Measuring the Velocity and Orientation of Mortar Shaped Projectiles by Using the Automated Computer Vision Analysis Method

Abstract

This is an attempt to extend the automated video analysis of artillery projectile launches to analyze mortar launches as well. Through simulations and synthetic video, the method is shown to be capable of quantifying mortar launches. Test video from a real test is also evaluated.
