Terminal Aimpoint Selection Algorithm Based on Convex Hull Technique

Article Preview

Abstract:

A terminal aimpoint selection algorithm is proposed in this paper for selecting the aimpoint precisely in real time. This approach avoids complicated and time-consuming pattern matching or boundary extraction. Through the image preprocessing and corner detection, the convex hull technique is utilized to cover the target area based on Computation Geometry, where centriod of the convex hull is defined as the aimpoint of the target. The proposed algorithm promotes intelligence, efficiency and accuracy of navigation guidance systems, which is proved in the simulation.
