In this thesis study, single target tracking algorithms including IMM-PDA and IMM-IPDA algorithms; Optimal approaches in multitarget tracking including IMM-JPDA, IMM-IJPDA and IMM-JIPDA algorithms and an example of Linear Multi-target approaches in multitarget tracking including IMM-LMIPDA algorithm have been studied and implemented in MATLAB for comparison. Simulations were carried out in various realistic test scenarios including single target tracking, tracking of multiple targets moving in convoy fashion, two targets merging in a junction, two targets merging-departing in junctions and multitarget tracking under isolated tracks situations. RMSE performance, track loss and computational load evaluations were done for these algorithms under the test scenarios dealing with these situations. Benchmarkings are presented relying on these outcomes.

Target tracking and sensor placement for doppler–only measurements Ayazgök, Süleyman; Orguner, Umut; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) This thesis investigates the problems of target tracking and optimal sensor placement with Doppler-only measurements. First, a single point track initialization algorithm proposed in the literature is investigated for Doppler-only tracking. The initialization algorithm is based on separable least squares method and involves a grid-based optimization. Second, particle filters are considered for Doppler-only tracking and they are compared to an extended Kalman filter (EKF). It is shown that a classical bootst...
Fully-Automatic Target Detection and Tracking for Real-Time, Airborne Imaging Applications Alkanat, Tunc; Tunali, Emre; Oz, Sinan (2015-03-14) In this study, an efficient, robust algorithm for automatic target detection and tracking is introduced. Procedure starts with a detection phase. Proposed method uses two alternatives for the detection phase, namely maximally stable extremal regions detector and Canny edge detector. After detection, regions of interest are evaluated and eliminated according to their compactness and effective saliency. The detection process is repeated for a predetermined number of pyramid levels where each level processes a...
Interacting multiple model probabilistic data association filter using random matrices for extended target tracking Özpak, Ezgi; Orguner, Umut; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) In this thesis, an Interacting Multiple Model – Probabilistic Data Association (IMM-PDA) filter for tracking extended targets using random matrices is proposed. Unlike the extended target trackers in the literature which use multiple alternative partitionings/clusterings of the set of measurements, the algorithm proposed here considers a single partitioning/clustering of the measurement data which makes it suitable for applications with low computational resources. When the IMM-PDA filter uses clustered mea...
Optimum placement of microphone array for sound capture using genetic algoritms Birinci, Isil Yazgan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2006-01-01) This paper presents a new method based on genetic algorithm for the optimum placement of microphone arrays for high-quality sound pickup. Microphone arrays are being used for the purposes of direction-of-arrival estimation and tracking of sound sources [1][2] as well as high quality sound capture by focusing on a source [3]. The placement of microphones has direct effect on the sound quality acquired [4][5]. The method proposed in this paper uses a metric function that takes this effect into account and op...
Posterior Cram'er-Rao Lower Bounds for Extended Target Tracking with Random Matrices Sarıtaş, Elif; Orguner, Umut (2016-07-08) This paper presents posterior Cram'er-Rao lower bounds (PCRLB) for extended target tracking (ETT) when the extent states of the targets are represented with random matrices. PCRLB recursions are derived for kinematic and extent states taking complicated expectations involving Wishart and inverse Wishart distributions. For some analytically intractable expectations, Monte Carlo integration is used. The bounds for the semi-major and minor axes of the extent ellipsoid are obtained as well as those for the exte...
