An enhanced vision system and method for use with vision systems with an imager sensitive to infrared radiation of less than 2-microns in wavelength, to produce a first image signal. Another imager 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 combines an image signal representing locally maximum values of the first image signal with the second image signal to create a displayed image.

1. An enhanced vision system, comprising:a detection system configured to detect electromagnetic radiation, the detection system being adapted to produce a first image signal corresponding to radiation detected over a first range of wavelengths and a second image signal corresponding to radiation detected over a second range of wavelengths, where the first and second ranges are at least partially nonoverlapping; and a signal processor operatively associated with the detection system that combines an image signal representing locally maximum values of the first image signal with the second image signal to create a displayed image.
