\title{6.111 Final Project Abstract}

\maketitle

Our proposal for a 6.111 final project is an automated targeting
system.  It will consist of a motion detector module and a targeting
module.  The motion detector module will monitor a video stream and
select regions of maximal change.  The targeting module will choose a
target and track it as long as it is visible.  In addition, it will
aim a laser pointer at the target by means of motors attached to
rotating mirrors.  The system will indicate when it is tracking a
target and whether it has locked on to the target with its pointer.
There will also exist a test function which will run the pointer
through a sequence of motions preprogrammed into a PROM.
