I predict we're going to see a lot of these collisions. While you'd hope that the rusty texture on that goal post crossbar would be trackable, the bar is largely featureless. When the two cameras see the same horizontal feature, the stereo vision depth perception can't obtain a fix. We're going to see collisions with power and telephone cables. It's a certainty.
In order to prevent that, you would need three cameras per orthogonal direction.
This means that pilots will still have to pay attention to their surroundings (shocker!) especially looking out for long horizontal features. The coverage is significantly improved, but it still has week spots, Look at the location of the APAS cameras and imagine each pair being your eyes, each pair will have difficulty calculating the distance to a line that "joins" the two.
Hope that helps |
