The key technology analysis
1. Optical system:
Visible imaging: using the visible spectral range of the human eye, to provide the true color information of the target, suitable for daytime and well-lit environments.
Infrared imaging: using the target's own thermal radiation for imaging, not subject to light conditions, can work at night or under adverse weather conditions. The combination of these two imaging methods can greatly improve the reliability and accuracy of the identification.
2. image processing technology:
Pre-processing, enhancement and segmentation operations are performed on the captured image to improve the quality and clarity of the image, laying the foundation for subsequent target detection and tracking.
Extract the useful information in the image, such as the shape, texture, color and other characteristics of the target, to provide an important basis for identification.
3. Target detection and tracking:
Target detection techniques are used to quickly and accurately locate the position of a target in an image.
Tracking techniques are then used to monitor the movement trajectory of the target in real time to ensure that the UAV can continuously lock onto the target. In complex environments, such as occlusion, target movement speed changes, etc., the target detection and tracking algorithm needs to have high robustness and real-time performance.
4. feature extraction and matching:
A set of data that can represent the characteristics of the target is obtained by performing feature extraction on the image of the target.
These features are matched with a preset target template to determine the identity of the target. The choice of feature extraction and matching algorithms has an important impact on the accuracy and efficiency of the recognition.
5. Deep learning techniques:
In recent years, deep learning has made significant progress in the field of image processing and target recognition. In UAV photoelectric recognition tracking equipment, deep learning technology can be applied to image preprocessing, target detection, feature extraction and other aspects to improve the overall performance of the system.
