Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research program is to develop optimization algorithms that solve key problems in multiple target tracking and sensor data fusion. The central problem in multiple target tracking is the data association problem of partitioning sensor reports into tracks and false alarms. New classes of data association problems have been formulated and initial algorithms developed to address cluster tracking, merged measurements, and even sensor resource management in the form of "group-assignments." In a different direction, an efficient k-best algorithm has been developed to approximate the uncertainty in data association, which is ontical for discrimination or combat identification. Statistical Monte Carlo methods are also applicable and are still under investigation. Bias estimation algorithms using known data association such as truth objects and targets of opportunity have been developed. Bias estimation in which data association is unknown is difficult due to the nonconvex and mixed integer nature of the mathematical formulation. Exact and approximate algorithms have been developed and successfully applied to system tracking. As a prerequisite to the development of multiple target tracking approaches to space surveillance, consistent measures of uncertainty for initial orbit determination and the propagation of the uncertainty over time have been developed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central problem in any surveillance system is the data association problem of partitioning observations into tracks and false alarms. Over the last fifteen years and with support from AFOSR, a new approach has been developed based on the use of multi-dimensional assignment problem formulation and Lagrangian relaxation algorithms. (This approach is often called multiple frame assignments or MFA for short.) Four U.S. patents have now been issued for this work. What is more, based on this new technology, Lockheed Martin of Oswego, NY won the best of Breed Tracking Contest for the next upgrade to AWACS held at Hanscom AFB in Boston in 1996, and it has been chosen as the tracking system for the Navy's new multipurpose helicopter under the LAMPS program. Currently, it is a contender for national and ballistic missile defense in the Hercules Program funded by MD Advanced Systems, for STSS Program as funded by the Department of the Air Force (in 2001 and 2002) and MDA in 2003.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some time, all branches of the military have used a wide range of sensors to provide data for many purposes, including surveillance, reconnoitring, target detection and battle damage assessment. Many nations have also attempted to utilise these sensors for civilian applications, such as crop monitoring, agricultural disease tracking, environmental diagnostics, cartography, ocean temperature profiling, urban planning, and the characterisation of the Ozone Hole above Antarctica. The recent convergence of several important technologies has made possible new, advanced, high performance, sensor based applications relying on the near-simultaneous fusion of data from an ensemble of different types of sensors. The book examines the underlying principles of sensor operation and data fusion, the techniques and technologies that enable the process, including the operation of 'fusion engines'. Fundamental theory and the enabling technologies of data fusion are presented in a systematic and accessible manner. Applications are discussed in the areas of medicine, meteorology, BDA and targeting, transportation, cartography, the environment, agriculture, and manufacturing and process control.

This book was released on 2007-05-11 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information fusion resulting from multi-source processing, often called multisensor data fusion when sensors are the main sources of information, is a relatively young (less than 20 years) technology domain. It provides techniques and methods for: Integrating data from multiple sources and using the complementarity of this data to derive maximum information about the phenomenon being observed; Analyzing and deriving the meaning of these observations; Selecting the best course of action; and Controlling the actions. Various sensors have been designed to detect some specific phenomena, but not others. Data fusion applications can combine synergically information from many sensors, including data provided by satellites and contextual and encyclopedic knowledge, to provide enhanced ability to detect and recognize anomalies in the environment, compared with conventional means. Data fusion is an integral part of multisensor processing, but it can also be applied to fuse non-sensor information (geopolitical, intelligence, etc.) to provide decision support for a timely and effective situation and threat assessment. One special field of application for data fusion is satellite imagery, which can provide extensive information over a wide area of the electromagnetic spectrum using several types of sensors (Visible, Infra-Red (IR), Thermal IR, Radar, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Polarimetric SAR (PolSAR), Hyperspectral...). Satellite imagery provides the coverage rate needed to identify and monitor human activities from agricultural practices (land use, crop types identification...) to defence-related surveillance (land/sea target detection and classification). By acquiring remotely sensed imagery over earth regions that land sensors cannot access, valuable information can be gathered for the defence against terrorism. This books deals with the following research areas: Target recognition/classification and tracking; Sensor systems; Image processing; Remote sensing and remote control; Belief functions theory; and Situation assessment.

