A method of controlling an image acquisition device for tracking a target object includes: detecting an event in which tracking of a first object, which is a tracking target object, fails in a first image acquired by the image acquisition device; determining, in the first image, a reference object which is used as a reference for controlling the image acquisition device; controlling the image acquisition device such that at least one of an image capturing range and an image capturing direction of the image acquisition device is adjusted based on at least one of a size and a location of the reference object in the first image; and recognizing the first object in a second image acquired by the image acquisition device in a state in which at least one of the image capturing range and the image capturing direction is adjusted.

Method, computer program, and apparatus for controlling image acquisition device

An operating device and method for remotely controlling an arming device. The method includes confirming a tracking image at each firing time point of a laser beam transmitted by the range finder; based on an image correlation value of a target locked on by a tracking gate in the tracking image exceeding a threshold value, determining that the target is normally locked on; determining whether the laser beam from the range finder hits the target determined as being normally locked on based on a center value of the tracking image and a center value of the tracking gate; and based on the laser beam from the range finder hitting the target normally locked on, determining a range measurement value measured by the range finder as a true value of the target and determining other range measurement values as wrong measurement values.

Operating device and method for remote control of arming device

A remote-controlled weapon system, mounted in a moving platform, includes at least one processor that implements: a first posture calculator that calculates a first pixel movement amount corresponding to a posture change amount of a camera during a time interval between a first image and a second image, received after the first image; a second posture calculator that calculates a second pixel movement amount corresponding to a control command for changing a posture of the camera to match a moving target, detected from the second image, with an aiming point; and a region of interest (ROI) controller that calculates a third pixel movement amount corresponding to vibration of the camera based on the first pixel movement amount and the second pixel movement amount, and estimate a location of an ROI that is to be set on the moving target of the second image, based on the third pixel movement amount.
