Abstract
We discuss the problem of estimating the state of a dynamic object by using observed images generated by an optical system. The work aims to implement a novel approach that would ensure improved accuracy of dynamic object tracking using a sequence of images. We utilize a vector model that describes the object image as a limited number of vertexes (reference points). Upon imaging, the object of interest is assumed to be retained at the center of each frame, so that the motion parameters can be considered as projections onto the axes of a coordinate system matched with the camera's optical axis. The novelty of the approach is that the observed parameters (the distance along the optical axis and angular attitude) of the object are calculated using the coordinates of specified points in the object images. For estimating the object condition, a Kalman-Bucy filter is constructed on the assumption that the dynamic object motion is described by a set of equations for the translational motion of the center of mass along the optical axis and variations in the angular attitude relative to the image plane. The efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated by an example of estimating the object's angular attitude.
