Abstract

Multisensor optoelectronic systems are an integral part of range instrumentation networks. The purpose of such instruments is to provide a permanent measurable record of a test or event. As applied to range tracking, the instrumentation must be capable of producing both qualitative and quantitative information on various flying objects under test. In this paper, an attempt has been made to discuss various issues related to electrooptical tracking systems and their performance study. The concept of image processing as applied to the target recognition and tracking has been analysed. A detailed discussion lies been carried out regarding the error budget estimate and the calibration methods. The associated management challenges related to the design and development of such a complex system has been highlighted
