- Abstract
- This paper reports on an optical helmet-tracking system that estimates the attitude and
position of a pilots head for weapon cueing. The optical helmet-tracking system consists of
an infrared stereo camera, infrared LEDs on the helmet, a frame grabber, and a computer
for signal processing. In addition, the optical helmet-tracking algorithms have a 3D
recursive algorithm, an estimation-and-extraction algorithm, and a 3D motion-estimation
algorithm. These algorithms were implemented using image processing, computer vision,
and filtering to estimate accurately the head motions of a pilot. In particular, the 3D motionestimation
algorithm used an extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based particle filter (PF). It can
be used in systems that have non-Gaussian noise distribution with a high-level of accuracy at
a high computational speed. We tested the accuracy of the optical helmet-tracking algorithm
in estimating 3D head motions.
