Vision Improvement for Pilots Possible with Method Developed by Iranian Researchers

TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers at Amirkabir University of Technology managed to improve the depth of field for pilots for preventing accidents.

They implemented a project for "improving the depth of the pilot's field to avoid collision with the ground" to prevent delays and accidents caused by lack of visibility during the landing phase.

For safe landing, methods such as the use of navigation aids have been able to meet the needs of pilots in most cases.

But if these devices are damaged or if bad weather conditions have limited visibility, using these systems is misleading and may lead to landing accidents.

In these cases, the aircraft may hit the ground or obstacles that are not seen due to the lack of proper vision.

Meanwhile, the use of conventional navigation aids is common only in developed countries.

So, due to the lack of necessary infrastructure, it is impossible to use them in less developed countries.

In this project, to properly display the flight area and improve the depth of the pilot's eyesight for a safe landing, a 3D model for landing is presented.

This model can be used in the aviation industry for commercial and passenger planes.

Therefore, by spending far less money, we will no longer witness accidents due to a lack of knowledge, understanding, and attention to the environment.

The foreign model of the system is the Flight Vision System (FVS) and the Artificial Vision System (SVS), which does not include the main feature of Iranian design, namely the human eye depth perception algorithm.

In this line, the Iranian design enjoys some advantages including the environment which it uses is similar to what humans observe in the real environment. In addition, it increases the user's focus on the landing area when using the system.

Considering that the pilot has a direct impact on the approach and landing phase, his or her fatigue, skill, and sensitivity can affect the decision-making.

So, it is important to use a system that, in addition to providing visual information, has a positive effect on making the right decision and reducing the pilot’s workload.

This design helps in safe landing and reducing the pilot's workload by properly displaying the flight area, improving the depth of the pilot's field, and designing a 3D model landing system.

Also, by using the system in airplanes, flight delays and accidents due to limited visibility will be avoided.
