or more buttons spaced to allow interaction with a gloved hand, at least one of the one or more buttons configured to enable a selection between two or more viewing modes, at least one of the two or more viewing modes configured to cause an enhanced characterization image generated from the enhanced characterization data to be displayed on the at least one of the one or more output devices, the enhanced characterization image comprising reduced and enhanced thermal image content representing a thermal image from the one or more sensors reduced to one or more main geometric features of an object with enhanced edges of the object.
