Research on the feasibility of object detection technology in airport airspace control

Abstract

The rapid development of the civil aviation field has made people pay more attention to aviation safety. This paper discusses the application of target detection technology in airport airspace control. Airport airspace control includes many aspects, and this article focuses on bird strike prevention. For the target detection technology, we selected three target detection technologies, HOG+SVM, RCNN and YOLO for discussion and comparison. Considering the application scenarios and real-time requirements of bird strike prevention, YOLO was finally selected for feasibility experiment. Experiments with YOLO got pretty good results, YOLO can successfully detect flying birds in the airport scene. This proves the feasibility of the application of object detection technology in airport airspace control.
