  • Quantitative Blockage Analysis Of A Grid In Icing Conditions
    Publication number: 20190185185
    Abstract: An analysis system for quantitative blockage analysis of a grid in icing conditions includes an optical sensor, a processor unit and a display unit. The optical sensor is configured to continuously capture a series of pictures of a grid and to submit each picture to the processor unit. The processor unit is configured to determine a color scale value for each of a number of areas in a field of each picture, to count a number of areas in a particular field of a particular picture that show a color scale value greater than an absolute reference value, to calculate a time remaining until a critical icing condition is reached based on an icing behavior model of the grid, to calculate a warning signal based on the time remaining until the critical icing condition of the grid is reached, and to display the warning signal on the display unit.

  • Method and system for measuring the thickness of ice on a surface, notably of an aircraft, using a luminous pattern generated by diffusion in the ice
    Patent number: 9568305
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an estimate of the thickness of the ice regardless of the shape of its surface at the level of the air/ice interface. To this end the system and method measure an intensity profile of a luminous pattern generated by diffusion in the ice, which enables the system to measure the thickness of the ice even when the air/ice surface is not plane.
