Abstract
With the focus on the taxi guidance phase where an airplane runs on a taxi-way, this paper investigates how to build a navigation system which not only measures the airplane's position precisely but also detects obstacles in its path to avoid collision. For that purpose, the system combines the kinematic GPS with camera images. The idea is to detect obstacles by calculating the difference between the synthetic vision made by position and attitude data of the kinematic GPS and the camera images. Carrying the system, the airplane will be able to perform the autonomous traffic control for the taxi guidance phase.
