This is source code in Matlab which implements a pipeline for runway edge detection, and uses it to predict above ground altitude. Refer to the project report for the methodology. A beamer presentation is also included.

The entry file is processVideo.m. It processes the video file data/test1.avi and uses data/test.bkgnd.png as a mask.

Sample processed results are available on youtube.

I'd love to see this implemented on a phone some day!
