Ground multiple target tracking with a network of acoustic sensor arrays using PHD and CPHD filters

2011-07-08
In this paper, we explore the potential of networked microphone arrays for multiple target tracking. Tracking is accomplished by using the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimates of multiple microphone arrays. Each microphone array obtains the DOA estimates by using the wideband extensions of the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) technique. Based on these DOA estimates, multi target tracking is done by using Probability hypothesis density (PHD) and cardinalized probability hypothesis density (CPHD) algorithms. The results show that the CPHD performs better than the PHD on real data as it estimates the number of targets more accurately.

Distributed Target Tracking with Propagation Delayed Measurements
Orguner, Umut (2009-07-09)
This paper presents a framework for making distributed target tracking under significant signal propagation delays between the target and the sensors. Each sensor considered makes estimation using its own measurements compensating for the involved signal propagation delay using a deterministic sampling based algorithm proposed previously. Since the individual sensor readings might not be enough to localize the target, the sensors have to share their estimates with each other at specific time instants and co...
Electromagnetic Target Classification using time frequency analysis and neural networks
Sayan, Gönül; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (Wiley, 1999-04-01)
This paper demonstrates the feasibility and advantages of using a self-organizing map (SOM)-type neural network classifier for electromagnetic target recognition. The classifier is supported by a novel feature extraction unit in which the Wigner distribution (WD), a time-frequency representation, is utilized for the extraction of natural-resonance-related energy feature vectors from scattered fields. The proposed target classification technique is tested for a set of canonical targets, displaying an excelle...
Target tracking and sensor placement for doppler–only measurements
Ayazgök, Süleyman; Orguner, Umut; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
This thesis investigates the problems of target tracking and optimal sensor placement with Doppler-only measurements. First, a single point track initialization algorithm proposed in the literature is investigated for Doppler-only tracking. The initialization algorithm is based on separable least squares method and involves a grid-based optimization. Second, particle filters are considered for Doppler-only tracking and they are compared to an extended Kalman filter (EKF). It is shown that a classical bootst...
Target localization methods for frequency - only MIMO radar
Kalkan, Yılmaz; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
This dissertation is focused on developing the new target localization and the target velocity estimation methods for frequency-only multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) radar systems with widely separated antennas. If the frequency resolutions of the transmitted signals are enough, only the received frequencies and the Doppler shifts can be used to find the position of the target. In order to estimate the position and the velocity of the target, most multistatic radars or radar networks use multiple independen...
