    摘要: Apparatus suitable for tracking a road vehicle from an aerial platform uses a correlator (5) for processing data received from a thermal imager (1). The apparatus derives a binary template for use by the correlator (5), the template (13) being based on points of high curvature (12) in an object to be tracked. The invention shows a significant reduction in mistracking and drift compared with conventional correlation trackers under the conditions of high density of features similar in nature to the object of interest, such as typifies the imagery obtained from a ground-pointing camera mounted on an aerial platform.
