<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stabilize a target image formed on an image plane of an imaging device located in a moving vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: A method includes the steps of: setting an origin in the image plane of an imaging device50 located in a moving vehicle 20 at an intersection of a first axis Xi, a second axis Yi and a third axis Zi, imaging a target 30 so that an image centroid of the image may be at the origin of the image plane, monitoring sensor data indicative of a motion of the vehicle by means of a sensor 60, and generating pan and tilt output to stabilize the image centroid at the origin in the image plane to calibrate for vehicle motion and target motion. The pan and tilt output are generated by implementing exponentially stabilizing control laws on the basis of the sensor data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
