Abstract

This paper describes a new method for two-dimensional(2D) positioning system by use of crosscorrelation of vague M-arrays. An M-array pattern is attached on an object to be positioned and it is observed by a TV camera in out-of-focus condition. The crosscorrelation between the observed image data and the reference M-array gives us the information about the 2D position of the object.
