The data furnished by EOTS is more precise and accurate in consideration with the law o.f Physics. Also, with modern day technologies like RF-jammer, stealth technology etc., EOTS offers the only solution for the T&E of such targets as a tracking system. The system has been used since 1950 s and continues to be a prime instrumentation system in the field of T&E.

The implementation is motivated by the fact that sufficient studies have not been carried out earlier on hardware realization of video algorithms since major focus in the research community has been on analyzing algorithms from a software perspective and many a times ignoring the hardware board level aspects which are very critical from the defence point of view. This paper is a novel attempt to bridge this gap and present the practical considerations of video processing algorithms when run on hardware boards. We utilize both a general purpose board namely Raspberry Pi 3 as well as a dedicated video processing board namely TI's DaVinci DM6437 to show the performance of existing video algorithms so that when prototype development is carried out the designer could tradeoff performance and cost aspects depending on the application scenario. Primary focus in this work is on the utility of video processing algorithms for surveillance applications like UAV's and missiles.","PeriodicalId":344816,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd International Conference on Range Technology (ICORT)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132641071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a fast and efficient template matching method that uses difference of sum norms (L2 norm) as bounding measure that rapidly eliminates large number of mismatching candidates identifying only small number of locations on which the computation of normalized cross correlation (NCC) function is carried out. This method ensures high degree of detection accuracy and furnishes the same result as the full search NCC algorithm. Experimental comparison has been done with existing fast methods using number of real image data sets consisting of small to very large size images with number of template images varying in size. The results show that the proposed algorithm is significantly faster than the other fast matching algorithms.","PeriodicalId":344816,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd International Conference on Range Technology (ICORT)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128415610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
