Direction detection system for aerial vehicles
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12000922B2) describes a system that utilizes a processor and memory circuitry to determine the position of an aerial vehicle in relation to a sensor's reference axis. The system is capable of detecting the aerial vehicle's position at a specific angle or location with respect to the sensor and calculating a cardinal direction based on this information. By obtaining the positions of the aerial vehicle and the sensor, the system can determine the orientation of geographical north relative to the reference axis, even compensating for any tilt between the camera's line of sight and the sensor's axis.
Furthermore, the patent details a method and system for detecting and tracking aerial vehicles using multiple sensors. By analyzing the positions of the aerial vehicle in relation to different sensor reference axes, the system can determine cardinal directions accurately. The patent also covers scenarios where the aerial vehicle may be located in a blind zone of a radar or antenna, proposing solutions such as delaying the transmitted signal to simulate a virtual position outside the blind zone. Overall, the patent showcases innovative technology for precise aerial vehicle tracking without the need for an inertial system, catering to applications involving UAVs or drones and offering detailed data on the relative positions and ranges of aerial vehicles over time.
