Automatic target locating system through cooperative dual-field imaging

Abstract

This paper proposes an automatic targeting locating system based on dual-field imaging to improve the stability of light weapons. The system consists of a wide field of view (WFOV) camera and a narrow field of view (NFOV) camera. The WFOV camera searches the pedestrian in the scenery, the other camera tracks the pedestrian and aims it accurately. Video signal is send to the processing unit PC and control signal is send back to the imaging system. This automatic target tracking algorithm is integrated by Adaboost and Median-Flow algorithm. It is used to track the pedestrians and locate the head of the target. Experiment results show that the dual-field imaging system and proposed algorithm has robust target tracking performance.
