Abstract
How to improve the performance of dim-small target positioning algorithm under the sea-sky background is a hot and urgent problem in military and civil fields. In this regard, this paper analyzes the feature of dim-small targets, compares the performance of various non-visual positioning methods for localization of dim-small targets in the context of sea-sky, and draws the necessity of visual positioning methods in practical applications; Then, a comprehensive introduction is presented to current visual orientation. In the mainstream methods, three kinds of popular simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems are compared for simulation experiments. A visual positioning method is applied to the actual maritime positioning experiment. According to the experimental results, the difficulties and key technologies of the visual positioning of dim-small targets in the sea-sky are analyzed. Finally, in order to improve single-sensor positioning performance, the development and trend of multi-source information fusion in the field of target location are introduced.
