Visual monitoring of airport ground operations

Accidents during ground operations at airports result in substantial losses to the air transportation industry. Automated monitoring of airport ground operations can lead to cost effective strategies to reduce such accidents, either through pro-active warning systems or through feedback for improved training. This paper reviews ongoing work by the authors on automated surveillance in heavily mechanized industries with a focus on the application of the algorithms to airport monitoring. In particular, the focus is automated surveillance of airport ground operations in non-movement areas.
