摘要：	Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) require aircraft surveillance and monitoring for safety and security. Persistent tracking of flying objects provides Air Traffic Control (ATC) and Air Traffic Management (ATM) continuous coverage and knowledge of the National Airspace System (NAS). Future AAM and UAM operations will have more aircraft than commercial aircraft in the NAS, coupled with the dense AAM/UAM operations in urban environments, so employing the existing ATC/ATM architectures poses considerable challenges. A first step in creating a similar ATC/ATM architecture for AAM/UAM will require ground-based and airborne sensors to provide monitoring. This paper proposes a vision-based tracking method with static cameras by utilizing image subtraction and blob detection, which avoids adding additional electromagnetic interferences in the environment with sensors such as radar. The Ground-Based Vision Tracker (GBVT) outputs the detected objects’ azimuth and elevation angles from Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) flight tests. Future and ongoing work includes sending the detected objects’ azimuth and elevation angles as inputs for an extended Kalman filter (EKF) to estimate the position and velocity of the detected object.
