Estimating See and Be Seen Performance with an Airborne Visual Acquisition Model
Separation provision and collision avoidance to avoid other air traffic are fundamental components of the layered conflict management system to ensure safe and efficient operations. Pilots have visual-based separation responsibilities to see and be seen to maintain separation between aircraft. To safely integrate into the airspace, drones should be required to have a minimum level of performance based on the safety achieved as baselined by crewed aircraft seen and be seen interactions. Drone interactions with crewed aircraft should not be more hazardous than interactions between traditional aviation aircraft. Accordingly, there is need for a methodology to design and evaluate detect and avoid systems, to be equipped by drones to mitigate the risk of a midair collision, where the methodology explicitly addresses, both semantically and mathematically, the appropriate operating rules associated with see and be seen. In response, we simulated how onboard pilots safely operate through see and be seen interactions using an updated visual acquisition model that was originally developed by J.W. Andrews decades ago. Monte Carlo simulations were representative two aircraft flying under visual flight rules and results were analyzed with respect to drone detect and avoid performance standards.

Estimating snow cover from publicly available images
In this paper we study the problem of estimating snow cover in mountainous regions, that is, the spatial extent of the earth surface covered by snow. We argue that publicly available visual content, in the form of user g…
Efficient Volumetric Fusion of Airborne and Street-Side Data for Urban Reconstruction
Airborne acquisition and on-road mobile mapping provide complementary 3D information of an urban landscape: the former acquires roof structures, ground, and vegetation at a large scale, but lacks the facade and street-si…
Predicting Vegetation Stratum Occupancy from Airborne LiDAR Data with Deep Learning
We propose a new deep learning-based method for estimating the occupancy of vegetation strata from airborne 3D LiDAR point clouds. Our model predicts rasterized occupancy maps for three vegetation strata corresponding to…
Deep LearningregressionAlignment Performance of FSOC in Stratosphere and to the Ground Station
Airborne platforms, such as drones, balloons, and aerostats, have recently gained considerable interest in the communication sector. Free-space optical communication (FSOC) systems can deliver information wirelessly at h…
Lidar-Assisted Acquisition of Mobile Airborne FSO Terminals in a GPS-Denied Environment
For acquisition of narrow-beam free-space optical (FSO) terminals, a Global Positioning System (GPS) is typically required for coarse localization of the terminal. However, the GPS signal may be shadowed, or may not be p…
