Neurovision^®; The way to merge visual reality with navigational and military systems

Abstract:

Historically, the extrapolation of the navigational data into what is perceived as reality by the pilot through the cockpit's window, and vice versa, has been a major source of human error during flight. Advanced computer generated terrain simulation systems provide real time virtual flights, but the pilot still needs to constantly keep checking visual reality with virtual environment and merge those on his mind. Besides, the field of view is narrow. In order to address this problem the head up display superimposes virtual and visual information. Unfortunately, angular inaccuracies related to angular vision coordinates and the changing pilot's point of view such as head position and distance to the device puts the 'head up' display on need of improvement. We propose an advanced method to merge visual reality with advanced navigational systems on a wide (180°) or very wide (360°) field of view. The system is able to acquire the tridimensional visual reality as well as infrared view merged with present and future advanced navigational systems and it is also able to deliver it to the pilot in the way the human brain better understands it. The Intruder Planes Projected Trajectory and the 3D shapes of Complex Weather may also be instantaneously understood by the pilot. The exceptional capability of the system to display intruder's angular position and projected trajectories into the panoramic visual perception of the pilot is shown. Such feature may also be extended to ground or unmanned units. We call this system Neurovision®. This advanced method for stereographic projection, able to generate Riemannian manifolds facilitates and even makes some computer tasks now possible, allowing improvements derived from differential geometry and neuroscience to hopefully provide novel opportunities to avionics and technology in general. Neurovision® enables to merge Panoramic View, Infrared, Navigation Computer Generated Graphics, Complex 3D weather and Intruder's Planes or Target's Projected 3D Trajectories for every plane or military units's 3D unique visual perspective. © 2013 IEEE.
