METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE POINTING ANGLE OF A MOVING OBJECT

An illustrative example method of tracking a moving object includes determining an initial pointing angle of the object from a tracking device, determining an estimated position of a selected feature on the object based upon the initial pointing angle, determining a velocity vector at the estimated...

More Information
Summary:An illustrative example method of tracking a moving object includes determining an initial pointing angle of the object from a tracking device, determining an estimated position of a selected feature on the object based upon the initial pointing angle, determining a velocity vector at the estimated position, determining a lateral acceleration at the estimated position based upon the velocity vector and a yaw rate of the object, determining a sideslip angle of the selected feature based on the lateral acceleration, and determining a refined pointing angle of the object from the determined sideslip angle.
