Cooperative Perception in Multisensor Environment: the Case of the Tigre Helicopter
Sylvain Hourlier, Pr Corinne Roumes · Journal of Bioresource Management · 2007
How do Tigre pilots build a coherent situation awareness (SA) of the night world through their multiple sensors (IR and I2)? These bring numerous opportunities for pilots to misunderstand each other because of field of view (FOV), wavelength spectrum and point of view differences. After a brief review of the literature on how operators build an SA of the world, we present the field project developed to analyze the impact of sensor commonality and diversity. Realistic situations are recorded to witness how Tigre pilots "create" a mental model of the situation and develop a collaborative strategy. Crew co-construction of sense is considered through verbal and Human Machine Interface (HMI) mediated exchanges.
