Development of an AI-Based Virtual Camera Tracking System for Coarse Alignment of Mobile Free Space Optical Communication (FSOC) Terminals

Source

Source summary

Build a standalone software simulation of coarse optical-beacon acquisition/tracking for mobile free-space optical communications, without specialised tracking hardware. Generate configurable scenes, moving beacons, a virtual pan-tilt camera and atmospheric/vibration/noise disturbances. Detect/track the beacon and report acquisition time, tracking errors, lock retention, FPS and processing time. Deliver executable/source, a 10–15-page report and manual; a 3–5-minute video is optional. Reference-parameter and evaluation tables are missing from the source.
