Abstract	We present a novel approach for combined object detection, ranging and tracking that can be used during the landing of aircraft. The objective is to alert pilots if their aircraft is in immediate danger of flying into the ground or an obstacle. This is to avoid accidents or any other calamity caused by a moving or stationary object by detecting the object prior to approaching the same. The input to the system is a real-time video sequence recorded by a stereoscopic camera mounted on the moving aircraft. The system detects the stationary and moving objects and tracks those in the consecutive frames of the video sequence. The tracking is carried out using Particle filter and the distance to the tracked objects is continuously monitored. The stationary objects are detected using a combination of Watershed segmentation and Otsu thresholding and the distance to the detected objects are estimated. The objects are classified based on their presence in either of the two proximity warning zones such as danger zone or safe zone. Visual highlighting is made according to the distance of the object from the aircraft.
