Abstract

This work describes a hardware implementation of a precision image tracking system which employs a CCD camera mounted on pan/tilt device. Unknown translation between two successive images of a moving object is estimated by using a generalized least-squares method. Estimated position error obtained by the tracking algorithm is used to drive DC motors built in the pan/tilt device for the camera to follow the image. An experimental result shows a sub-resolution tracking error for a image moving with a uniform velocity.
