This paper presents an extended target tracking framework which uses polynomials in order to model extended objects in the scene of interest from imagery sensor data. State-space models are proposed for the extended objects which enables the use of Kalman filters in tracking. Different methodologies of designing measurement equations are investigated. A general target tracking algorithm that utilizes a specific data association method for the extended targets is presented. The overall algorithm must always use some form of prior information in order to detect and initialize extended tracks from the point tracks in the scene. This aspect of the problem is illustrated on a real life example of road-map estimation from automotive radar reports along with the results of the study.

A tracker-aware detector threshold optimization formulation for tracking maneuvering targets in clutter
Aslan, Murat Samil; Saranlı, Afşar (Elsevier BV, 2011-09-01)
In this paper, we consider a tracker-aware radar detector threshold optimization formulation for tracking maneuvering targets in clutter. The formulation results in an online method with improved transient performance. In our earlier works, the problem was considered in the context of the probabilistic data association filter (PDAF) for non-maneuvering targets. In the present study, we extend the ideas in the PDAF formulation to the multiple model (MM) filtering structures which use PDAFs as modules. Althou...
Block-based methods for the reconstruction of finite-length signals from nonuniform samples
Tuncer, Temel Engin (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-02-01)
Two novel block-based algorithms are presented for the reconstruction of uniform samples given the nonuniform samples. The first algorithm uses a sinc interpolator whereas the second one uses a DFT-based interpolator. It is shown that the proposed algorithms are stable and the error due to noise and sampling jitter is bounded by the corresponding error norms of noise and jitter, respectively. We show that both of the block-based algorithms provide nearly perfect reconstruction for a class of practically tim...
Real time electromagnetic target classification using a novel feature extraction technique with PCA-based fusion
Sayan, Gönül (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-02-01)
This paper introduces an efficient technique to design an electromagnetic target classifier whose reference database is constructed using scattered data at only a few aspects. The suggested technique combines a natural-resonance related feature extraction process with a novel, multiaspect feature fusion scheme. First, moderately aspect-variant late-time features are extracted from scattered field of a given candidate target at several different reference aspects using the Wigner transformation to characteri...
Semi-supervised dimension reduction approaches integrating global and local pattern information
Sakarya, Ufuk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-02-01)
Dimension reduction is an important research area in pattern recognition. Use of both supervised and unsupervised data can be an advantage in the case of lack of labeled training data. Moreover, use of both global and local pattern information can contribute classification performances. Therefore, four important primary components are essential to design a well-performed semi-supervised dimension reduction approach: global pattern modeling by a supervised manner, local pattern modeling by a supervised manne...
An Extended Target CPHD Filter and a Gamma Gaussian Inverse Wishart Implementation
Lundquist, Christian; Granstrom, Karl; Orguner, Umut (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-06-01)
This paper presents a cardinalized probability hypothesis density (CPHD) filter for extended targets that can result in multiple measurements at each scan. The probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter for such targets has been derived by Mahler, and different implementations have been proposed recently. To achieve better estimation performance this work relaxes the Poisson assumptions of the extended target PHD filter in target and measurement numbers. A gamma Gaussian inverse Wishart mixture implementat...
