Infrared and visible light fusion tracking-based ship water cannon control system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an infrared and visible light fusion tracking-based ship water cannon control system and method. The system comprises a photoelectric tracking system, a control computer and awater cannon servo control system, wherein the photoelectric tracking system comprises an infrared and visible light camera and a laser range finder that are used for obtaining binary channel image information and distance information of offshore ship objects, the control computer comprises an object detection and identification module and a firing data calculation module, the object detection andidentification module is used for using object color characteristics of a visible light image and object contour characteristics of an infrared image to detect and identify the objects, the firing data calculation module is used for subjecting the offshore ship objects to object modeling operation, a hitting equation is solved, firing data is calculated, and the water cannon servo control systemis used for controlling water cannons to point to the objects according to the firing data. The ship water cannon control system and method can be used for tracking real time motion of the offshore ship objects and can be prevented from electromagnetic interference, accurate angular position and distance information of the objects can be obtained, and the water cannons can be guided to perform effective shooting operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automatic control of ship water cannons, in particular to a ship water cannon control system and method based on fusion tracking of infrared and visible light. Background technique [0002] As disputes at sea intensify, there is an urgent need for equipment that can suppress enemy ships and avoid triggering fire attacks. Ship water cannon is an effective equipment, which can launch a large amount of water at the enemy ship or pirate ship, preventing it from approaching or suppressing it, forcing it to change course. [0003] Existing shipborne water cannons do not fully consider external environmental factors such as the shaking of their own hulls in terms of target tracking. The shooting elements are calculated under stable conditions by default, so there is a certain error in determining the target. This requires soldiers to have good operating level. Secondly, in terms of target recognition, due to the limitat...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing shipborne water cannons do not fully consider external environmental factors such as the shaking of their own hulls in terms of target tracking. The shooting elements are calculated under stable conditions by default, so there is a certain error in determining the target. This requires soldiers to have good operating level

Secondly, in terms of target recognition, due to the limitation of imaging principle, it is difficult for a single video sensor to effectively deal with the impact of scene environment changes, and the real-time tracking performance of targets is poor.
