Abstract :
Future digital avionics systems will work in complex and cluttered environments which require systems engineering solutions for such applications as airport ground surface management. In this paper, we highlight the use of a L1 video tracker for monitoring activities at an airport. We present methods of information fusion, entity detection, and activity analysis using airport videos for runway detection and terminal events. For coordinated airport security, automated ground surveillance enhances efficient and safe maneuvers for unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) operation at airport environments.
