In the scope of underwater warfare, signature of ship wakes is attractive for its exploitation in ship detection, tracking and classification. Ship wake signature is generally more distinct than the signature of the ship. In this work, particle filter method has been simulated for target tracking using wake echo measurements. A wake model that exists in literature has been used in the simulations with some modifications. Receive level profiles when insonifying ship wake has been obtained. It has been observed that particle filter method gives successful results for tracking ships using wake echo measurements.

Acoustic tracking of ship wakes Önür, Çağla; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Theories about ship wake structure, bubble dynamics, acoustic propagation through bubble clouds, backscattering and target strength of bubble clouds have been investigated and related Matlab simulations have been carried on. Research has been carried on algorithms for ship wake acoustic detection and tracking. Particle filter method has been simulated with Matlab for target tracking using wake echo measurements. Simulation results are promising.
Performance Comparison of Target Tracking Algortihms in Underwater Environment Ege, Emre; Saranlı, Afşar (2008-04-22) Target tracking is one the most fundamental elements of a radar system. The aim of target tracking is the reliable estimation of a target's true state based on a time history of noisy sensor observations. In real life, the sensor data may include substantial noise. This noise can render the raw sensor data unsuitable to be used directly. Instead, we must filter the noise, preferably in an optimal manner. For land, air and surface marine vehicles, very successful filtering methods are developed. However, bec...
Coordinate systems for a naval virtual environment Kılıç, Aslı; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) The purpose of this thesis is implementing World Geodetic System (WGS) for Naval Surface Tactical Maneuvering Simulation System (NSTMSS), a High Level Architecture (HLA) based naval simulation, and also implementing body coordinate system for the ships of NSTMSS and its combination with WGS so that NSTMSS can be more accurate, and new ship dynamics models can be integrated to the NSTMSS environment more easily. To improve the coordinate system of NSTMSS these methods were used; World Geodetic System - 1984 ...
Multi-target particle filter based track before detect algorithms for spawning targets / Eyili, Mehmet; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) In this work, a Track Before Detect (TBD) approach is proposed for tracking and detection of the spawning targets on the basis of raw radar measurements. The principle of this approach is mainly constructed by multi-model particle filter method. In contrast to the related works in the literature, a novel reduced order dynamic model is introduced and the information about bearing angle derived from the radar measurements is not used in this model to improve the efficiency of the particle filter. Moreover, a ...
Slow moving target detection for airborne radar systems by dynamic programming on SAR images Gurer, Gorkem; Koc, Sencer; Candan, Çağatay; Orguner, Umut (2019-04-01) A dynamic programming based approach is proposed to detect slow moving, low reflectivity targets for airborne radar systems. The suggested method utilizes the reflectivity amplitudes of the SAR image, possibly containing multiple slow moving targets, and poses the target detection problem as a maximum likelihood sequence detection problem. Dynamic programming is applied to capture the target related features such as along track smeared target signatures in the SAR image to this aim. Typical clutter and targ...
