Simulating the Moving Perspective View from an Aircraft
A system has been developed to provide the same visual cues to a pilot in a flight trainer as he would receive when flying an actual aircraft. The system continuously computes a perspective view of simulated terrain. An optical model of the terrain is created by projecting an image of a photographic slide onto a screen. This image is converted, optically, to a perspective image which is formed on a TV camera tube such that the computed view is analoged correctly. The system is servo-controlled in two 3-dimensional axis systems.
