Platform Camera Aircraft Detection for Approach Evaluation and Training
Approach training currently relies solely on manual observation and verbal feedback to the pilot. This project aims to provide both pilots and Landing Signal Officers (LSOs) with valuable information about individual approaches in the carrier landing environment. The project will investigate fully automatic data acquisition by means of computer vision-based analysis of platform camera video. The obtained data supports enhanced LSO training, real-time approach analysis, and pilot self-improvement through advanced review capabilities.
