Methods of obtaining miss distance based on image measurement technology

Abstract

In the future war, with the constant improvement of moving velocity and mobility of the shooting target, the shooting precision of the weapon system has been seriously challenged. Closed loop shoot emendation is an effective method to improve the shooting precision of weapon system whose key problem is the measurement of projectile miss distance. During the spotting process using conventional method, miss distance is mostly observed by optical sight or visualization in which equipment is simple, human factor has great influence and dependence on personnel quality is great. Therefore it cannot guarantee high firing accuracy. In recent years many domestic scholars proposed various methods to measure miss distance by using photoelectric sensor. With the advantage of good confidentiality, great accuracy and reliable stability, photoelectric sensor is getting more and more prominent in the measurement of miss distance. © 2012 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
