Abstract

An enhanced vision system (22) and method for use with vision systems with an imager (22) sensitive to infrared radiation of less than 2-microns in wavelength, to produce a first image signal. Another imager (24) sensitive to infrared radiation at least 3-microns in wavelength may be used to produce a second image signal. Preferably, the first image signal represents sensed electric light sources, and the second image signal represents sensed background such as terrain, runways, structures, and obstacles. A signal processor (14) combines an image signal representing locally maximum values of the first image signal with the second image signal to create a displayed image.
