Some day we will use Machine Vision to spot thermaling birds from five miles away. I'd be happy for a machine vision to spot other aircraft! It would be nice to have an anti-collision device that does not require the other aircraft to do anything more than reflect photons. |

Actually there are such optical based collision avoidance systems which scan the horizon and can detect what the eyes can't , but from some reason they did not become mainstream. Ramy |
