Abstract

The article is devoted to the assessment of the quality of stabilization systems of special equipment used on various types of vehicles, such as combat vehicles, in particular infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs). The main task of such systems is to maintain a stable position or orientation of the object, which avoids external influences and compensates for the movement of the equipment carrier itself. This is especially important for combat assets, where the stability of the equipment affects the accuracy of guidance and the effectiveness of combat operations.  Among the features considered are smoothing and mitigating abrupt fluctuations and deviations, as well as stabilizing relative to the target. The article presents a mathematical model and developed software for assessing the quality of stabilization systems of special equipment on mobile vehicles using the method of deviation analysis by calculating deviations in the stabilization process, which takes into account the movement of the carrier. The method involves measuring the angular deviations of the sight relative to the target at each point in time. The main indicators of stabilization quality in the model are mean angular deviation, standard deviation, and maximum deviation. For dynamic target tracking, the principles of a correlation filter are used, which allows you to determine the similarity between the current frame and the reference image of the object. This approach makes it possible to reliably identify an object even in conditions dynamic position change. The correlation tracking described in the article is based on finding an object in the next frame by maximizing the similarity between the current image and the reference. The use of a correlation filter ensures stable subject tracking and adjusts the settings to accurately focus on the target in conditions of changing lighting and angle.
