Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of airport foreign object monitoring, and more specifically, relates to a method and system for airport runway foreign object monitoring based on radar and visual fusion. Background Art

[0002] Airport runway foreign object detection is a crucial step in ensuring safe aircraft takeoff and landing. Various technologies and methods are typically used to monitor runway foreign objects to prevent them from posing a threat to aircraft. Foreign objects can include birds, debris, trash, or other objects that, if not removed promptly, can cause accidents during takeoff or landing.

[0003] Foreign object detection on airport runways is often done using two methods: visual image recognition and radar technology. Visual image recognition relies on real-time photography of the runway by high-resolution cameras or drones, combined with image processing and artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically identify foreign objects. The advantages of this method are high detection accuracy, strong target visualization, and the ability to accurately identify the type and shape of foreign objects. However, it is significantly affected by lighting, weather, and obstructions, and is particularly prone to false detection or missed detection in rainy, foggy, nighttime, or low-contrast scenes. Radar technology uses radar equipment deployed around the runway to analyze object reflection waves. It can maintain stable operation even in low-visibility environments such as fog, haze, rain, and snow, and has good all-weather capabilities. However, radar resolution is relatively low, making it difficult to identify foreign objects that are small in size, have smooth surfaces, or are made of absorbing materials.
