METHOD FOR POSITIONING AIRCRAFTS BASED ON ANALYZING IMAGES OF MOBILE TARGETS

摘要

A method for positioning aircrafts based on analyzing images of mobile targets, the method includes the following steps: a) identifying a mobile target by means of an image obtained by means of a camera mounted on an aircraft; b) determining the coordinates of the aircraft with respect to a Global Reference System; c) determining the coordinates of the mobile target with respect to the Global Reference System; d) determining an area of uncertainty associated to the determination of the coordinates of the mobile target with respect to the Global Reference System; e) determining an optimum position of the aircraft from which to monitor the mobile target in such a way that the area of uncertainty associated to the determination of the coordinates of the mobile target with respect to the Global Reference System is minimized, and; f) flying the aircraft towards the optimum position.
