Abstract:
Tracking is a process of determining the current and past locations of a unique item or property. It used to detect and locate targets when they moved and report new position. Another approach is to report the arrival or departure of the object and record the identification of the object, the location where observed, the time and the status. This approach leaves the task to verify the reports regarding consistency and completeness. It used in many fields such as industrial, military, and environmental studies.
In this thesis the concept of Infra-Red Search and Track (IRST) System is used. First the system is analyzed, the system has been simulated using Proteus, and then it has been implemented using appropriate components. The simulation and the experimental results show that the performance of the system is better under different operation conditions.
