Estudo do uso de processamento digital de imagens na determinação do acúmulo de borracha em pistas de pousos e decolagens

Abstract

In view of the growing volume of air traffic and together with an increasing need to perform maintenance on airport runways (PPDs), PPD evaluation techniques are being researched to improve decision-making regarding maintenance and examination of runway quality. This requires a fast and effective alternative that can assess the runway as a whole and return a reliable parameter. One possible mechanism is to examine the PPD by images and perform processing on them that returns the necessary data. This paper develops a study on the use of satellite digital image processing (DIP) of the PPD of the Pinto Martins International Airport in Fortaleza applied to the areas of rubber accumulation. The study was done with images captured via Google Earth and used macrotexture and friction coefficient data from the airport PPD. In light of this, it can be seen that the use of PDI has significant potential to establish a metric for evaluating the surfaces of PPDs and methods of capture and processing can be better developed to expand its potential in decision making.
