APPLICATION OF REGRESSION ANALYSIS TO VIDEO DIGITAL DATA FOR DETERMINING PROJECTILE IMPACT LOCATIONS

Abstract

The correlation of two grid systems can be estimated by application of regression analysis to data whose relationship is assumed to be explained by linear transformation model. The two grid systems are a surveyed target range and real-time video of the range during testing of 30mm chain gun/2. 75"FFAR conducted for research and development of the YAH-64 Advanced Attack Helicopter (AAH) target acquisition and weapons system. The regression model and computational method are discussed; analysis of the impact location determination errors, operator error and errors due to skewness, introduced by camera position and orientation, are presented.
