Angle-Measurement and Ranging System
Abstract
Optical system automatically supplies information on angular position and range of object. Stereo rangefinder video signals from cameras processed to determine center of brightness for images of beacon on target vehicle. Range updated by onboard computer. Originally developed for spacecraft rendezvous and guidance, features of system adapted to angle-measurement and ranging problems on Earth. Technique also used for tool alinement inspections and color recognition.
