Unmanned aerial vehicle collision avoidance system

This invention describes a system for piloted aircraft to avoid collisions with drones. It uses a forward-facing video camera to capture visible images of the flight path. An onboard computer then analyzes these images in real-time to spot any drones and generate an alert for the pilot.

Why it matters: Filed in 2016, this invention relies on image processing to detect UAVs. Since then, AI-powered computer vision and real-time object detection algorithms have advanced significantly, making such detection more accurate and efficient.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedReal-time computer vision software, robust camera
