Sector Visibility Assessment – Large North American ANSP

Searidge was contracted to perform a feasibility investigating the possibility of using commercial-off-the-shelf cameras to provide reliable automated sector visibility data. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility of enhancing weather monitoring at weather observation sites across the country. The hardware selected for the study was evaluated for its performance in extreme weather conditions.

The study showed the possibility of evaluating visibility conditions by detecting the presence of markers in the camera’s field of view. These markers were chosen from clear day images, and from these a comparison is made against the current image to report a maximum visibility distance.

Automated Weather Observation using Digital Cameras – Large North American ANSP

Searidge has been contracted to provide a system capable of monitoring weather in 130 sites across the country. This modernized, digital-weather-camera system being supplied by Searidge Technologies will provide various video analytics to video scenes in real-time, and report on sector visibility, amongst other functions. The system will help to promote flight safety by providing current weather conditions to pilots by assisting them in making timely weather-related decisions with confidence. The system will provide real-time camera data showing the weather information of a given location, and additional information such as sector visibility.

‘Marine Exclusion Zone’ Detection - Airport in Toronto, Canada

Searidge was selected to provide a solution for the monitoring of the Marine Exclusion Zone (MEZ) and the surrounding protected area at the Toronto City Center Airport. The airport is currently expanding its facilities resulting in direct visibility of the MEZ being affected. The deployment involves the installation of Searidge’s IMD display product providing the controller with a view of the MEZ and the protected area established in the vicinity of the airport. It is critical that all vessels operating around the MEZ be detected and tracked in order to ensure and maintain regular operations.
