This thesis proposes sensor layout optimization for a sniper localization system based on acoustic signatures of firearms such as ballistic shockwave and muzzle blast. This thesis consists of three main parts as sniper localization system simulator, estimation framework, and sensor layout optimization. The simulator provides the sniper localization system outline, transmission model of acoustic signals, muzzle blast, and shockwave modeling. The estimation framework comprises of the direction of arrival estimation using time-domain delay and sum beamforming, the range and the location of the shooter. Sensor layout optimization which minimizes mean squared location error on a bounded region is performed using the genetic algorithm. Then, the performance of the optimized sensor layout and the uniform circular array is compared in terms of the shooter location error.

Shooter Localization System Calibration and Implementation
Akman, Caglar; Sonmez, Tolga; Ozugur, Ozgur; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2016-05-19)
This paper proposes a mathematical system model and a related novel system calibration method for acoustic based shooter detection system with multi microphone array which utilizes muzzle blast and shockwave due to bullet physics. System calibration method estimates system parameters namely, sound speed, bullet speed, and microphone array position from a single shot to improve shooter localization accuracy. In this paper the overall system architecture and system implementation of acoustic sensor node for d...

Tracking rectangular and elliptical extended targets using laser measurements
Granström, Karl; Lundquist, Christian; Orguner, Umut (IEEE; 2011-07-08)
This paper considers tracking of extended targets using data from laser range sensors. Two types of extended target shapes are considered, rectangular and elliptical, and a method to compute predicted measurements and corresponding innovation covariances is suggested. The proposed method can easily be integrated into any tracking framework that relies on the use of an extended Kalman filter. Here, it is used together with a recently proposed Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter fo...
Region Based Target Detection Approach for Synthetic Aperture Radar Images and Its Parallel Implementation
Nar, Fatih; Demirkesen, Can; Okman, O. Erman; ÇETİN, MÜJDAT (2012-04-26)
Automatic target detection (ATD) methods for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery are sensitive to image resolution, target size, clutter complexity, and speckle noise level. However, a robust ATD method needs to be less sensitive to the above factors. In this study, a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) based method is proposed which can perform target detection independent of image resolution and target size even in heterogeneous background clutter. The proposed method is computationally efficient since cl...
Robust Automatic Target Recognition in FLIR imagery
Soyman, Yusuf (2012-04-24)
In this paper, a robust automatic target recognition algorithm in FLIR imagery is proposed. Target is first segmented out from the background using wavelet transform. Segmentation process is accomplished by parametric Gabor wavelet transformation. Invariant features that belong to the target, which is segmented out from the background, are then extracted via moments. Higher-order moments, while providing better quality for identifying the image, are more sensitive to noise. A trade-off study is then perform...
