Evaluation Of Scene-Matching Concepts For Autonomous Acquisition Terminal Homing
Martin Svedlow · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1980
Advanced scene matching concepts for application to autonomous terminal homing have been investigated as part of the Autonomous Terminal Homing Program. ATH program objectives are to develop a precision terminal guidance system for fixed targets capable of operating successfully during both day/night and adverse weather conditions using synthetically generated references. Scene matching issues and a conceptual framework to address these issues are presented. Functional comparisons between different processing components are summarized, and suggested approaches to the development of a robust scene matching processor are presented.
