Detection Algorithm of Airport Runway in Remote Sensing Images

This article describes a rapid detection method of the airport runway for remote sensing images. The specific algorithm implementation steps are: Firstly, we use the Otsu's method to separate the runway from the images. Then we use the fractional differential gradient operator, which has good anti-noise performance and effective edge extraction ability, to extract the edge information of image,...

PROCEDURES FOR FOD DETECTION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS: ELECTRO-OPTICAL FOD DETECTION SYSTEM By:

INTRODUCTION As part of a comprehensive performance assessment of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) detection systems at civil airports, assessments of an electro-optical, intelligent vision system was conducted by the Center of Excellence for Airport Technology (CEAT). The performance assessments of FOD detection technologies were designed to provide a rich data resource that could assess the perfor...

Airport runway detection in satellite images by Adaboost learning

Advances in hardware and pattern recognition techniques, along with the widespread utilization of remote sensing satellites, have urged the development of automatic target detection systems in satellite images. Automatic detection of airports is particularly essential, due to the strategic importance of these targets. In this paper, a runway detection method using a segmentation process based o...

Performance ofthe Runway-Status Light System at Logan Airport

.. Runway incursions are a persistent problem in airport ground-movement operations. Numerous critical conflicts and several fatal accidents have occurred as a result of unauthorized or otherwise inappropriate entry of aircra& or surface vehicles onto an active runway. Many of these conflicts developed quickly, leaving little time for effective intervention by either the controller or the pilot...
