Detection of Moving Objects by a Passive Scanning System

The problem of detection and estimation of spatial coordinates of moving objects by a passive scanning system of vision is solved. Algebraic and algorithmic approaches to determining the spatial coordinates and parameters of object motion are proposed. These approaches differ by taking into account the object velocities in searching for conjugate vectors of directions to the objects. The algorithms developed on the basis of these approaches show that the approach with allowance for motion parameters offers significant advantages of higher accuracy of coordinate estimation and higher probability of detecting all objects.
