US 2009/0212994 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC STABILIZATION OF TARGET DATA DETECTED FROM A MOVING PLATFORM

Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting a present location of a target from a moving platform are provided. One system includes a movement module for estimating the present location of the target, a prediction module for estimating future locations of the target, and a first processor. The first processor is configured to receive present location estimates, receive future location estimates, store the future location estimates to create a first future location estimate, and determine the present location of the target based on the present location estimate and/or the first future location estimate. One method includes receiving an estimate of the present location of the moving platform, receiving an estimate of a future location of the moving platform, and determining the present location of the target based on the estimate of the present location and/or the estimate of the future location.

Dependent claims

A system for detecting a present location of a target from a moving platform, comprising:

a movement module configured to estimate the present location of the target with respect to the moving platform;
a prediction module coupled to the movement module and configured to estimate future locations of the target based on estimates received from the movement module and movement characteristics of the moving platform;
and
a first processor coupled to the movement module and the prediction module, the first processor configured to:
receive present location estimates from the movement module,
receive future location estimates from the prediction module,
store the future location estimates to create a first future location estimate, and
determine the present location of the target based on the present location estimate from the movement module, the first future location estimate from the prediction module, or both.
