Target Tracking System for Tank Gun Mount
Project Area of Specialization
Project Summary
In this project, a prototype system having two axis movements will be designed and implemented that will have the ability to track and lock a moving ground target. Target tracking will be achieved by controlling traversing and elevation motors. Location of the target will be captured using a day/night camera. The output of the camera will be given to a pre-trained Siamese Neural Network, which will produce bounding boxes, thus giving target coordinates. This information will be processed and given to a PID controller to drive the traversing and elevation DC servo motors. The main hardware of the system will include day/night camera, DC servo motors, high end microcontroller board for inference, electronics for control signal generation and motor actuation circuit. This system will be designed to support an ongoing research for the 12.7mm Anti-aircraft Machine Gun (AAMG) installed on a Remote Weapon System (RWS). The RWS mount will move due to traversal and elevating motors which will be controlled by the motion controller card.
Project Objectives
- To analyze the commonly used object tracking techniques.
- To develop a reliable and real-time object tracking system that should be able to lock and track the target with optional features like bore-sighting and auto-focusing.
- To resolve the constraints which occur in target locking and tracking.
- To implement a working prototype target tracking system.
Project Implementation Method
Understanding and comparison of basic algorithms of object tracking and selecting the optimal algorithm. Implementation of the optimized algorithm on a GPU based computer for inference. The whole process will work in closed-loop. The camera input i.e., the real-time video feed will be integrated with the tracking code and subsequently given to a PID controller to generate commands for the elevation and traversing motors. The processed command will be sent to the motorsthrough a motion controller card. The motors will then move to follow the target.
Benefits of the Project
- Risk Removal for the commander of tank .
- Can be mounted on Remote Weapon System (RWS) for security purposes.
- Video surveillance for security purpose.
- Can be used in the inspection of machine.
- Ball tracking in sports.
- In any applications which used the object tracking and then action is being performed on the basis of tracking.
