Abstract:
1. An aircraft optical display system for implementing an enhanced vision system based on weather conditions, the display system comprising: a plurality of imaging sensors configured to receive imaging input data and generate image data, each imaging sensor being associated with one or more weather conditions; a weather conditions input device configured to receive current weather conditions information; a weather dependent imaging system configured to receive the current weather conditions information and to select one or more of the plurality of imaging sensors to provide the image data in accordance with the current weather conditions information; and a combiner configured to enable viewing of the world outside of the combiner, wherein an optimized output image corresponding to the image data is projected on the combiner in accordance with the weather conditions information, wherein the image data is modified by the weather dependent imaging system based upon the weather conditions information to provide the optimized output image, the optimized output image being optimized with respect to degradation due to the weather conditions.
