Accurate Estimation of shell position using triangulation method for calibration of RPS

Abstract To calibrate the Radio proximity sensor (RPS), an experiment has been conducted with shell firing. Two High speed cameras have been used to track the shell. For calibration purpose, the accurate position of shell with respect to time has been estimated using triangulation method. Accurate knowledge of orientation and position of camera is very important for accurate estimation of shell’s position. Pole with known marking has been used here for computing the orientation of camera. Image processing technique has been used here for the computation of centroid of shell. With the help of this experiment, the accurate calibration of RPS has been achieved.
