Target orientation estimation using Fourier energy spectrum
D.V.S. Chandra · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems · 1998
Orientation estimation is an essential step in autonomous navigation, automatic target recognition, part handling, and many other machine vision applications. A procedure is presented to estimate the orientation of the target using spectral energy distribution in the Fourier domain. The performance of this technique is determined by conducting simulation experiments on a set of infrared images containing military targets.
