Abstract
This paper describes recent work conducted in collaboration with DSTO Australia and Aerosonde to develop video-based geolocation (targeting) and real-time enhancement of ground features observed from a small unmanned air vehicle (UAV). Here a combination of low-cost GPS, video and attitude sensors are used to estimate the object ground position whilst a simple super-resolution technique is used to enhance images of the object of interest. The results of two recent trials of the developed algorithms are presented.
