  • Method for detecting the presence of ice crystals in an environment
    Patent number: 10640218
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting the presence of ice crystals in an environment, implemented by a detection device in relative motion with respect to said environment, said method comprising at least: an emission step, in which at least one optical radiation is emitted by the detection device into the environment; a reception step, in which at least a portion of the emitted optical radiation is received, a step of calculating a comparison signal, and a step of calculating the noise of the comparison signal, a thresholding step, in which the noise is compared to a defined threshold, a communication step, in which a signal indicating detection of the presence of ice crystals in the environment is transmitted when the noise is greater than the defined threshold.
