  • Publication number: 20220011786
    Abstract: An acoustic detection system of an aircraft receives a first signal, where the first signal is a multichannel audio signal. The multichannel audio signal is determined to be associated with at least one intruding aircraft based on the multichannel audio signal. An avoidance maneuver is commanded for the aircraft based on a track of the intruding aircraft generated based on the multichannel audio signal and a second signal providing additional information about the intruding aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20210225182
    Abstract: An audio signal received at audio sensors of an aircraft is analyzed to determine directional information for a source of the audio signal. A location of the source of the audio signal is determined based on the directional information for the source of the audio signal.

  • Patent number: 10466361
    Abstract: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to associating disparate tracks from multiple sensor inputs for observed objects. In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to receiving a first input from a first sensor and a second input from a second sensor, generating the disparate tracks including first sensor tracks and second sensor tracks for the observed objects that correspond to the first input and the second input. The method includes identifying correlations between the first sensor tracks and the second sensor tracks by computing association likelihoods between the first tracks and the second tracks within a permutation matrix according to an objective cost function. The method includes controlling a vehicle according to the correlations.

  • Patent number: 10139823
    Abstract: A method and device for effecting vehicle control is presented. The method includes receiving driving map data, which includes vehicle target data relative to a vehicle location data. The driving map data is processed to produce desired vehicle operational data, the desired vehicle operational data facilitates a vehicle to traverse a travel route. From the desired vehicle operational data vehicle, corresponding actuator control data is produced, and transmitted to effect vehicle control in either of the autonomous or driver-assisted modes.
