Multi target tracking with acoustic power measurements using emitted power density

2010-07-29
This paper presents a method to achieve multi target tracking using acoustic power measurements obtained from an acoustic sensor network. We first present a novel concept called emitted power density (EPD) which is an aggregate information state that holds the emitted power distribution of all targets in the scene over the target state space. It is possible to find prediction and measurement update formulas for an EPD which is conceptually similar to a probability hypothesis density (PHD). We propose a Gaussian process based representation for making the related EPD updates using Kalman filter formulas. These updates constitute a recursive EPD-filter which is based on the discretization of the position component of the target state space. The results are illustrated on a real data scenario where experiments are done with two targets constrained to a road segment.

Multi-Point Single-Antenna Sensing Enabled by Wireless Nested Split-Ring Resonator Sensors
Ozbey, Burak; ERTÜRK, VAKUR BEHÇET; Kurç, Özgür; ALTINTAŞ, AYHAN; DEMİR, Hilmi Volkan (2016-11-01)
In this paper, simultaneous multi-point wireless sensing is proposed and demonstrated via multiple sensors in nested split-ring resonator (NSRR) geometry coupled to a single illuminator antenna. In this passive multi-point sensing system, each probe in the sensor array is assigned a non-overlapping spectral interval for frequency shift in response to local mechanical loading around a unique operating resonance frequency in the band of the antenna. Here, it is shown that the antenna is capable of capturing t...
Multi-channel thin film piezoelectric acoustic transducer for cochlear implant applications
YÜKSEL, MUHAMMED BERAT; İlik, Bedirhan; Koyuncuoğlu, Aziz; Külah, Haluk (2019-10-27)
This paper presents a multi-channel piezoelectric acoustic transducer that is working within the audible frequency band (250- 5500 Hz). The transducer consists of eight cantilevers with thin film PLD-PZT piezoelectric layers. The transducer is well suited to be implanted in middle ear cavity with an active volume of 5x5x0.6 mm(3) and mass of 4.8 mg excluding the test frame. Finite Element Method (FEM) is used for modelling cantilever resonance frequencies and piezoelectric outputs. This model and shaker-tab...
A Low Complexity Two-Stage Target Detection Scheme for Resource Limited Radar Systems
Candan, Çağatay (2013-01-01)
A two-stage detector is proposed to accommodate high computational load requirements of modern radar systems. The first stage of the proposed system is a low-complexity detector that operates at an unusually high false alarm probability value around 1/10. This stage is to prescreen and eliminate some of the test cells with relatively few operations. The second stage operates only on the cells passing the prescreening stage and implements a high-complexity detector at a desired system false alarm rate. Due t...
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...
