A coaxial alignment method for large aircraft component assembly using distributed monocular vision
摘要： The assembly of large component in out-field is an important part for the usage and maintenance of aircrafts, which is mostly manually accomplished at present, as the commonly used large-volume measurement systems are usually inapplicable. This paper aims to propose a novel coaxial alignment method for large aircraft component assembly using distributed monocular vision.

Measurement of UV radiation in commercial aircraft
摘要： Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) is significantly higher at aviation altitudes with respect to sea level due to weaker attenuation by the atmosphere. At higher flight levels clear sky conditions cause permanent direct sunlight during the daytime hours. The transmittance of cockpit windshields and the UVR exposure of pilots have become subject of research due to the association of UVR with cataracts, carcinoma, melanoma and accelerated skin aging. In this work, the spectral properties of several windshields under flight conditions are investigated. Only one of the investigated windshields showed good UV-A attenuation. Furthermore, the altitude dependence of UV-A irradiance behind a windshield was measured with high spatial resolution. Measurements of the maximal UV irradiance behind the windshield surfaces and at the pilot’s position are compared to the recommendations by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. Some recommended limits were exceeded at the surface of the windshields with direct sunlight and a large field of view. At the pilot’s position, with a more realistic field of view, the unweighted recommended level could have been exceeded within tens of minutes by looking in the direction of the Sun without visor or other protective measures. The weighted recommended maximal UVR exposure was not exceeded, neither with the use of the visor at the pilot’s position nor without it. The use of the visor for filtering direct sunlight was very effective in terms of UV-A reduction.

摘要： We address the problem of detecting a stealth aircraft flying far away from an observer with limited visibility conditions using their multispectral signature. In such environment, the aircraft is a very low-contrast target, i.e., the target spectral signature may have a similar magnitude to the background clutter. Therefore, methods accounting only for the spectral features of the target, while leaving aside its spatial pattern, may either lead to poor detection statistics or high false alarm rate. We propose a new detection method which accounts for both spectral and spatial dispersions, by inferring level sets of the Mahalanobis transform of the multispectral image. This combines the approach of the well-known Reed Xiaoli (RX) detector with some elements of the level set methods for shapes analysis. This algorithm is in turn used to specify the wavelength bands which maximize an aircraft detection probability, for a given false alarm rate. This methodology is illustrated in a typical scenario, consisting of a daylight air-to-ground full-frontal attack by a generic combat aircraft flying at low altitude, over a database of 30 000 simulated multispectral infrared signature (IRS). The results emphasize that, in the context of aircraft detection, there is great interest in using multispectral IRS rather than integrated IRS, as long as the IR bands are well chosen.

摘要： Miniaturized hyperspectral imaging sensors are becoming available to small unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) platforms. Imaging concepts based on frame format offer an attractive alternative to conventional hyperspectral pushbroom scanners because they enable enhanced processing and interpretation potential by allowing for acquisition of the 3-D geometry of the object and multiple object views together with the hyperspectral reflectance signatures. The objective of this investigation was to study the performance of novel visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral frame cameras based on a tunable Fabry–Pérot interferometer (FPI) in measuring a 3-D digital surface model and the surface moisture of a peat production area. UAV image blocks were captured with ground sample distances (GSDs) of 15, 9.5, and 2.5 cm with the SWIR, VNIR, and consumer RGB cameras, respectively. Georeferencing showed consistent behavior, with accuracy levels better than GSD for the FPI cameras. The best accuracy in moisture estimation was obtained when using the reflectance difference of the SWIR band at 1246 nm and of the VNIR band at 859 nm, which gave a root mean square error (rmse) of 5.21 pp (pp is the mass fraction in percentage points) and a normalized rmse of 7.61%. The results are encouraging, indicating that UAV-based remote sensing could significantly improve the efficiency and environmental safety aspects of peat production.

摘要： This letter is concerned with experimental results of aircraft positioning by using terrestrial digital broadcasting signal delay. Passive bistatic radar (PBR) is expected to be a conventional primary surveillance radar alternative, and it can also achieve expanding coverage area of the conventional radar. The PBR sensors allow the detection and tracking of noncooperative targets illuminated by transmitters of opportunity such as communication systems [digital terrestrial television broadcasting (DTTB), AM/FM, 3G/LTE base stations, etc.] or conventional radar system. Especially, the DTTB signals are the most expected radio waves. In this letter, we show experimental results of aircraft positioning by using the signal delay profile of DTTB whose type is Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting–Terrestrial (ISDB-T) used in Japan. It will be shown that the ISDB-T signal delays are useful surveillance systems.

Nondestructive imaging of hidden defects in aircraft sandwich composites using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy
摘要： Aircraft sandwich composites are superior to ordinary composites and have been largely used in the manufacture of military aircraft. This study attempts to investigate the efficacy of terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) imaging technology in detecting hidden defects in aircraft glass fiber (GF) sandwich composites. The defects of various sizes, such as debonding, delamination, and multi-delamination, at different depths in GF A-sandwich structure composites with foam core, C-sandwich structure composites with honeycomb core, and sheet-to-sheet cementing structure composites were evaluated. The THz frequency-domain amplitude and time-domain amplitude imaging algorithms were used to visualize the defects simulated by ultrathin double-layer Teflon inserts. And the suitable image processing methods which include wavelet-based fusion and multiscale edge representation were employed. With a combination of high-resolution THz C-scan and B-scan imaging, both the horizontal size and location, and the vertical depth and thickness of the defects were obtained in three dimensions. This study experimentally demonstrated that THz imaging technology can clearly detect various hidden defects in aircraft GF sandwich composites through reflection or transmission imaging mode.

Comparing sUAS Photogrammetrically-Derived Point Clouds with GNSS Measurements and Terrestrial Laser Scanning for Topographic Mapping
摘要： Interest in small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) for topographic mapping has significantly grown in recent years, driven in part by technological advancements that have made it possible to survey small- to medium-sized areas quickly and at low cost using sUAS aerial photography and digital photogrammetry. Although this approach can produce dense point clouds of topographic measurements, they have not been tested extensively to provide insights on accuracy levels for topographic mapping. This case study examines the accuracy of a sUAS-derived point cloud of a parking lot located at the Citizens Bank Arena (CBA) in Ontario, California, by comparing it to ground control points (GCPs) measured using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data corrected with real-time kinematic (RTK) and to data from a terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) survey. We intentionally chose a flat surface due to the prevalence of flat scenes in sUAS mapping and the challenges they pose for accurately deriving vertical measurements. When the GNSS-RTK survey was compared to the sUAS point cloud, the residuals were found to be on average 18 mm and ?20 mm for the horizontal and vertical components. Furthermore, when the sUAS point cloud was compared to the TLS point cloud, the average difference observed in the vertical component was 2 mm with a standard deviation of 31 mm. These results indicate that sUAS imagery can produce point clouds comparable to traditional topographic mapping methods and support other studies showing that sUAS photogrammetry provides a cost-effective, safe, efficient, and accurate solution for topographic mapping.
