In this study, a neural network(NN) based algorithm is proposed for real time multiple source tracking problem based on a previously reported work. The proposed algorithm namely modified neural network based multiple source tracking algorithm (MN-MUST) performs direction of arrival(DoA) estimation in three stages which are the detection, filtering and DoA estimation stages. The main contributions of this proposed system are: reducing the input size for the uncorrelated source case (reducing the training time) of NN system without degradation of accuracy and insertion of a nonlinear spatial filter to isolate each one of the sectors where sources are present, from the others. MN-MUST algorithm finds the targets correctly no matter whether the targets are located within the same angular sector or not. In addition as the number of targets exceeds the number of antenna elements the algorithm can still perform sufficiently well. Mutual coupling in array does not influence MN-MUST algorithm performance. iv MN-MUST algorithm is further improved for a cylindrical microstrip patch antenna array by using the advantages of directive antenna pattern properties. The new algorithm is called cylindrical patch array MN-MUST(CMN-MUST). CMN-MUST algorithm consists of three stages as MN-MUST does. Detection stage is exactly the same as in MN-MUST. However spatial filtering and DoA estimation stage are reduced order by using the advantages of directive antenna pattern of cylindirical microstrip patch array. The performance of the algorithm is investigated via computer simulations, for uniform linear arrays, a six element uniform dipole array and a twelve element uniform cylindrical microstrip patch array. The simulation results are compared to the previously reported works and the literature. It is observed that the proposed algorithm improves the previously reported works. The algorithm accuracy does not degrade in the presence of the mutual coupling. A uniform cylindrical patch array is successfully implemented to the MN-MUST algorithm. The implementation does not only cover full azimuth, but also improv the accuracy and speed. It is observed that the MN-MUST algorithm provides an accurate and efficient solution to the targettracking problem in real time.

A new neural network approach to the target tracking problem with smart structure
Caylar, Selcuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Dural, Gülbin (2006-12-01)
The algorithm presented in this paper, namely the modified neural multiple source tracking algorithm (MN-MUST) is the modified form of the recently published work, a NN algorithm, the neural multiple-source tracking (N-MUST) algorithm, was presented for locating and tracking angles of arrival from multiple sources. MN-MUST algorithm consists of three stages that are classified as the detection, filtering and DoA estimation stages. In the first stage a number of radial basis function neural networks (RBFNN) ...

A new neural network approach to the target tracking problem with smart structure
Caylar, Selcuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Dural, Guelbin (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2006-10-03)
[1] A modified neural network - based algorithm ( modified neural multiple-source tracking algorithm (MN-MUST)) is proposed for real-time multiple-source tracking problem. The proposed approach reduced the input size of the neural network without any degradation of the accuracy of the system for uncorrelated sources. In addition, a spatial filtering stage that considerably improves the performance of the system is proposed to be inserted. It is observed that the MN-MUST algorithm provides an accurate and ef...
A digital neuron realization for the random neural network model
CERKEZ, CUNEYT; AYBAY, HADİ IŞIK; Halıcı, Uğur (1997-06-12)
In this study the neuron of the random neural network (RNN) model (Gelenbe 1989) is designed using digital circuitry. In the RNN model, each neuron accumulates arriving pulses and can fire if its potential at a given instant of time is strictly positive. Firing occurs at random, the intervals between successive firing instants following an exponential distribution of constant rate. When a neuron fires, it routes the generated pulses to the appropriate output lines in accordance with the connection probabili...
A neuro-fuzzy MAR algorithm for temporal rule-based systems
Sisman, NA; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Akman, V (1999-08-04)
This paper introduces a new neuro-fuzzy model for constructing a knowledge base of temporal fuzzy rules obtained by the Multivariate Autoregressive (MAR) algorithm. The model described contains two main parts, one for fuzzy-rule extraction and one for the storage of extracted rules. The fuzzy rules are obtained from time series data using the MAR algorithm. Time-series analysis basically deals with tabular data. It interprets the data obtained for making inferences about future behavior of the variables. Fu...
