Abstract

Computer generated synthetic vision basically provides a realistic three dimensional image of the outside world and integrated guidance symbologies including innovative elements like a tunnel display. An efficient computer software is necessary for generating the pictorial elements in real-time. Data fusion is a means for providing the pilot with additional visual information. Such systems are aiming for an all-weather guidance capability.
