Background
Increase the pilot/driver situation awareness by a reliable enhanced vision system.
The project focus on the study (and building) of an optronic sensor system dedicated to the complex
enhanced vision task:
better perception in fog/night
attention getting (vulnerable user / runway intrusion/lateral positioning).
For automotive application, simulation is focused on hazardous scenarios validated by real measurements.
For aircraft application, only simulation is used.
Projects objectives
Development of a simulation tool capable of simulating a wide range of visibility conditions
Modeling of scenario, atmosphere for different kinds of weather conditions, SWIR and LWIR sensors, 3D database for aircraft and car simulation
Implementation on simulation platforms
Validation of the feasibility of full simulation evaluation
Achievements
The general achievements of OKTAL-SE in this project are the modeling of 3D databases and environment:
Modeling of the 3D database made by OKTAL-SE
Use of OKTAL-SE software tools (SE-AGETIM, SE-PHYSICAL-MODELER, SE-CLASSIFICATION, SE-RAY-IR, SE-FAST-IR)
More precisely, the creation of landscape :
for aircraft simulation (Blagnac airport with the runways, taxiways, buildings, edge lights, threshold lights, vasi lights, …)
for driving simulation (generic 3D database with roads, trees, houses, …)
3D objects have been created (planes, cars, obstacles, …)
In the driving simulation area, scenarios have been created to be
compatible with simulation testing and real experiments:
predefined trajectories are created for the SEE driver and the moving objects (cars, motorbikes, …)
7 scenarios prepared for bad weather conditions
purpose : create a set of movies for the automotive evaluation
simulation : "man not in the loop"
