Claim One:
1. A system for aircraft ice detection and mitigation on an aircraft, comprising: a controller; a sensor configured to identify a coverage area of the aircraft with apparently ice formation; and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored in the memory that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to: receive, from the sensor, a video signal from a first data comprising the identified apparently ice formation; generate a processed imagery from a captured video frame of the video signal; map the generated processed imagery to a discriminative feature space in response to a mapping function; generate, by the controller, a first extracted feature in response to the mapping function and the discriminative feature space; generate a behavioral model in response to the first extracted feature; and determine and confirm the ice formation on the coverage area of the aircraft in response to the first extracted feature and the behavioral model; wherein the generated processed imagery comprises pixel-level decisions over time in a form of binary masks of pixels showing regions where no ice is present and regions where ice is present corresponding to the captured video frame.
