Abstract:Increasing the pilot's situational awareness is a major goal for the design of next-generation aircraft cockpits. A fundamental problem is posed by the pilot's out-the-window view, which is often degraded due to adverse weather, darkness, or the aircraft structure itself. A common approach to this problem is to generate an enhanced model of the surroundings via aircraft-mounted sensors and databases containing terrain and obstacle information. In the helicopter domain, the resulting picture of the environment … Show more
