Sensoriance project follow-up meeting in MLabs Optronics facilities

SENSORIANCE project goal is to develop a cost-effective system to improve safety in flight operations providing the aircraft with high definition vision capabilities in the IR and visual spectra. This vision system combines information from various sources, including a compact camera –consisting of a cost effective, versatile, high-performance and highly-reliable optical system— and external sensors, distributed in the form of LRU modules.

This information is then processed by a computer vision and image processing module to infer useful knowledge and event-reaction capabilities, aiding pilots during all phases of flight (taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing).

Evaluation Framework for Multiband Image Enhancement and Blending Algorithms…

Abstract:
Multiband imaging (the combination of image information from different spectral bands) is becoming a very common tool for image enhancement under low visibility conditions, due to the advances and cost reductions in imaging technology, particularly infrared (IR) sensors. As part of the development of an enhanced flight vision system (EFVS), this work proposes a laboratory setup to perform low visibility experiments in a controlled environment, as well as a set of methods to analyze and select the most adequate spectral bands in different scenarios. To serve as a starting point for similar research, a series of state-of-the-art band blending algorithms are provided, along with an evaluation of their performance on selected images regarding image quality and computation time.

Despite the advances in the aeronautical industry, there are still problems when visibility conditions are unfavorable, especially during the landing operation.

The main objective of the Sensoriance project, led by MLabs Optronics (project development division of Mesurex) in collaboration with SAAB Avionics Systems , is to develop a system high-definition optoelectronic in the visible and infrared spectra that, combining information from other sources, provide the pilot with improved visual information in situations of reduced or no visibility.

This information will be shown through the advanced system of situational vision in flight. The system, which will increase visibility in all weather conditions, will also be able to detect and avoid obstacles thus increasing the safety of flight operations.
