Abstract

In this paper, we describe the architectural design, unit component hardware design and core software design(Helmet Pose Tracking Software and Terrain Elevation Data Correction Software) of IHDS(Intelligent Helmet Display System), and describe the results of unit test and integration test. According to the trend of the latest helmet display system, the specifications which includes 3D map display, FLIR(Forward Looking Infra-Red) display, hybrid helmet pose tracking, visor reflection type of binocular optical system, NVC(Night Vision Camera) display, lightweight composite helmet shell were applied to the design. Especially, we proposed unique design concepts such as the automatic correction of altitude error of 3D map data, high precision image registration, multi-color lighting optical system, transmissive image emitting surface using diffraction optical element, tracking camera minimizing latency time of helmet pose estimation and air pockets for helmet fixation on head. After completing the prototype of all system components, unit tests and system integration tests were performed to verify the functions and performance.

본 논문에서는 항공기 조종사 지능형 헬멧시현시스템(IHDS, Intelligent Helmet Display System)의 아키텍쳐 설계, 단위 구성품 설계, 핵심 소프트웨어 설계내용(헬멧 자세추적, 고도오차 보정 소프트웨어)을 기술하며, 단위시험 및 통합시험에 대한 결과를 기술한다. 세계적인 최신 헬멧시현시스템 개발 추세를 반영하여 3차원 전자지도 시현, FLIR(Forward Looking Infra-Red) 영상시현, 하이브리드형 헬멧자세추적, 바이저 반사형광학계, 야시카메라 영상시현 및 경량 복합소재 헬멧쉘 등의 사양을 설계에 적용하였다. 특히 3차원 전자지도 데이터의 고도오차 자동보정 기법, 고정밀 영상정합 기법, 다색(Multi-color) 조명광학계, 회절소자를 이용한 투과형 영상발광면, 헬멧자세 추정시간을 최소화하는 추적용 카메라, 장/탈착형 야시카메라, 머리 밀착용 에어포켓 등의 신개념의 설계를 제안하였다. 모든 시스템 구성품의 시제작을 완료한 후 단위시험과 시스템 통합시험을 수행하여 기능과 성능을 검증하였다.
