Abstract
An object descent detection system and method is disclosed herein. The method for detecting whether an object is falling includes determining geopotential heights of the object and actuating a response when a change in geopotential heights occurs.
Claims20
A method for detecting whether an object is falling comprising:
- determining geopotential heights of the object;
- and
- actuating a response when a change in geopotential heights occurs.
A system comprising:
- an object identifying geopotential heights;
- and
- a global object safety system in communication with the object determining an action based on the geopotential heights.
An object comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing program instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
- detect a location of the object through a global positioning system;
- determine temperature and humidity information for the location from meteorological data;
- identify a geometric height of the object;
- convert the geometric height to geopotential height;
- calculate a pressure altitude;
- calculate a density altitude;
- provide a global object safety system with the geometric height, pressure altitude, and density altitude;
- receive a response from the global object safety system;
- implement an action based on the response.
