Trajectory optimization with detection avoidance for visually identifying an aircraft
… in a manner that allows a ground operator to visually identify the suspected aircraft while avoiding visual/electronic detection from the other pilot. This thesis applies and compares three methods for producing trajectories which enable a visual identification. The first approach is …

A method of defllectometry based on photogrammetry
… test surface with a single distorted cor-ner for visual identification and alignment. Experiments are run by performing a system‑slope measurement of the test surface under different system condi-tions, environments, and camera settings. Validation of the results is provided by laser scanning of …
