| Adjustment of a visualization system by Michail - 12 May 12 - 21:53 |

| Dear colleagues, I offer a simple, effective and universal new method of semi-automatic programmable adjustment of a visualization system of an aircraft simulator. Advantages over known methods are as follows: Ø implementation of the proposed method does not require any a priori information concerning the configuration of the visualization system; Ø predistortions generated by the proposed method take into account distortions introduced into the visible image geometry of the outside-the-cabin space by the glass cockpit (see the attachment 1); Ø predistortions generated by the proposed method compensate geometric distortions introduced into a visualization system-generated visible image by the glass (or its imitation in the simulator) cockpit; Ø predistortions generated by the proposed method are adaptive to a configuration of the visualization system; the degree of polynomials approximating the predistortions is minimal for a given fidelity of angular coordinates of points of the object space modeled by the visualization system (know-how); Ø the method also provides correction of color distortions and/or those of brightness of the visible images generated by the visualization system; the correction is performed after the correction of geometric distortions; Ø the method provides recommendations relating adjustment and/or modification of the visualization system configuration that will ensure the maximum possible (for a given number and type of projectors) resolution and brightness of the visible image within the vision field; Ø the method provides additional, in-service adjustment of the visualization system; Ø as a consequence, the method can significantly reduce requirements to the qualification of the adjustment service personnel as well as time costs on the adjustment (both initial and periodic) of the visualization system. It allows to implement "remote" (e.g, via Internet) adjustment of visualization systems - to generate the coefficients of polynomials correcting coordinates, brightness, and color of the visual image generated by the system. Using our method, it is sufficient to transmit relevant images, to process them with the proposed algorithm, and to run generated by the algorithm recommendations for the visualization system adjustment. To date, we have developed and implemented into a software a mathematical model of the adjustment process, which proves its feasibility and efficiency. I am convinced that realisation of this method will allow to get essential competitive advantages. If such method is necessary - communicate with me to be convinced of a reality of these and other advantages of the method. Myhaiylo Moskalenko, PhD | |
