  • Publication number: 20230377328
    Abstract: A method of generating a peripheral image of an aircraft having pixels obtained from a plurality of cameras equipping the aircraft. The method is implemented by an electronic generation device. The method comprises a step of receiving a position of a peripheral point of view from which the peripheral image is to be generated. The method comprises steps of obtaining an orientation of the aircraft and of acquisition of a respective image from each camera. The method comprises a step of calculating a respective transfer function for each camera, each transfer function being intended for being applied to a pixel of the peripheral image so as to identify a possible corresponding pixel of the acquired image associated with the transfer function. The method comprises a step of generating the peripheral image from the images acquired from each camera and from each calculated transfer function.

  • Publication number: 20230205204
    Abstract: Method for controlling an unmanned aircraft piloted by a fully autonomous control system including a first decision module and a simplex piloting control module including a high-performance controller, a high-safety controller and a second decision module, the high-performance and high-safety controllers determining piloting commands for the robot-aircraft, according to which: —as long as a set of conditions is verified, implementation by the first decision module of a nominal piloting mode with delivery to the output of the automatic control system of the piloting commands delivered to the output of the simplex piloting control module; —otherwise, switching to an emergency piloting mode, an emergency piloting command is delivered to the output of the automatic control system for execution by the robot-aircraft, the first decision module preventing the delivery to the output of the automatic control system of the piloting commands delivered to the output of the simplex module.

  • Patent number: 10690925
    Abstract: A dual harmonization method for a worn head-up display system for making the display of piloting information of an aircraft on a display conform with the outside real world includes a step of acquisition of N measurements {circumflex over (K)}? of head posture detection by a series of sightings Vi corresponding to images oriented according to orientations Oi of one and the same photograph taken by a camera, secured to and aligned with the attitude inertial device D3, then a step of joint computation of the matrices of relative orientation M01 and M23 as joint solutions of the dual harmonization Ûi=?·{circumflex over (K)}i·{circumflex over (D)}, i varying from 1 to N, in which Û? is the transpose of the matrix M(image(i)/0) of relative orientation of the image(i) of rank i relative to the display D0, with M01 and M23 respectively equal to the right and left matrices {circumflex over (D)} and ?. A worn head-up display system is configured to implement the dual harmonization method.

  • Publication number: 20180183691
    Abstract: A computer assembly for identifying and managing data comprises a server including software providing a determined function transforming input data into output data. The computer system comprises: a first system and a second system, the first system being a critical system; a first digital interface for monitoring the identifier of the data and bidirectionally transmitting data between the server and the critical system; a first physical interface for physically linking the first digital interface with the critical system; a second digital interface for monitoring and bidirectionally transmitting data between the server and the second system; a second physical interface for physically linking the second digital interface with the second system.

  • Publication number: 20080270784
    Abstract: The invention relates to systems provide with control devices comprising an important number of displaying devices for displaying an important number of parameters according to accurate configurations, as for example, a modern aircraft instrument panel provided with several displays. The inventive method for configuring or reconfiguring the totality of displaying devices consists in inducing said configuration or reconfiguration by an event. Each elementary configuration is substantially obtainable by means of a reconfiguration logic language and an interpreter algorithm, wherein said logic language substantially comprises a reconfiguration domain, properties, transition rules, and preferences and said interpreter algorithm makes it possible to convert each transition rule into a list of elementary reconfiguration.
