METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATIC PARALLAX COMPENSATION FOR HELMET MOUNTED IMAGING SENSORS USED FOR AUGMENTED OR EXTENDED REALITY DISPLAYS
20230333450 · 2023-10-19 ·

A method, medium and system for compensating for parallax in transparent, semi-transparent, or opaque display components of a headband, headgear, head-worn device, or helmet-mounted device. A method for compensating for parallax in an image displayed on a display of a head-worn device (HWD) may include determining locations of one or more landmarks in a geographic space relative to a location of a user of the HWD based on first information indicative of the geographic space; generating a map of the one or more landmarks in the geographic space; receiving second information indicative of the geographic space; orienting the second information indicative of the geographic space relative to the map; shifting at least a portion of first or second information indicative of the geographic space to produce modified image data; and projecting the modified image data onto the screen of the head-worn device.

Weak target detection-oriented multi-modal infrared imaging system and method

A weak target detection-oriented multi-modal infrared imaging system includes an infrared optical window, a large-field of view (FOV) two-dimensional scanning mirror, a Cassegrain reflector group, a broadband spectrum relay mirror, a first lens group, a space-adjustable and transmittance-variable lens, a second lens group, a focal plane array (FPA) module, a data processing module and a space addressable transmittance modulation module. The data processing module generates a transmittance modulation control signal and an imaging integration time modulation signal according to an image data signal output by the FPA module, and the space-adjustable and transmittance-variable lens dynamically adjust an optical field transmittance under the effect of the transmittance modulation control signal. The FPA module adaptively adjusts an imaging integration time under the effect of the imaging integration time modulation signal.

System for parallax correction
09880448 · 2018-01-30 · ·

A system for parallax correction includes a first lens having a first pin extending radially therefrom and a second lens positioned parallel to the first lens. A moving platform has a first slot for accepting the first pin therein. The first slot is angled relative to the lenses to correct for parallax between the first and second lenses. The system can include an actuator for extending and retracting the moving platform towards and away from an object to focus on the object.
