A fusion methodology for tracks represented by Gaussian mixtures is proposed for distributed maneuvering target tracking with unknown correlation information between the local agents. For this purpose, Chernoff fusion is applied to the Gaussian mixtures provided by the local interacting multiple-model (IMM) filters. Chernoff fusion of Gaussian mixtures is achieved using a recently proposed method in the literature involving a sigma-point approximation. The results show that the fusion of Gaussian mixtures in a distributed maneuvering target tracking scenario brings a moderate improvement over fusing only moment matched Gaussian densities.

Distributed Target Tracking with Propagation Delayed Measurements Orguner, Umut (2009-07-09) This paper presents a framework for making distributed target tracking under significant signal propagation delays between the target and the sensors. Each sensor considered makes estimation using its own measurements compensating for the involved signal propagation delay using a deterministic sampling based algorithm proposed previously. Since the individual sensor readings might not be enough to localize the target, the sensors have to share their estimates with each other at specific time instants and co...
Gaussian mixture PHD filter for multi-target tracking using passive doppler-only measurements Guldogan, Mehmet B.; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2012-05-17) In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter in tracking multiple non-cooperative targets using a passive sensor network. Non-cooperative transmissions from illuminators of opportunity like GSM base stations, FM radio transmitters or digital broadcasters are exploited by non-directional separately located Doppler measuring sensors. Clutter, missed detections and multi-static Doppler variances are incorporated into a realistic multi-target s...
Random Matrix Based Extended Target Tracking with Orientation: A New Model and Inference Tuncer, Barkın; Özkan, Emre (2021-02-01) In this study, we propose a novel extended target tracking algorithm which is capable of representing the extent of dynamic objects as an ellipsoid with a time-varying orientation angle. A diagonal positive semi-definite matrix is defined to model objects' extent within the random matrix framework where the diagonal elements have inverse-Gamma priors. The resulting measurement equation is non-linear in the state variables, and it is not possible to find a closed-form analytical expression for the true poste...
Estimation of Noise Model Parameters for Images Taken by a Full-frame Hyperspectral Camera DEMİRKESEN, Can; Leloğlu, Uğur Murat (2015-09-23) Noise has to be taken into account in the algorithms of classification, target detection and anomaly detection. Recent studies indicate that noise estimation is also crucial in subspace identification of Hyper Spectral Images (his). Several techniques were proposed for noise estimation including: multiple linear regression based techniques, spectral unmixing and remixing etc. The noise in HSI is widely accepted to be a spatially stationary random process. But the variance of the noise varies from one wavele...
Covariance Matrix Estimation of Texture Correlated Compound-Gaussian Vectors for Adaptive Radar Detection Candan, Çağatay; Pascal, Frederic (2022-01-01) Covariance matrix estimation of compound-Gaussian vectors with texture-correlation (spatial correlation for the adaptive radar detectors) is examined. The texture parameters are treated as hidden random parameters whose statistical description is given by a Markov chain. States of the chain represent the value of texture coefficient and the transition probabilities establish the correlation in the texture sequence. An Expectation-Maximization (EM) method based covariance matrix estimation solution is given ...
