ABSTRACT:
The imaging system includes widely-spaced sensors on an airborne vehicle providing a base-line distance of from about five to about 65 meters between the sensors. The sensors view an object in adjacent air space at distances of from about 0.3 to 20 kilometers. The sensors may be video cameras or radar, sonar infrared or laser transponders. Two separate images of the object are viewed by the spaced sensors and signals representing each image are transmitted to a stereo display so that a pilot/observer in the aircraft has increased depth perception of the object. In effect the interpupillary distance of the human viewer is increased from the normal 5.9-7.5 cm to from about 5 to about 65 meters resulting in depth perception of objects at a distance of from about 0.3 km to 20 km or more.
