Missile Tracking Using Matlab

This document describes a project to track missiles using MATLAB. It includes a block diagram showing how a CCD camera and DSP capture and process images in real-time to guide a missile toward its target. The process involves locking onto a target, firing the missile, tracking the target, and controlling the missile until it hits the target or the target is destroyed. Image processing techniques like histograms and correlation are used to determine the target's position from consecutive camera frames. The project has applications in military targeting as well as civilian uses like motion capture and video conferencing.

Image processing
• It is a subset of electronic domain.
• It is usually refers to digital image processing,
but analog and optical image processing is also
possible.
• Here image processing done by using matlab.

Applications
• Military field
• Motion capture
• Video conference system
• Diverse civilian
Conclusion & Future scope
• The aim of the project is to train the pilots to
ensure that the missile hits the target
successfully.
• By using the very large instruction word
(VLIW) the algorithms developed can be
highly up gradable for next generation
