Advancing defense capabilities through integration of electro-optical systems and computer vision technologies.

The paper comprehensively addresses the integration of advanced technologies to enhance defense capabilities, with a particular focus on critical tasks such as object detection, tracking, and distance measurement. To this end, the integration of IMX219-77 cameras and Nvidia Jetson Nano is proposed, emphasizing the utilization of their respective features. Commonly used tools like open source computer vision (OpenCV) and GStreamer are preferred for ensuring cohesive integration between hardware and software components. On the software front, tools such as OpenCV and GStreamer are preferred for tasks related to computer vision and multimedia processing. The MOSSE algorithm is selected for object tracking due to its speed, efficiency, and resilience to changes in lighting conditions. Additionally, distance measurement is achieved through the use of Stereo Vision techniques. The results of the study demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed integration. It is found that accurate distance measurements with a margin of error ranging from 0 to 2 mm, falling within acceptable limits mentioned in relevant literature, can be achieved. This underscores the efficacy of the proposed technologies for tasks such as object detection, tracking, and distance measurement. The aim of the study is to conduct an in-depth examination of the integration of advanced tools such as IMX219-77 cameras and Nvidia Jetson Nano for use in defense operations. It seeks to showcase how this integration can strengthen defense strategies and provide protection against potential threats. Additionally, the study aims to lay the groundwork for ongoing innovation and development in defense technologies. In conclusion, the integration of electrooptical systems and computer vision technologies has the potential to significantly enhance defense capabilities and contribute to national security efforts. The advantages provided by this integration can serve as a valuable resource for researchers seeking to develop new solutions in defense and security domains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
