Abstract
A system for autonomous tracking of aerial targets in real space. The imaging means captures and aligns first and second images. A normalized correlation operation initiates a process for producing a resultant image including blobs corresponding to elements in the real space, despite the presence of a homogenous aerial background. One of the blobs is analyzed, classified, and tracked as a target.
