Abstract: An intelligent image target real-time recognition and tracking system has been developed with digital signal processing chips. The system's main features incllude:automatic recognition of locked-on targets; automatic tracking of multi-targets;permitting memory txacking when the targets become shaded; automatic searching of lost making when faced with targets in the process of tracking, system allows adaptive decision traget variation during process of tiacking; system shifts to prior centroid of target when target tends to fill the whole field of view, capability to recognixe and acquire a preassigned target automatically.
