As the radar mounted on a moving platform moves and rotates, the state of the radar's coordinate system also changes. At this time, in order to track target, the target's coordinates should be converted using the platform state measured from the sensor, and tracking performance may deteriorate due to causes such as sensor noise, communication delay, and sensor update cycle. In this paper, to minimize the degradation of tracking performance because of sensor error, we designed a navigation filter to estimate the state of the moving platform and analyzed the effect of improving tracking performance by applying the navigation filter through a simulation test. To design this navigation filter, three filter algorithms were applied and analyzed to confirm the effect of improving platform position and attitude performance for each filter, and the navigation filter designed by applying the highest performance filter algorithm was applied to a tracking simulation test. Finally we confirmed Improvement in tracking performance before and after applying navigation filters.

This paper proposes a novel forward vehicle tracking algorithm based on the WMIL(Weighted Multiple Instance Learning) equipped with a particle filter. In the proposed algorithm Haar-like features are used to train a vehicle object detector to be tracked and the location of the object are obtained from the recognition result. In order to combine both the WMIL to construct the vehicle detector and the particle filter, the proposed algorithm updates the object location by executing the propagation, observation, estimation, and selection processes involved in particle filter instead of finding the credence map in the search area for every frame. The proposed algorithm inevitably increases the computation time because of the particle filter, but the tracking accuracy was highly improved compared to Ababoost, MIL(Multiple Instance Learning) and MIL-based ones so that the position error was 4.5 pixels in average for the videos of national high-way, express high-way, tunnel and urban paved road scene.

This paper deals with the tracking problem of a moving target using multiple unmanned aerial vehicles. A decentralized extended information filter is designed to cooperatively estimate the position and the velocity of the moving target. The extended information filter is adopted to consider the range and the line-of-sight angle as measurement data. The decentralized scheme is applied to enhance the estimation performance using the information provided by other vehicles. Numerical simulation is performed to verify the tracking performance of the proposed decentralized filters.

본 논문에서는 빠른 수행 속도를 가지고 여러 대의 차량을 동시에 추적할 수 있는 다중 차량 추적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이러한 작업은 연속 영상으로부터 움직이는 물체의 동작 정보를 구하는 동작 분할(motion segmentation)단계와 칼만 필터(Kalman filter)를 이용해서 물체의 위치를 예측하는 동작 예측(motion estimation)단계로 나누어진다. 제안된 알고리즘은 아핀 동작 모델(Affine motion model)을 적용하여 동작 정보를 근사화함으로써 두 개의 선형 칼만 필터를 사용하고, 칼만 필터에서 예측된 위치 정보를 동작 분할 과정에 사용하여 빠른 추적이 이루어지도록 하였다. 또한, 다중 물체 추적 시 중요한 데이터 연결 문제(data association problem)를 해결하기 위해서 패턴 인식 방법을 도입하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 고속 도로 영상에 대해 적용했을 때, 빠르고 정확한 다중 차량 추적이 이루어짐을 실험 결과를 통해 보였다.

본 논문에서는 CONDENSATION 알고리즘을 이용하여 입자 필터(particle filter)에 기반한 물체 추적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 입자 필터는 조건 확률 전파 모델(Conditional Density Propagation)인 베이지안(Bayesian) 추론 규칙을 적용하는 추적 구조를 갖고 있기 때문에 다른 어떤 종류의 추적 알고리즘보다 뛰어난 성능을 보인다. 논문에서는 실험 결과를 통해, 외곽(Contour) 추적 입자 필터가 복잡한 환경 속에서 강인한 추적 성능을 나타냄을 증명한다.

In this paper. we predict tracking performance of the probabilistic strongest neighbor filter (PSNF). The PSNF is known to be consistent and superior to the probabilistic data association filter (PDAF) in both performance and computation. The PSNF takes into account the probability that the measurement with the strongest intensity in the neighborhood of the predicted target measurement location is not target-originated. The tracking performance of the PSNF is quantified in terms of its estimation error covariance matrix. The estimation error covariance matrix is approximately evaluated by using the hybrid conditional average approach (HYCA). We performed numerical experiments to show the validity of our performance prediction.

In this paper, we describe a strongly improved tracking method using combination of CAMshift and Kalman filter algorithm. CAMshift algorithm doesn't consider the object's moving direction and velocity information when it set the search windows for tracking. However if Kalman filter is combined with CAMshift for setting the search window, it can accurately predict the object's location with the object's present location and velocity information. By using this prediction before CAMshift algorithm, we can track fast moving objects successfully. Also in this research, we show better tracking results than conventional approaches which make use of single color information by using both color information of HSV and YCrCb simultaneously. This modified approach obtains more robust color segmentation than others using single color information.

When a tracking filter may be designed in the Cartesian coordinate, the covariance of the measurement errors varies according to the range and the bearing of an interested target. In this paper, interacting multiple model based tracking filter is formulated in the Cartesian coordinate utilizing the analytic solution of the steady state Kalman filter, which can be able to consider the variation of the measurement error covariance. 100 Monte Carlo runs performed to verify the proposed method. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the conventional fixed gain and Kalman filter based IMM tracking filter in terms of the root mean square error. The simulation results show that the proposed approach meaningfully reduces the computation time and provides a similar tracking performance in comparison with the conventional Kalman filter based IMM tracking filter.

Multi-target tracking system is defined as tracking several targets simultaneously. Kalman filter is widely used for target tracking problems. Kalman filter is known to be extremely useful as an optimal estimator but has a shortcoming of computational complexity. So a simplified estimator model which had less computational burden is proposed for a real-time implementation of multi-target tracking systems. In this paper, Kalman filter is applied to implement a real-time tracking system with a simplified target model. The proposed Kalman filter model is simpler compared with those of conventional ones, greatly reducing computation time, yet keeping the tracking abilities of the optimal Kalman filter. Through both simulations and experiments with real environments, it is demonstrated that the proposed simplified model works good in real situation with multiple to be tracked.
