Data association problem for multitarget tracking is determination of the relationship between targets and the incoming measurements from sensors of the target tracking system. Performance of a multitarget tracking system is strongly related to the chosen method for data association and target tracking algorithm. Incorrect data association effects state estimation of targets. In this thesis, we propose a new multi-scan data association algorithm for multitarget tracking systems. This algorithm was implemented by using MATLAB programming tool. Performances of the new algorithm and JPDA method for multiple targets tracking are compared. During simulations linear models are used and the uncertainties in the sensor and motion models are modeled by Gaussian density. Simulation results are presented. Results show that the new algorithm's performance is better than that of JPDA method. Moreover, a survey over target tracking literature is presented including basics of multitarget tracking systems and existing data association methods.

Performance optimization of monopulse tracking radar Şahin, Mehmet Alper; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) An analysis and simulation tool is developed for optimizing system parameters of the monopulse target tracking radar and observing effects of the system parameters on the performance of the system over different scenarios. A monopulse tracking radar is modeled for measuring the performance of the radar with given parameters, during the thesis studies. The radar model simulates the operation of a Class IA type monopulse automatic tracking radar, which uses a planar phased array. The interacting multiple mode...
Robust data hidings scheme with turbo codes Ünal, Barış; Ergül, Rüyal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This study describes the design and implementation of a robust data hiding algorithm which is provided by turbo codes. As the digital technology grows up, it is getting easy to copy and distribute multimedia products without getting legal permission. This has forced researchers to study in digital watermarking areas. Along with watermarking researches, data hiding studies have gained interest in the last decade. Different watermark and data hiding algorithms have been proposed considering different requirem...
Target tracking with input estimation Gazioğlu, Ersen; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) In this thesis, the target tracking problem with input estimation is investigated. The estimation performance of the optimum decoding based smoothing algorithm and a target tracking scheme based on the Kalman filter is compared by performing simulations. The advantages and the disadvantages of these algorithms are presented.
Use of the ambiguity function technique for target detection in phase coded continuous wave radars Çankaya, Erkan; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) The goal of this thesis study is to investigate the Ambiguity Function Technique for target detection in phase-coded continuous wave radar. Also, phase shift keying techniques are examined in detail. Continuous Wave (CW) Radars, which are also known as Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radars, emit continuous signals in time which are modulated by either frequency modulation or phase modulation techniques. Modulation of the transmitted radar signal is needed to estimate both the range and the radial veloci...
Nonuform pulse repetition interval optimization for pulse doppler radars Mercan, Hasan; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) In this thesis, a method of optimization of nonuniform pulse repetition interval for pulse Doppler radars is investigated. PRI jittering technique is used for the selection of inter-pulse intervals. An environment with white Gaussian noise and clutter interference is defined and applying generalized likelihood ratio test, a sufficient statistic function for the detection of the target is derived. The effect of jitter set selection on range and Doppler ambiguity resolution and clutter rejection is investigat...
