ABSTRACT:
A target detection method collects spatial data relating to a target at an instant in time. This data is converted to an appropriate coordinate system, such as Cartesian coordinates. A centroid of the target is determined. Predictions of the centroid are made at subsequent time intervals. The predicted centroids are averaged with the current determined centroids. When the closest centroid position of the target is determined, an indication is provided for detonating the warhead of a projectile.
