Embodiment Construction

[0035] The principles of the invention make it possible, inter alia, to automatically process images taken during in-flight testing to determine the position of the flow cone in real time. Advantageously, this makes it possible to transmit in real time only the position of the flow cone to the ground, enabling automatic analysis of the aerodynamic properties of the part of the aircraft where the flow cone is installed, with the help of the limited data sent from the aircraft to the ground .

[0036] figure 1 A system for real-time management of data related to in-flight testing of the aerodynamic properties of an aircraft is schematically shown according to an embodiment of the invention.

[0037] also, Figure 2A to Figure 2D The steps of a method for real-time management of data related to in-flight testing according to an embodiment of the invention are shown.

[0038] According to the invention, the management system 1 comprises a set of flow cones 3 , a set of indicato...

Abstract

The invention provides image automatic processing on an aircraft, and relates to a system for real-time management of data relating to an in-flight test of aerodynamic behaviors of the aircraft. The system comprises flow cones, indicators, image capturing devices, and a processor. The flow cones are installed on at least one area of interest of the aircraft to be analyzed in the in-flight test. The indicators are installed in the area of interest defining a delimitation of the area of interest. The image capturing devices are installed in the aircraft and are configured to capture a stream of images of the area of interest on which the flow cones and the indicators are installed. THE processor is configured to process, in real time and onboard the aircraft, each current image of the stream of images to automatically identify and determine positions of the indicators and positions of at least some of the flow cones.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of in-flight testing of aircraft, and more particularly to acquiring images related to in-flight testing of the aerodynamic properties of the aircraft, automatically processing these images on board the aircraft, and, advantageously, transmitting the processed data in real time. Background technique [0002] In order to analyze the aerodynamic flow of the aircraft, flow cones are mounted on the area of ​​the aircraft to be analyzed. A flow cone is an element that can adopt the shape of a cone, when connected, for example, by a wire to a part of an aircraft, which, due to its lightness, exhibits a characteristic movement according to the type of aeronautical flight, and whose shape allows visualization in video recordings . These flow cones are photographed by a camera mounted in the cabin behind the window or by a camera mounted on the outside of the aircraft. Images are recorded onboard the aircraft and retrieved a...
