In target tracking, standard sensors as radar and EO/IR observe the target with a negligible delay, since the speed of light is much larger than the speed of the target. This contribution studies the case where the ratio of the target and the propagation speed is not negligible, as is the case in sensor networks with microphones, geophones or sonars for instance, where the speed of air, ground waves and water cause a state dependent and stochastic delay of the observations. The proposed approach utilizes a temporary augmentation of the state vector with the observation delay, and sampling based approaches are suggested for modifying standard filters as the extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filters and possibly particle filters. An application example with bearing only tracking using a single microphone array is used as an illustration

Target Tracking With Particle Filters Under Signal Propagation Delays Orguner, Umut (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-06-01) Signal propagation delays are hardly a problem for target tracking with standard sensors such as radar and vision due to the fact that the speed of light is much higher than the speed of the target. This contribution studies the case where the ratio of the target and the propagation speed is not negligible, as in the case of sensor networks with microphones, geophones or sonars for instance, where the signal speed in air, ground and water causes a state dependent and stochastic delay of the observations. Th...
Target tracking with phased array radar by using adaptive update rate İpek, Özlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) In radar target tracking problems, it may be required to use adaptive update rate in order to maintain the tracking accuracy while allowing the radar to use its resources economically at the same time. This is generally the case if the target trajectory has maneuvering segments and in such a case the use of adaptive update time interval algorithms for estimation of the target state may enhance the tracking accuracy. Conventionally, fixed track update time interval is used in radar target tracking due to the...
Track Loss versus Computation Time Dilemma in Multitarget Ground Target Tracking Performance Korkmaz, Yusuf; Baykal, Buyurman (2013-07-12) Tracking of multiple ground targets with airborne Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) sensor measurements is a challenging problem where heavy and dense false alarms with high target density are inevitably encountered in the surveillance scenes. Hence, optimal approaches require heavy computational load where the duration of overall computation rises exponentially with the number of target tracks and measurements in observation per scan. Consequently, more practical suboptimal approaches, such as Linear M...
Interference suppression by using space-time adaptive processing for airborne radar Eryiğit, Özgür; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) is an effective method in Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) operation of airborne radars. Clutter suppression is the key to successful MTI operation. Airborne radars are different than the ground based ones in regard to clutter due to the displacement of the platform during operation. When STAP methods are to be investigated, one needs to have accurate signal models while evaluating performance. In this thesis, a comprehensive received signal model is developed firs...
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...
