Abstract

Disclosed herein is a collection and dissemination system and method for attain structure characteristics information directly from encoded light signals produced by lights mounted to structures. An exemplary aircraft includes a light receiver, a data communication device, a processor, and a memory device. The light receiver receives light from a light-emitting device mounted to a structure. The memory device stores computer-executable code configured to cause the processor to perform steps of converting the light received by the light receiver into a data signal and transmitting the data signal to a navigation server via the data communication device, a network node, and a network.
