13. A real-time aircraft stress monitoring system comprising:
-
elliptical targets associated with a wing of an aircraft; a camera system configured to generate images of the elliptical targets on the wing during operation of the aircraft, wherein the elliptical targets in the images are circular based on an angle of the camera system to the elliptical targets; and a monitor that measures a movement of the elliptical targets using the images and identifies stress in the wing based on the movement of the elliptical targets. - View Dependent Claims (14)
