“…The integrated GUI (Graphic User Interface) presents cockpit-like instruments and a colored radar display switchable to B-scope (range versus azimuth), to PPI or to HUD presentation which is shown in figure 6. At the DLR the data are fed into their Enhanced Vision System where complete flights can be simulated or replayed within a cockpit environment [8], [9]. …”

Weather-and daylight independent operation of modern traffic systems is strongly required for an optimized and economic availability. Mainly helicopters, small aircraft and military transport aircraft operating frequently close to the ground have a need for effective and cost-effective Enhanced Vision sensors. The technical progress in sensor technology and processing speed offer today the possibility for new concepts to be realized. Derived from this background the paper reports on the improvements which are under development within the HiVision program at DaimlerChrysler Aerospace. A sensor demonstrator based on FMCW radar technology with high information update-rate and operating in the mm-wave band, has been up-graded to improve performance and fitted to fly on a experimental base. The results achieved so far demonstrate the capability to produce a weather independent enhanced vision. In addition the demonstrator has been tested on board a high-speed ferry at the baltic sea, because fast vessels have a similar need for weather-independent operation and anti-collision measures. In the future one sensor type may serve both "worlds" and help ease and save traffic. The described demonstrator fills up the technology gap between optical sensors (Infrared) and standard pulse radars with its specific features such as high speed scanning and weather penetration with the additional benefit of cost-effectiveness.

“…An Enhanced Vision System (EVS) combined with SVS is used to provide real-time scene from a vision sensor suite with Infra Red and visible cameras to a pilot. The vision sensors can provide more information about the environment than pilot observation during poor visibility conditions viz., fog, rain, snow or haze [1,2]. The main function of the EVS is to fuse the imaging sensor data to increase the information content and quality of the captured imagery, and to present the fused image instead of individual images to the pilot on head up display to increase the pilot situation awareness.…”

The National Civil Aircraft (NCA) being developed at National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) is expected to have the capability of operation from airports with minimal infrastructure and instrumentation facility under all-weather conditions. The key enabling technology for this is an Integrated Enhanced and Synthetic Vision System (IESVS), which is a combination of Enhanced Vision System (EVS), Synthetic Vision System (SVS), and Head-Up Display. A prototype of EVS consisting of Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) camera and CCD color camera is developed and tested at NAL. A Simulink block is developed to acquire the image data in real time (online) from a four channel frame grabber. An image fusion algorithm based on wavelets is developed to fuse the images from CCD and FLIR cameras. The affine transform used for image registration is computed by selecting the control points from both CCD and FLIR images. Test results from the experiments conducted on the runway during day and night (runway lights ON/OFF) conditions are presented.
