ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the applicability of contemporary optoelectronic systems supported by image processing
algorithms in aviation. Optoelectronic systems can support the pilot’s work or the work of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
operator after being installed in the cockpit of the pilot or in a ground station. The origin of the problem is related to the aspects
of safe operation of the aircraft in the conditions of dynamically changing ambient light observed by the aircraft pilot or operator
monitoring the monitor at the ground station and observing the image from the camera installed on the UAV. The proposed solution
is to help avoid situations in which the pilot’s/operator’s situational awareness deteriorates due to strong optical phenomena.
