Remote Thermal Signature Point Target Acquisition System Using Continuous PID Algorithm and Thermal Image Filtration for UAV Systems

Abstract

The aspects relating to unmanned aircraft and their target acquisition systems are continuously being developed. The subject of the study is a target acquisition system with a thermal camera. A control system is presented consisting of three subsystems. Open- and closed-loop control systems are used. Experimental results unambiguously show that this is a promising line of research and form the basis for further efforts on the topic.
