5. CONCLUSIONS AND AREAS FOR 
IMPROVEMENT 
Itis concluded that the overall results are acceptable but can 
be improved. Efforts will continue to improve the results 
and move toward a real time test environment. 
Areas for improvement include: 
1. Develop a more accurate test control model. 
2. Seekimprovements in appropriate weight constraints. 
3. Explore the use of additional parameters in the initial 
condition equation. 
4. Experiment to determine the absolute accuracy of the 
image matching process for coordinate measurement.
