In this study, min-cost network flow formulation for multi-target tracking is adopted for the tracklet merging problem in wide area surveillance. In order to improve the continuity of the computed flows by the min-cost network flow framework, a novel tracklet association cost is proposed to be utilized in this network. The proposed cost is based on connecting two tracklets by considering the traffic flow which is estimated from the precomputed tracklets. Such an approach enforces spatial consistencies between tracks by imposing these relations into the association cost. hence, without violating the min-cost network flow formulation, a constraint to enforce spatial consistency can be implicitly obtained. The proposed cost function can be further exploited to interpolate gaps between the merged tracklets for post-processing. The experimental results show that proposed association cost improves baseline framework that uses costs considering only two tracklets at a time, as well as some other tracklet merge algorithms from the literature.

Roadesic Distance: Flow-Aware Tracklet Association Cost for Wide Area Surveillance Gürbüz, Yeti Ziya; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2017-09-20) Long-term multi-target tracking via tracklet merging in wide area surveillance has crucial importance to improve tracker performances and operational requirements. Min-cost network flow formulation for multi-target tracking is adopted for the tracklet merging problem. In order to improve the continuity of the computed flows by the min-cost network flow framework, a novel tracklet association cost is proposed to be utilized in this network. The proposed cost is based on connecting two tracklets by considerin...
Multi-target tracking using passive doppler measurements Guldogan, Mehmet B.; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2013-04-26) In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter in tracking multiple non-cooperative targets using Doppler-only measurements in a passive sensor network. Clutter, missed detections and multi-static Doppler variances are incorporated into a realistic multi-target scenario. Simulation results show that the GM-PHD filter successfully tracks multiple targets using only Doppler shift measurements in a passive multi-static scenario.
Multi-target tracking with PHD filter using Doppler-only measurements Guldogan, Mehmet B.; Lindgren, David; Gustafsson, Fredrik; Habberstad, Hans; Orguner, Umut (2014-04-01) In this paper, we address the problem of multi-target detection and tracking over a network of separately located Doppler-shift measuring sensors. For this challenging problem, we propose to use the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter and present two implementations of the PHD filter, namely the sequential Monte Carlo PHD (SMC-PHD) and the Gaussian mixture PHD (GM-PHD) filters. Performances of both filters are carefully studied and compared for the considered challenging tracking problem. Simulation...

Asymptotical lower limits on required number of examples for learning boolean networks Abul, Osman; Alhajj, Reda; Polat, Faruk (2006-11-03) This paper studies the asymptotical lower limits on the required number of samples for identifying Boolean Networks, which is given as Omega(logn) in the literature for fully random samples. It has also been found that; O(logn) samples are sufficient with high probability. Our main motivation is to provide tight lower asymptotical limits for samples obtained from time series experiments. Using the results from the literature on random boolean networks, lower limits on the required number of samples from tim...
