The detection and estimation problems with large dimensional vectors frequently appear in the phased array radar systems equipped with, possibly, several hundreds of receiving elements. For such systems, a preprocessing stage reducing the large dimensional input to a manageable dimension is required. The present work shows that the subspace spanned by the generalized eigenvectors of signal and noise covariance matrices is the optimal subspace to this aim from several different viewpoints. Numerical results on the subspace selection for the radar target detection problem is provided to examine the performance of detectors with reduced dimensions.

Visual detection and tracking of moving objects
Ergezer, Hamza; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2007-06-13)
In this paper, primary steps of a visual surveillance system are presented: moving object detection and tracking of these moving objects. Running average method has been used to detect the moving objects in the video, which is taken from a static camera. Tracking of foreground objects has been realized by using a Kalman filter. After background subtraction, morphological operators are used to remove noises detected as foreground. Active contour models (snakes) are the segmentation tools for the extracted fo...
A Computationally Efficient Appearance-Based Algorithm for Geospatial Object Detection
Arslan, Duygu; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2012-04-27)
A computationally efficient appearance-based algorithm for geospatial object detection is presented and evaluated specifically for aircraft detection from satellite imagery. An aircraft operator exploiting the edge information via gray level differences between the aircraft and its background is constructed with Haar-like polygon regions by using the shape information of the aircraft as an invariant. Fast evaluation of the aircraft operator is achieved by means of integral image. Rotated integral images are...

Reduced dynamic models combined with GPSObservations on board the satellites within an extended Kalman Filtering algorithm increases the accuracy of near real time orbit determination. Gravity model as the main force and numerical integration methods are the key concepts in the GPS based reduced dynamic orbit determination. EGM 2008 Earth Gravity Model represented by U.S. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) EGM Development Group offers a new model for the determination of gravity accelerations. S...
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...

Yetkil, Yaşar Barış; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
Frequency modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) radar altimeters are used in civil and military applications. Proximity fuses, automatic cruise control systems of cars, radar altimeter of planes are examples to these applications. The goal of this thesis is to present a method for altitude determination using an FM-CW radar. For this purpose principles of radars and FM-CW systems are studied and related subjects are inspected. After this inspection, algorithms for altitude determination are evaluated. Consequen...
