METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT TAXIING ASSISTANCE

摘要

The system of the invention comprises: a first sensor (8) operating in a first spectral band and a second sensor (12) operating in a second complementary spectral band, respectively providing first and second signals corresponding to the runway and the environment thereof; a database (17) containing the signatures of elements that can be present on the runway in both spectral bands and a graphic representation of said elements; a processing unit (14) for acquiring and analysing the signals and, after said analysis, for: generating on a screen visible by the pilot a background image with an optimal quality based on the light and/or weather conditions; detecting by correlation with the signatures in the database the potential presence of elements on the runway; and inserting in the background image the graphic representation of the detected elements.
