Abstract
The Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) plays a significant role in the Next-Generation low visibility aircraft landing technology, where the involvement of optical sensing systems increases the visual dimension for pilots. This paper focuses on deploying infrared and visible image fusion systems in civil flight, particularly generating integrated results to contend with registration deviation and adverse weather conditions. The existing enhancement methods push ahead with metrics-driven integration, while the dynamic distortion and the continuous visual scene are overlooked in the landing stage. Hence, the proposed visual enhancement scheme is divided into homography estimation and image fusion based on deep learning. A lightweight framework integrating hardware calibration and homography estimation is designed for image calibration before fusion and reduces the offset between image pairs. The transformer structure adopting the self-attention mechanism in distinguishing composite properties is incorporated into a concise autoencoder to construct the fusion strategy, and the improved weight allocation strategy enhances the feature combination. These things considered, a flight verification platform accessing the performances of different algorithms is built to capture image pairs in the landing stage. Experimental results confirm the equilibrium of the proposed scheme in perception-inspired and feature-based metrics compared to other approaches.
