An Infrared and Visible Image Alignment Method Based on Gradient Distribution Properties and Scale-Invariant Features in Electric Power Scenes by Lin Zhu, Yuxing Mao, Chunxu Chen, Lanjia Ning

“…Third, the Histogram of Orientation Gradients (HOG) is extracted as the gradient distribution characteristics of the feature points, which are normalised with the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm to form feature descriptors. Finally, initial matching and accurate matching are achieved by the improved fast approximate nearest-neighbour matching method and adaptive thresholding, respectively. …”

A Causal Model for Safety Assessment Purposes in Opening the Low-Altitude Urban Airspace of Chinese Pilot Cities by Jun Tang, Wenyuan Yang

“…To guarantee the high reliability of air traffic management (ATM), conflict detection and conflict resolution (CDR) approaches are indispensable to maintain safe separation between neighbouring small fixed-wing aircraft. In this study, we analyse a temporal and spatial integrated strategy for safety assessment purposes in opening the low-altitude urban airspace of Chinese pilot cities. …”
