Automated Video Tracker

In the Pan and tilt system, Tracking camera and laser source mounted on the two axes pedestal is used to track the object. The laser is used to illuminate the object in the track axis. The pedestal is an elevation over azimuth configuration. Closed loop motion control of pan tilt pedestal in each axis will keep the object tracked continuously. The CCD camera images the object in the field of view. These images are acquired through a frame grabber at fast rate. The frames are image processed to identify the required features of the object field. The tracking algorithm can operate in centroid, correlation or edge detection modes and can generate error angles with respect to reference to the object centre.
