On-road trajectory generation from GPS data: A particle filtering/smoothing application

Many studies in target localization and tracking use GPS measurements as ground truth. These GPS locations might be in conflict with computed estimates in applications where road network information is available (and employed in the estimation procedure). This paper proposes to use particle methods to generate on-road trajectories that can be used as improved ground truth for such road constrained estimation schemes. A bootstrap particle filter and three different particle smoothers are utilized to obtain kinematic target state estimates. The particle smoothers require important adjustments for their implementation in the resulting hybrid state space. The performances of the presented methods are compared on challenging real data obtained from an urban area. Although particle filters and smoothers can be applied to general localization problems, with arbitrary sensors, we concentrate on GPS measurements, motivated by an application in cellular network systems. © 2012 ISIF (Intl Society of Information Fusi).

On the Solution of Data Association Problem Using Rollout Algorithms
Ozgen, Selim; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Orguner, Umut (2016-07-08)
The quality and precision of tracking maneuvering targets under heavy clutter is highly dependent on both the data association and the state estimation algorithms. In this study, measurement-to-track association problem for a single target when P-D = 1 is discussed. The problem considers the batch set of measurements in a time interval. An approximate stochastic optimization algorithm for data association is presented. To reduce the computational load, the rollout algorithm is utilized. The algorithm is app...
Multi-scan data association algorithm for multitarget tracking
Ağırnas, Emre; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
Data association problem for multitarget tracking is determination of the relationship between targets and the incoming measurements from sensors of the target tracking system. Performance of a multitarget tracking system is strongly related to the chosen method for data association and target tracking algorithm. Incorrect data association effects state estimation of targets. In this thesis, we propose a new multi-scan data association algorithm for multitarget tracking systems. This algorithm was implement...
Range parameterized bearings only tracking using particle filter
Arslan, Ali Erkin; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
In this study, accurate target tracking for bearings-only tracking problem is investigated. A new tracking filter for this nonlinear problem is designed where both range parameterization and Rao-Blackwellized (marginalized) particle filtering techniques are used in a Gaussian mixture formulation to track both constant velocity and maneuvering targets. The idea of using target turn rate in the state equation in such a way that marginalization is possible is elaborated. Addition to nonlinear nature, unobserva...
Quantifying and mitigating class imbalance in long-tailed visual recognition
Baltacı, Zeynep Sonat; Kalkan, Sinan; Akbaş, Emre; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-7)
Objects are distributed unevenly in real world, which manifests itself as a long-tailed distribution in realistic visual recognition datasets. Deep learning based approaches trained on such imbalanced datasets using conventional gradient-based training strategies exhibit unfair recognition performances towards classes that are under-represented in the dataset. This so-called class imbalance has been studied in the literature by measuring imbalance via either class frequency or class hardness, and using thos...
An Analysis for the Correlation of Coverage and Spatial Resolution for Wireless Sensor Networks
Tomur, Emrah; Erten, Y. Murat (2007-12-10)
In this study, we investigate the interactions between coverage and spatial resolution for cluster-based wireless sensor networks (WSN). We present an approximate probabilistic analysis for the mentioned correlation and verify this analysis by simulation. Our analysis includes the k-coverage case.
