Variational smoothing for extended target tracking with random matrices
Kartal, Savaş Erdem; Orguner, Umut; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-4-05)
In this thesis, two Bayesian smoothers are proposed for random matrix based extended target tracking (ETT). The proposed smoothers are based on the variational Bayes techniques and they are derived for an extended target model without and with orientation. The random matrix models of Feldman et al. and Tuncer and Özkan are used as the extended target models without and with orientation, respectively. The performance of both smoothers is evaluated using simulation results on two different scenarios. It is se...
Variational Approach to Power Evolution in Cascaded Fiber Raman Laser
Tarman, Işık Hakan (2010-11-01)
A variational approach is formulated and implemented for numerically solving a system of nonlinear two-point boundary value problem (BVP) with coupled boundary conditions modeling the power evolution in cascaded fiber Raman laser with the fiber Bragg gratings at the ends of the cavity. The nonlinearity is treated by successive linearization and the coupled boundary conditions are naturally incorporated into the system through integration in the variational setting. A global approximation of the dependent va...
Variational Bayes methods for random matrix-based extended target tracking
Tuncer, Barkın; Özkan, Emre; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-2-10)
In this thesis, we investigate two major topics; Random matrix-based models using variational Bayes inference for extended target tracking and shape classification algorithms for tracking applications. In the scope of this thesis, we have derived two novel random matrix-based tracking algorithms. First, to represent the extent of dynamic objects as an ellipsoid with a time-varying orientation angle, and secondly, to estimate the extent of the object or a group of objects with more than one ellipsoid. In bo...
Variational Measurement Update for Extended Object Tracking Using Gaussian Processes
Kumru, Murat; Özkan, Emre (2021-01-01)
We present an alternative inference framework for the Gaussian process-based extended object tracking (GPEOT) models. The method provides an approximate solution to the Bayesian filtering problem in GPEOT by relying on a new measurement update, which we derive using variational Bayes techniques. The resulting algorithm effectively computes approximate posterior densities of the kinematic and the extent states. We conduct various experiments on simulated and real data and examine the performance compared wit...
Variational time discretization methods for optimal control problems governed by diffusion-convection-reaction equations
Akman, Tugba; Karasözen, Bülent (2014-12-15)
In this paper, the distributed optimal control problem governed by unsteady diffusion-convection-reaction equation without control constraints is studied. Time discretization is performed by variational discretization using continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods, while symmetric interior penalty Galerkin with upwinding is used for space discretization. We investigate the commutativity properties of the optimize-then-discretize and discretize-then-optimize approaches for the continuous and discontinuo...
