This paper describes the design and implementation scheme of HTS(Helmet Tracking System) providing coincident LOS(Line of Sight) between aircraft and HMD(Helmet Mounted Display) which displays flight and mission information on Pilot helmet. The functionality and performance of HMD system depends on the performance of helmet tracking system. The target of HTS system design is to meet real-time performance and reliability by predicting non-periodic latency and high accuracy performance. To prove an availability of a proposed approach, a robust hybrid scheme with a fusion optical and inertial tracking system are tested through a implemented test-bed. Experimental results show real-time and reliable tracking control in spite of external errors.

It is important to secure the driver's external field view in armored vehicles surrounded by iron armor for preparation for the enemy's firepower. For this purpose, a 360 degree rotatable surveillance camera is mounted on the vehicle. In this case, the key idea is to recognize the head of the driver wearing a helmet so that the external camera rotated in exactly the same direction. In this paper, we introduce a method that uses a MEMS-based AHRS sensor and a illuminance sensor to compensate for the disadvantages of the existing optical method and implements it with low cost. The key idea is to set the direction of the camera by using the difference between the Euler angles detected by two sensors mounted on the camera and the helmet, and to adjust the direction with illuminance sensor from time to time to remove the drift error of sensors. The implemented prototype will show the camera's direction matches exactly in driver's one.
