Discrete Analog Processing for Tracking and Guidance Control
Abstract
Implementation of the Taylor Series Video Image Processing (TSVIP) algorithm for tracking and guidance is presented using an HP 2100 digital computer to solve the equation. Closed loop system operation was achieved using a Reticon 100 x 100 matrix photodiode camera, a microprocessor controlled A/D converter as an interference to supply signals to the computer and pan tilt servoes operating from computer generated signals to control camera position. Tentative studies of CCD implementation including experimental data are presented for eventual elimination of the digital computer. Alternate algorithm studies compare the capabilities of complementing and supplementing methods to the TSVIP. A hierarchy of algorithms is anticipated for eventual practical implementation.
