  • ENVIRONMENTALLY-AWARE LANDING ZONE CLASSIFICATION
    Publication number: 20160027313
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a method of performing environmentally-aware landing zone classification for an aircraft includes receiving environmental sensor data indicative of environmental conditions external to the aircraft. Image sensor data indicative of terrain representing a potential landing zone for the aircraft are received. An environmentally-aware landing zone classification system of the aircraft evaluates the environmental sensor data to classify the potential landing zone relative to a database of landing zone types as environmentally-aware classification data. Geometric features of the potential landing zone are identified in the image sensor data as image-based landing zone classification data. The potential landing zone is classified and identified based on a fusion of the environmentally-aware classification data and the image-based landing zone classification data.
