Adaptive mixture approximation for target tracking in clutter D'Ortenzio, Alessandro; Manes, Costanzo; Orguner, Umut (2023-11-22) Target tracking is a state estimation problem common in many practical scenarios like air traffic control, autonomous vehicles, marine radar surveillance and so on. In a Bayesian perspective, when phenomena like clutter ar...
Gaussian Mixture Filtering with Nonlinear Measurements Minimizing Forward Kullback-Leibler Divergence Laz, Eray; Orguner, Umut (2023-07-01) A Gaussian mixture filter is proposed for the state estimation of dynamical systems with nonlinear measurements. The filter is derived by solving an assumed density filtering problem where Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence ...
An Approximate MSE Expression for Maximum Likelihood and Other Implicitly Defined Estimators of Non-Random Parameters Mehmetcik, Erdal; Orguner, Umut; Candan, Çağatay (2023-03-01) An approximate mean square error (MSE) expression for the performance analysis of implicitly defined estimators of non-random parameters is proposed. An implicitly defined estimator (IDE) declares the minimizer/maximizer o...
Adaptive Mixture Model Reduction based on the Composite Transportation Dissimilarity D'Ortenzio, Alessandro; Manes, Costanzo; Iuliis, Vittorio De; Orguner, Umut (2023-01-01) Providing efficient yet accurate statistical models is a challenging problem in many applications. When elementary models are not sufficiently descriptive, mixtures of densities can be used. A complexity management issue a...
Expectation Propagation with Context Adjustment for Smoothing of Jump Markov Linear Systems Sartas, Elif; Orguner, Umut (2023-01-01) A fixed interval smoother for jump Markov linear systems (JMLSs) is proposed in the framework of expectation propagation (EP). The concept of context adjustment is introduced into EP to avoid/alleviate indefinite covarianc...
Bayesian Filtering and Smoothing with Unknown Measurement Noise Covariance Laz, Eray; Orguner, Umut (2023-01-01) Bayesian filtering and smoothing problems with unknown measurement noise covariance are investigated for linear Gaussian systems. The measurement noise covariance is assumed to be inverse Wishart distributed. A Bayesian fi...
Fixed-point iterative computation of Gaussian barycenters for some dissimilarity measures D'ortenzio, Alessandro; Manes, Costanzo; Orguner, Umut (2022-01-01) In practical contexts like sensor fusion or computer vision, it is not unusual to deal with a large number of Gaussian densities that encode the available information. In such cases, if the computational capabilities are l...
Association and Fusion of Range-Azimuth Tracks Balci, Ali Emre; Şahin, Kurtuluş Kerem; Kumru, Firat; Pektas, Fatih; Özkan, Emre; Orguner, Umut (2022-01-01) In this paper, novel association and fusion methods for range-azimuth tracks are proposed. The association method requires calculating the distance between two tracks that lack elevation information. An iterative algorithm...
A Model Selection criterion for the Mixture Reduction problem based on the Kullback-Leibler Divergence D'Ortenzio, Alessandro; Manes, Costanzo; Orguner, Umut (2022-01-01) In order to be properly addressed, many practical problems require an accurate stochastic characterization of the involved uncertainties. In this regard, a common approach is the use of mixtures of parametric densities whi...
Multi-Ellipsoidal Extended Target Tracking With Variational Bayes Inference Tuncer, Barkın; Orguner, Umut; Özkan, Emre (2022-01-01) In this work, we propose a novel extended target tracking algorithm, which is capable of representing a target or a group of targets with multiple ellipses. Each ellipse is modeled by an unknown symmetric positive-definite...
