Target selection is the task of assigning a value or priority to various targets in a scenario. This priority is usually determined by the threat the target poses on the defender in addition to its vulnerability to possible measures to be taken by the defender. In this study, we describe a target selection technique based on neural networks. The utility or value of each target is assumed to be an unknown function acting on certain features of the target such as size, intensity, speed and direction of movement. Neural networks used in the context of function estimation is a viable candidate for determining this unknown function for generating target priorities. Various. neural network configurations are examined and simulation results are presented.

OBJECT LOCALIZATION WITHOUT BOUNDING BOX INFORMATION USING GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL REINFORCEMENT LEARNING
Halici, Eren; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2018-10-10)
Object localization can be defined as the task of finding the bounding boxes of objects in a scene. Most of the state-of-the-art approaches utilize meticulously handcrafted training datasets. In this work, we are aiming to create a generative adversarial reinforcement learning framework, which can work without having any explicit bounding box information. Instead of relying on bounding boxes, our framework uses tightly cropped object images as training data. Our image localization framework consists of two ...
Target selection using a utility theoretic approach
Ozener, Mehmet Serhat; Yardimci, Yasemin (2001-08-02)
Modern target tracking systems perform different tasks among which are target detection, selection and tracking. in this study, we describe a target selection technique based on Utility Theory. The utility of each target is assumed to be a linear combination of some basis functions that act on certain features of the target such as size, intensity, speed and direction. The unknown parameters of the basis functions and their weights are selected using a descent type optimization technique. Simulation results...
Tracking of ground targets with interacting multiple model estimator
Acar, Duygu; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) estimator is used extensively to estimate trajectories of maneuvering targets in cluttered environment. In the standard tracking methods, it is assumed that movement of target is applicable to a certain model and the target could be monitored via the usage of status predictions of that model. However, targets can make different maneuvering movements. At that time, expression of target dynamic model with only one model can be insufficient. In IMM approach, target dynamic mode...
Target tracking with input estimation
Gazioğlu, Ersen; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, the target tracking problem with input estimation is investigated. The estimation performance of the optimum decoding based smoothing algorithm and a target tracking scheme based on the Kalman filter is compared by performing simulations. The advantages and the disadvantages of these algorithms are presented.
On Spawning and Combination of Extended/Group Targets Modeled With Random Matrices
Granstrom, Karl; Orguner, Umut (2013-02-01)
In extended/group target tracking, where the extensions of the targets are estimated, target spawning and combination events might have significant implications on the extensions. This paper investigates target spawning and combination events for the case that the target extensions are modeled in a random matrix framework. The paper proposes functions that should be provided by the tracking filter in such a scenario. The results, which are obtained by a gamma Gaussian inverse Wishart implementation of an ex...
