Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to methods and systems for avoiding a collision between an aircraft on the ground and an obstacle. The method includes receiving a direction signal from a sensor indicating the forward direction of the aircraft and receiving a video image from a camera representing a field of view from a wingtip of the aircraft. Using this information, a processor determines a predicted path through which the wingtip of the aircraft will travel based upon the direction signal. The video image is displayed together with an overlay representing the predicted path within the field of view. In this way, the overlay provides information to assist in preventing the aircraft from colliding with obstacles in the field of view.
