Abstract:
A pre-processor (10) for target trackers is disclosed which allows several image analysis algorithms to be computed simultaneously so as to provide improved real-time target recognition. The pre-processor (10) is also equipped to compensate for the rapid rotation of the target image when the tracking aircraft performs abrupt turning maneuvers.