Book excerpt: YUNMIN ZHU In the past two decades, multi sensor or multi-source information fusion tech niques have attracted more and more attention in practice, where observations are processed in a distributed manner and decisions or estimates are made at the individual processors, and processed data (or compressed observations) are then transmitted to a fusion center where the final global decision or estimate is made. A system with multiple distributed sensors has many advantages over one with a single sensor. These include an increase in the capability, reliability, robustness and survivability of the system. Distributed decision or estimation fusion prob lems for cases with statistically independent observations or observation noises have received significant attention (see Varshney's book Distributed Detec tion and Data Fusion, New York: Springer-Verlag, 1997, Bar-Shalom's book Multitarget-Multisensor Tracking: Advanced Applications, vol. 1-3, Artech House, 1990, 1992,2000). Problems with statistically dependent observations or observation noises are more difficult and have received much less study. In practice, however, one often sees decision or estimation fusion problems with statistically dependent observations or observation noises. For instance, when several sensors are used to detect a random signal in the presence of observation noise, the sensor observations could not be statistically independent when the signal is present. This book provides a more complete treatment of the fundamentals of multi sensor decision and estimation fusion in order to deal with general random ob servations or observation noises that are correlated across the sensors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 15-17, 1993, a conference on Large Scale Optimization, hosted by the Center for Applied Optimization, was held at the University of Florida. The con ference was supported by the National Science Foundation, the U. S. Army Research Office, and the University of Florida, with endorsements from SIAM, MPS, ORSA and IMACS. Forty one invited speakers presented papers on mathematical program ming and optimal control topics with an emphasis on algorithm development, real world applications and numerical results. Participants from Canada, Japan, Sweden, The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Greece, and Denmark gave the meeting an important international component. At tendees also included representatives from IBM, American Airlines, US Air, United Parcel Serice, AT & T Bell Labs, Thinking Machines, Army High Performance Com puting Research Center, and Argonne National Laboratory. In addition, the NSF sponsored attendance of thirteen graduate students from universities in the United States and abroad. Accurate modeling of scientific problems often leads to the formulation of large scale optimization problems involving thousands of continuous and/or discrete vari ables. Large scale optimization has seen a dramatic increase in activities in the past decade. This has been a natural consequence of new algorithmic developments and of the increased power of computers. For example, decomposition ideas proposed by G. Dantzig and P. Wolfe in the 1960's, are now implement able in distributed process ing systems, and today many optimization codes have been implemented on parallel machines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition has undergone substantial revision from the 1999 first edition, recognizing that a lot has changed in the multiple target tracking field. One of the most dramatic changes is in the widespread use of particle filters to implement nonlinear, non-Gaussian Bayesian trackers. This book views multiple target tracking as a Bayesian inference problem. Within this framework it develops the theory of single target tracking, multiple target tracking, and likelihood ratio detection and tracking. In addition to providing a detailed description of a basic particle filter that implements the Bayesian single target recursion, this resource provides numerous examples that involve the use of particle filters. With these examples illustrating the developed concepts, algorithms, and approaches -- the book helps radar engineers develop tracking solutions when observations are non-linear functions of target state, when the target state distributions or measurement error distributions are not Gaussian, in low data rate and low signal to noise ratio situations, and when notions of contact and association are merged or unresolved among more than one target.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book shows that the analytic combinatorics (AC) method encodes the combinatorial problems of multiple object tracking—without information loss—into the derivatives of a generating function (GF). The book lays out an easy-to-follow path from theory to practice and includes salient AC application examples. Since GFs are not widely utilized amongst the tracking community, the book takes the reader from the basics of the subject to applications of theory starting from the simplest problem of single object tracking, and advancing chapter by chapter to more challenging multi-object tracking problems. Many established tracking filters (e.g., Bayes-Markov, PDA, JPDA, IPDA, JIPDA, CPHD, PHD, multi-Bernoulli, MBM, LMBM, and MHT) are derived in this manner with simplicity, economy, and considerable clarity. The AC method gives significant and fresh insights into the modeling assumptions of these filters and, thereby, also shows the potential utility of various approximation methods that are well established techniques in applied mathematics and physics, but are new to tracking. These unexplored possibilities are reviewed in the final chapter of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given a set of target detections over several time periods, this paper addresses the multi-target tracking problem (MTT) of optimally assigning detections to targets and estimating the trajectory of the targets over time. MTT has been studied in the literature via predominantly probabilistic methods. In contrast to these approaches, we propose the use of mixed integer optimization (MIO) models and local search algorithms that are (a) scalable, as they provide near optimal solutions for six targets and ten time periods in milliseconds to seconds, (b) general, as they make no assumptions on the data, (c) robust, as they can accommodate missed and false detections of the targets, and (d) easily implementable, as they use at most two tuning parameters. We evaluate the performance of the new methods using a novel metric for complexity of an instance and find that they provide high quality solutions both reliably and quickly for a large range of scenarios, resulting in a promising approach to the area of MTT.
