Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between real and mirage image data in the three-dimensional data acquisition process?
The system likely uses algorithms to analyze the acquired data and distinguish between real objects on the surface and mirage images.
What is the range and accuracy of the laser light sensor used in this system?
The range and accuracy of the sensor are crucial factors in determining the effectiveness of the system in detecting foreign objects on paved surfaces.
Original Abstract Submitted
Three-dimensional data acquisition means acquires three-dimensional data output from a three-dimensional ranging sensor for scanning a paved surface for aircraft using laser light. Extraction means extracts, from the three-dimensional data, real image data about a real image present on the paved surface and mirage image data about a mirage image corresponding to the real image. Foreign object detection means detects a foreign object left on the paved surface using the real image data and the mirage image data.
