SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR AVOIDING GROUND BLINDNESS IN A VEHICLE

摘要

Provided is a method, system, and computer program product for avoiding ground blindness in a vehicle. The method includes capturing, with a detection device, a plurality of frames of three-dimensional data over a time period while the vehicle is approaching a landing zone, the plurality of frames of three- dimensional data representing a region associated with the landing zone, generating a rolling point cloud map for the region by combining, with at least one processor during the time period, a subset of the plurality of frames, determining, with the at least one processor, a ground blindness event occurring in the region during the time period, in response to determining the blindness event occurring in the region, excluding at least one frame from the subset of the plurality of frames used to generate the rolling point cloud map for the region, determining, with at least one processor, position data representing a position of the vehicle based on at least one sensor, and generating, with the at least one processor, an output based on the rolling point cloud map and the position data.
