5.3 Electro-optical capture and tracking targetWhen the electro-optical device is transferred, the search will be automatically carried out so that the target can be locked in the field and the target can be captured. After the target is captured, the system enters the automatic tracking state and automatically tracks and identifies the target. 5.3.1 Manual trackingManual tracking status, equipped with a joystick or mouse buttons can be used for manual tracking. When target capturing and tracking algorithm are set, manual rotate the pan/tilt to select target objects. When the target is elected, the objects will have captured frame. Then the joystick use tracking buttons into tracking mode. If you use the mouse, left key click into tracking mode. After entering the tracking mode, pan/tilt automatically tracks the target according to the target trajectory. wholly automatic tracking mode control pan/tilt operation. Click on the joystick tracking button or the left mouse button to unlock the current target. 5.3.2 Automatic tracking (Optional)
If the device has automatic tracking mode, when radar gives level pitch angle, pan/tilt rotates to the set position, and then enter the automatic capture mode. By automatic capture mode, after target moves into designed area, the tracking mode start, then the automatic tracking function to capture the target and track it, so as to realize the tracking of broke-into moving target.
5.4 Fusion positioning and situation displayWhen the electro-optical device is tracking automatically, the target angle data is output. The target positioning is achieved with the fusion of target angle data and radar distance data. And the target position and motion trajectory are shown in the comprehensive situation map.
