The application provides a window tracking method and
system suitable for real-time tracking and measurement of small targets in the air. The
relative motion relationship between a measurement
satellite and a
small target in the air is calculated according to the
dynamic data of the measurement
satellite and the
small target in the air within a measurement time, and the angular position change function of the target relative to the
satellite measurement camera
visual axis is solved. A suitable tracking window is designed within the
field of view of the measurement camera. When the target moves out of the tracking window, the
visual axis is quickly adjusted within a certain time, and when the
visual axis adjustment is completed, the target is just moved to the center position of the
field of view, and the visual axis is repeatedly kept-adjusted-kept to complete the window tracking of the cooperative target. The method is reasonable and easy to implement, and solves the problems of continuous adjustment of the tracking visual axis direction and large on-board calculation load when the measurement satellite and the target are moving at high speed in the air.
