Detection and Tracking Techniques for Infrared Searching and Tracking System with Robust Control System

Abstract

: Infrared searching and tracking system is the heart of modern armament system generally used in air defense and missile shields system. The IRSTs used in fighter aircraft, tanks and missile defense systems to passively search, detect, track, classify, and decides their priorities in multiple airborne targets under all aspects and engage the target from long ranges as possible. In this paper, authors have proposed a new concept in which all three units i.e. IR channel, TV camera, and LRF are installed in a single optical window. Also, studies have been done on various detection and tracking algorithms for multiple airborne targets in clusters, clouds and noisy environmental conditions and authors have find out a suitable algorithm and control system for IRST system.
