ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a system for tracking and/or guidance of a vehicle or projectile using a correlation arrangement for comparing representations from a sensor mounted on the vehicle or projectile with a reference representation, the correlation being carried out by comparing portions of the representations and like portions of the reference representation to derive position coordinates for each of said portions and to evaluate from said position coordinates compensation signals for rotational misalignment and/or changes of scale as between the reference and subsequent representations.
