Foreign Object Debris Detection on the Runway Based on Wavelet Method

Depending on image processing system, a major sub-system in foreign object debris (FOD) detecting system on the runway, FOD image will be observed efficiently and rapidly with few economy costs and highly accuracy and reliability so as to ensure the passengers safety. The thesis analyses the characteristics and principles of wavelet transformation and applies the theory in image processing under poor visual background for identifying the FODs shape and mark characteristic point on the runway by programming in MATLAB. Besides that, it brings about profound significance for realizing the real-time detecting on the FOD and testing the feasibility and efficiency.
