Tracking a swift target using the interacting fuzzy multi-model algorithm

1997-07-18
This paper focuses on the generation of an intelligent tracker module equipped with a wavelet based neural network that learns predictions from past experience. The perception of actual target manoeuvre and prediction of its future states are achieved in this work by ''projecting'' actual observations into decision spaces of local fuzzy predictions based on independent prototypical trajectory types: linear, parabolic and sinusoidal. Decentralized tracking decisions are thus generated which are further evaluated by learning prediction module and are fused before being sent to the guidance module.

This paper focuses on the generation of an intelligent tracker module equipped with a wavelet based neural network that learns predictions from past experience. The perception of actual tar et manoeuvre and prediction of its future states are achieved in this work by "projecting" actual observations into decision spaces of local fuzzy predictions based on independent prototypical trajectory types: linear, parabolic and square root type trajectory. Decentralized tracking decisions are thus generated which ar...

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...
Representing temporal knowledge in connectionist expert systems
Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (1996-09-27)
This paper introduces a new temporal neural networks model which can be used in connectionist expert systems. Also, a Variation of backpropagation algorithm, called the temporal feedforward backpropagation algorithm is introduced as a method for training the neural network. The algorithm was tested using training examples extracted from a medical expert system. A series of experiments were carried out using the temporal model and the temporal backpropagation algorithm. The experiments indicated that the alg...
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...
