Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that receiving ground traffic data from a traffic computer, and enhanced vision system, EVS, imaging data from at least one EVS camera. A target area is determined in the EVS imaging data based on position data of the ground traffic data. Graphics processing is performed that is confined to the target area to enhance visibility of ground traffic in the EVS imaging data in the target area, thereby generating enhanced EVS imaging data. The graphics processing is selected from at least one of contrast enhancement, edge detection and template matching and highlighting of an outline of the ground traffic. A display is generated that is to be displayed on the display device based on the enhanced EVS imaging data and the EVS imaging data.
