A new quantization approach is proposed for track fusion in fusion systems under communication constraints. The quantization algorithm used in practice for track fusion is a static nearest neighbor approach which selects the closest vector and the covariance in a table to the current track information. The quantization algorithm proposed here involves posing the quantization problem in an optimization framework and solving it by also including the predicted future values of the track into the picture. Since the approach considers the inherent dynamic characteristics of the tracks, the resulting methodology is called as dynamic quantization. The early simulation results show that the dynamic quantization is much more advantageous compared to static quantization even under very low bit rates.

Dynamic quantization for track fusion under communication constraints
Gök, Görkem; Orguner, Umut; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
Quantization is one of the important problems for track fusion in defense systems. Due to the communication constraints, the track information has to be quantized while it is sent from local agents to the fusion center. In this study, a new quantization approach is proposed for track fusion in fusion systems under communication constraints. The quantization algorithm used in practice for track fusion is a static nearest neighbor approach which selects the closest vector and the covariance in a table to the ...
A Self-Supervised Decision Fusion Framework for Building Detection
Senaras, Caglar; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2016-05-01)
In this study, a new building detection framework for monocular satellite images, called self-supervised decision fusion (SSDF) is proposed. The model is based on the idea of self-supervision, which aims to generate training data automatically from each individual test image, without human interaction. This approach allows us to use the advantages of the supervised classifiers in a fully automated framework. We combine our previous supervised and unsupervised building detection frameworks to suggest a self-...
Association and Fusion of Range-Azimuth Tracks
Balci, Ali Emre; Şahin, Kurtuluş Kerem; Kumru, Firat; Pektas, Fatih; Özkan, Emre; Orguner, Umut (2022-01-01)
In this paper, novel association and fusion methods for range-azimuth tracks are proposed. The association method requires calculating the distance between two tracks that lack elevation information. An iterative algorithm is proposed to find the closest distance between the two arcs defined by the range azimuth tracks. This procedure provides elevation information for track pairs, which is also used for the track fusion process. The performance of the algorithms is illustrated in experiments with simulated...
Multi-modal video event recognition based on association rules and decision fusion
Guder, Mennan; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan (2018-02-01)
In this paper, we propose a multi-modal event recognition framework based on the integration of feature fusion, deep learning, scene classification and decision fusion. Frames, shots, and scenes are identified through the video decomposition process. Events are modeled utilizing features of and relations between the physical video parts. Event modeling is achieved through visual concept learning, scene segmentation and association rule mining. Visual concept learning is employed to reveal the semantic gap b...
Target Localization and Velocity Estimation Methods for Frequency-Only MIMO Radars
Kalkan, Yilmaz; Baykal, Buyurman (2011-05-27)
Target localization and the velocity estimation methods are proposed for frequency-only MIMO Radar with widely separated stations. For the target localization, time of arrival (TOA), angle of arrival (AOA) and frequency of arrival (FOA) informations can be used in cooperation. When the time resolution of the transmitted signals is not enough or good,i.e.; unmodulated CW radar, we can not rely on the TOA information to localize the target. On the other hand, if the frequency resolution of the transmitted sig...
