DYNAMIC ALARM ZONES FOR BIRD DETECTION SYSTEMS

摘要

Alarm and warning systems and methods for detecting the approach of objects to a prohibited area and eliciting a warning or an alarm when such objects are detected. The bird radar systems and methods are for use at airports or wind parks to provide a warning or an alarm when birds are approaching. The detection system includes one or more processors configured to detect and track a bird and to generate an alarm or alert when a tracked bird enters an alarm zone inside a radar coverage range, wherein the one or more processors are configured to dynamically arrange the alarm zone within the radar coverage range using real time information.

主权项

1. A bird detection system for detecting and tracking birds that may pose a collision risk with a collision object such as air traffic or a wind turbine, said bird detection system having a detection coverage range, said bird detection system comprising:
one or more processors configured to detect and track a bird and to generate an alarm or alert when a tracked bird enters an alarm zone inside said detection coverage range, said one or more processors configured to define an alarm zone with a given shape, size and position within said detection coverage range, said one or more processors configured to receive real time information relevant for the shape, size and position of said alarm zone, and wherein said one or more processors are configured to dynamically arrange said alarm zone within said detection coverage range using said real time information by adjusting the shape of said alarm zone, the size of said alarm zone or the position of said alarm zone within said coverage range in response to the received real time information.
