SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AIRCRAFT DOCKING GUIDANCE AND AIRCRAFT TYPE IDENTIFICATION

摘要

A laser scanning-based aircraft docking guidance system and method, the method comprising: a capturing step: laser scanning in the horizontal direction is performed on a position where the front of an aircraft is expected to appear, echo data of the laser scanning is obtained, and the echo data is judged according to a judging condition, so as to determine whether the aircraft has appeared; a guiding step: after the aircraft has appeared, laser scanning in the horizontal direction is performed on the front of the aircraft, echo data of the laser scanning is obtained, and the position of the nose of the aircraft is determined; a tracking step: as the aircraft moves forward, the position of the nose is tracked via adjusting the vertical scanning angle of the laser scanning, and the position of the nose is displayed in real time. The system and method implement capturing, guiding and tracking of the aircraft, obtain the real-time position of the aircraft via accurate laser scanning, and perform displaying, so as to provide a pilot with a prompt for berthing. In addition, the system and method automatically identify and verify the aircraft type, improving aircraft docking security.
