Bird Strike

Bird strikes, collisions between birds and aircraft, pose a significant safety and economic threat to the aviation industry. Current research focuses on improving bird movement prediction, employing machine learning models like Long Short-Term Memory networks to enhance flight planning and mitigate strike risk. The development of large, publicly available datasets of bird imagery from real-world airport settings is crucial for training and validating these predictive models, ultimately aiming to reduce the frequency and severity of bird strikes. This research directly impacts aviation safety and operational efficiency.
