Abstract:

Real-time video RTV tracking concepts are developed for tracking high performance targets in noisy background scenes. Image processing techniques are combined with parallel processing methods to perform a statistical analysis of a TV image, partition the picture into target and background components, perform a structural analysis of the target image, and control the tracking optics to form an automatic tracking system.
