An innovative technique has been developed to digitize and analyze the video data taken by multi-station, real-time tracking system. In phase i we shall undertake to carry out a proof-of-concept study to demonstrate the feasibility of using pattern recognition techniques to analyze and extract the target information. As a result we propose to develop and test a comprehensive automated post-flight analysis system which, by combining a priori information, computer graphics methods, and signal processing techniques is capable of producing enhanced three-dimensional image, six-dimensional data (position and attitude), as well as accurate reconstruction of a six-dimensional target trajectory (position and attitude as a function of time).
