Abstract: A neural network learning method for aircraft landing assistance, the method includes receiving a set of labeled learning data comprising sensor data associated with a ground truth representing at least a landing runway and an approach light bar; running an artificial neural network deep learning algorithm on the learning data set, the deep learning algorithm using a cost function called runway threshold trapezium, parameterized for the recognition of a runway threshold and of approach light bars; and generating a trained artificial intelligence model for landing runway recognition.
