Adaptive Laser Pointing and Tracking Problem
Abstract
The digital implementation of a negating phase shift that operates perfectly under ideal conditions was a major accomplishment. The establishment of a zero level of 10 to the -8th power was also significant. The incorporation of the exponential smoothing technique to minimize the effect of measurement noise was important since it uncovered a possible connection between the size of the target image and its performance throughout the pattern recognition process. However, the major obstacle that surface during the execution of this project was a filter divergence problem. It has been proposed that this problem can be solved by implementing the Fourier transform derivative property instead of the forward-backward difference method to compute the spatial derivative of the non-linear h function.
