Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to calculating position and/or range data of object(s) in a scene external to an aircraft. A light projector (34) is configured to project, from an aircraft projector location, a collimated beam of light in a controllable direction onto the scene. The light projector (34) is further configured to control the intensity of the projected light, based on the controlled direction of the collimated beam of light. The reflected beam is detected by a camera (36, 38) located apart from the light projector (34). An image processor (44) is configured to use triangulation, to calculate position values and/or range data of the object(s) in the scene. The image processor (44) can be further configured to identify the object(s) in the scene and to produce, based in object(s) in the scene, one or more maps of the scene. The intensity of the collimated beam can be controlled based on the produced maps.

Abstract: A biometric sensing system for an aircraft cockpit includes an infrared camera (22), infrared illuminators (20), and a CPU (28). The infrared camera is mounted in a flight deck display surface of the cockpit and has a field of view including an upper body region of a flight crew member when the flight crew member is seated in the cockpit. The infrared illuminators are mounted in the flight deck display surface and directed to illuminate the upper body region of the flight crew member when the flight crew member is seated in the cockpit. The CPU can communicate instructions to the infrared camera and infrared illuminators, receive image data captured by the infrared camera, and process the image data captured by the infrared camera in order to determine an alertness level of the flight crew member based on at least one biometric characteristic within the captured image data.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to ranging an object (70) in a scene external to an aircraft (12). A light projector (34) and two cameras (36, 38) are mounted on the aircraft (12), the cameras (36, 38) at two locations distinct from one another. The light projector (34) and the two cameras (36, 38) are coordinated so that the light projector (34) projects a linear-patterned beam of light while the cameras (36, 38) simultaneously capture a row or column of image data corresponding to an active row or column of pixels upon which a linear-patterned beam of light projected by the light projector (34) and reflected by the scene is focused. Range to the object (70) is calculated using triangulation based on the captured rows or columns of image data and the distinct locations of the two cameras (36, 38) from which the image data are simultaneously captured.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to ranging object(s) (54) nearby an aircraft (12) using triangulation of pulses of linearly-patterned light projected upon and reflected by the object(s) (54). A light projector (28) projects the pulses of linearly-patterned light in a controllable direction onto the scene external to the aircraft (12). A reflected portion of the projected pulses is focused onto a selected row or column of light-sensitive pixels of a two-dimensional array, thereby forming a row or column of image data (541, 581). The direction of projected light and the row or column of pixels selected are coordinated so that the portion of the projected pulses reflected by the scene is received by the camera (30) and focused on the selected one of the rows or columns of light-sensitive pixels. Location(s) and/or range(s) of object(s) (54) in the scene are calculated, based on a projector location, a camera location, and the row or column of image data (541, 581).

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to ranging an object nearby an aircraft (12) by triangulation of spatially-patterned light projected upon and reflected from the object. The spatially patterned light can have a wavelength corresponding to infrared light and/or to an atmospheric absorption band. In some embodiments, images of the object are captured both with and without illumination by the spatially-patterned light. A difference between these two images can be used to isolate the spatially-patterned light. The two images can also be used to identify pixel boundaries of the object and to calculate ranges of portions of the object corresponding to pixels imaging these portions. For pixels imaging reflections of the spatially-patterned light, triangulation can be used to calculate range. For pixels not imaging reflections of the spatially-patterned light, ranges can be calculated using one or more of the calculated ranges calculated using triangulation corresponding to nearby pixels.
Abstract translation: 装置和相关方法涉及通过投影在物体上并从物体反射的空间图案化光的三角测量来测距飞机(12)附近的物体。 空间图案化的光可以具有对应于红外光和/或对应于大气吸收带的波长。 在一些实施例中,在具有和不具有空间图案化光的照明的情况下捕获物体的图像。 这两个图像之间的差异可以用来隔离空间图案化的光。 这两个图像也可以用于识别对象的像素边界并且计算对应于对这些部分成像的像素的对象的部分的范围。 对于成像空间图案光反射的像素,可以使用三角测量来计算距离。 对于不成像空间图案光的反射的像素,可以使用对应于附近像素的三角测量计算的一个或多个计算范围来计算范围。

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to using an image of a fiducial (62) located indicating a parking location for the aircraft (18) to provide docking guidance data to a pilot of an aircraft (18). The fiducial (62) has vertically-separated indicia (68, 70) and laterally-separated indicia (64, 66). A camera (54) is configured to mount at a camera location so as to be able to capture two-dimensional images (72A-I) of a scene external to the aircraft (18). The two-dimensional image (72A-I) includes pixel data generated by the two-dimensional array of light-sensitive pixels. A digital processor (56) identifies first and second sets of pixel coordinates corresponding to the two vertically-separated (68, 70) and the two laterally-separated (64, 66) indicia, respectively. The digital processor (56) then calculates, based at least in part on the identified first pixel coordinates corresponding to the two vertically-separated indicia (68, 70), a range (R) to the parking location.
