IMAGE BASED LANDING SOLUTIONS FOR LARGE PASSENGER AIRCRAFT - IMBALS
Description
Scope: develop, validate and verify a certifiable Image Processing Platform (IPP) and demonstrate it in a Vision Landing System (VLS) that is capable of auto landing the Large Passenger Aircraft (LPA) based on images supplied by a camera system and without support of ground based precision instrument landing aids.
Objectives: deliver an IPP (Image Processing Platform) embedding the Image Based Landing software and algorithms answering classical landing system requirements.
Airbus Operations in Toulouse (France) acts as topic manager for the IMBALS project and teams up with the IMBALS consortium led by ScioTeq. This consortium includes the University of Leuven (Belgium), Sol.One (Belgium) and Tekever ASDS (Portugal).
