Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1505556A1] The method involves recording at least two images of at least part of the surroundings of the flying machine, detecting the obstruction from the images, providing the obstruction with an identifier and outputting an associated signal in a base station. The detection and identifier allocation are conducted on board the flying machine and the identifier is transmitted to the base station. An independent claim is also included for a device for detecting a flight obstruction.
