Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation scheme of HTS(Helmet Tracking System) providing coincident LOS(Line of Sight) between aircraft and HMD(Helmet Mounted Display) which displays flight and mission information on Pilot helmet. The functionality and performance of HMD system depends on the performance of helmet tracking system. The target of HTS system design is to meet real-time performance and reliability by predicting non-periodic latency and high accuracy performance. To prove an availability of a proposed approach, a robust hybrid scheme with a fusion optical and inertial tracking system are tested through a implemented test-bed. Experimental results show real-time and reliable tracking control in spite of external errors.

본 논문에서는 항공기 조종사 헬멧에 장착된 HMD(헬멧시현기, Helmet Mounted Display)에 비행정보 및 임무정보를 조종사의 시선(Line of Sight)과 일치시켜 시현하기 위한 헬멧자세 추적시스템(HTS, Helmet Tracking System)을 설계 및 구현했다. HMD 시스템의 기능과 성능은 HTS의 성능에 기반하므로 이를 고려하여 동작의 실시간을 보장하고 정확도를 높이기 위해 관성센서와 광학식센서의 데이타를 융합처리하여 다양한 운용 환경에서도 강건한 성능을 제공할 수 있는 HTS를 설계 및 구현 했다. 구현된 HTS의 효용성을 검증하기 위하여 테스트 베드 환경에서 오차 발생시 동작의 정확도 및 실시간성등을 검증하였다.
