Abstract
An illustrative example method of tracking a moving object includes determining a heading angle of a centroid of the object from a tracking sensor, determining a raw difference value corresponding to a difference between a pointing angle of a selected feature on the object and the heading angle, wherein the raw difference is based on a trajectory curvature of the centroid from the tracking sensor and a distance between the centroid and the selected feature, determining a filtered difference between the pointing angle and the heading angle using a low pass filter, and determining the pointing angle by subtracting the filtered difference from the heading angle.
