Abstract
In this paper, we propose a real-time window tracking algorithm for cooperative high-speed aerial targets via optical cameras on satellites. It includes three parts: (1) The relative motion relation between the predicted orbits of the satellite and the aerial target is constructed based on the orbital dynamic theory; (2) The relative position vector is projected to the camera coordinate system; (3) The angular deviation from the relative Line-of-Sight (LoS) between the target and the camera to the optical axis of the camera is calculated. Finally, the window tracking algorithm is implemented on a typical aerial target. Simulation results show that, by using the proposed window tracking algorithm, the angular dispersion of the target in the focal plane of the camera is lower than 0.11% when the swing mirror adjustable speed is less than 2.40 degree per second. The tracking precision is better than 0.53% during the whole tracking measurement process.
