Amplitude-Modulated Sensors Could Save Pilots from Wire Hazards
Nov 1, 2013 — AM scanning laser rangefinder sensors could make less costly, lighter-weight systems for helicopter-mounted wire-warning systems. Wires represent a significant hazard for low-flying helicopters: Collisions with unobserved wire obstacles can result in helicopter or wire damage, or even injuries or fatalities. Because wires are long, thin objects, they may be difficult to detect against various backgrounds (Figure 1). Figure 1. These wires blend in with the background, becoming nearly invi...
