Energy based detection measures sensor received signal strength (RSS) transmitted from a target. In this paper, we propose a new approach for estimating a moving target trajectory over a sensor field via energy based detections as an alternative to trilateration positioning or nonlinear estimation. In 2D case, possible target locations described by a RSS ratio from two sensors are approximated using...
Geolocation with three or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on time-difference-of-arrivals (TDOA) is possible but has implementation problems including UAV trajectory optimization, measurement association, and communication bandwidth limitations. The complexity of each of these problems is manageable with a simpler system of two netted UAVs that processes multiple TDOA measurements collected...
Tracking objects using multiple sensors is more efficient than those using one sensor. In this paper, we proposed a method to fuse data from multiple sensors in Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density filter. This method can avoid the data association problem in multi-sensor multi-object tracking. Moreover, it is more reliable and less computational than particle probability hypothesis density...
This paper presents our work which involves the application of a recursive Bayesian filter, the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GMPHD) filter, to a visual tracking problem. Foreground objects are detected using statistical background modeling to obtain measurements which are input into the filter. The GMPHD filter explicitly models the birth, survival and death of objects by managing...
Data assimilation in the context of puff based dispersion models is studied. A representative two dimensional Gaussian puff atmospheric dispersion model is used for the purpose of testing and comparing several data assimilation techniques. A continuous nonlinear observation model, and a quantized probabilistic nonlinear observation model, are used to simulate the measurements. The quantized model...
The probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter, which was derived from finite set statistics is a promising approach to multi-target tracking. An analytical closed-form solution for the PHD, named Gaussian mixture PHD Filter, is given for linear Gaussian target dynamics with Gaussian births by B. Vo and W. Ma. Based on the Gaussian mixture PHD filter, in this paper, without consideration of data...
The cardinalized probability hypothesis density (CPHD) filter is a recursive Bayesian algorithm for estimating multiple target states with varying target number in clutter. In particular, the Gaussian mixture variant (GMCPHD) for linear, Gaussian systems is a candidate for real time multi target tracking. The present work addresses the following three issues: (i) we show the equivalence between the...
A model for vehicle motion on a road network Is developed using an enumeration of feasible routes. Combined with a generic stochastic model of distance travelled, a predicted pdf of vehicle position is derived as a mixture. This approach allows prior information on vehicle intent and behaviour to be included via the mixture weights. Illustrative examples are given using a second-order linear-Gaussian...
The idea of particle filter is to represent probability density function (PDF) of nonlinear/non-Gaussian system by a set of random samples. One of the key issue of particle filter is the proposal distribution. In this paper, the iterated unscented Kalman filter (IUKF) is used to generate the proposal distribution for particle filter. The proposal distributions integrate the current observation, thus...
In nonlinear Bayesian estimation it is generally inevitable to incorporate approximate descriptions of the exact estimation algorithm. There are two possible ways to involve approximations: Approximating the nonlinear stochastic system model or approximating the prior probability density function. The key idea of the introduced novel estimator called Hybrid Density Filter relies on approximating the...
