In this paper, a target tracking algorithm for tracking maneuvering vehicles is presented. The overall algorithm belongs to the category of an interacting multiple-model (IMM) algorithm used to detect multiple targets using fused information from multiple sensors. First, two kinematic models are derived: a constant velocity model for linear motions, and a constant-speed turn model for curvilinear motions. Fpr the constant-speed turn model, a nonlinear information filter is used in place of the extended Kalman filter. Being equivalent to the Kalman filter (KF) algebraically, the information filter is extended to N-sensor distributed dynamic systems. The model-matched filter used in multi-sensor environments takes the form of a federated nonlinear information filter. In multi-sensor environments, the information-based filter is easier to decentralize, initialize, and fuse than a KF-based filter. In this paper, the structural features and information sharing principle of the federated information filter are discussed. The performance of the suggested algorithm using a Monte Carlo simulation under the two patterns is evaluated.

일반적으로 비선형 시스템에서 particle filter가 Kalman Filter보다 표적추적 성능이 뛰어나다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 particle filter는 많은 연산량을 요구하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 particle filter 보다 적은 particle의 수, 즉 적은 연산량으로 동일한 성능을 가지는 Rao-Blackwellized particle filter의 모델의 민감성을 줄인 Rao-Blackwellized Multiple Model Particle Filter(RBMMPF)의 알고리즘을 소개하고 이에 다중센서 정보를 융합하는 자료융합 기법을 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 단일센서 정보를 이용한 RBMMPF 표적추적 성능과 다중센서정보를 융합한 RBMMPF의 표적추적 성능을 비교, 분석하였다.

This paper considers a tracking filter algorithm which can track a maneuvering target. Multiresolutional Interacting Multiple Model (MRIMM) algorithm is proposed to reduce computational burden. In this paper multiresolutional state space model equation and multiresolutional measurement equation are derived by using wavelet transform. This paper shows the outline of MRIMM algorithm. Simulation results show that MRIMM algorithm maintains a good tracking performance and reduces computational burden.

The multiple targets tracking problem has been one of the main issues in the radar applications area in the last decade. Besides the standard Kalman filtering, various methods including the variable dimen-sion filter, input estimation filter, interacting multiple model(IMM) filter, dederated variable dimension filter with input estimation, etc., have proposed to address the tracking and sensor fusion issues. In this pa- per, two existing tracking algorithm, i.e, the IMM filter and the variable dimension filter with input estima-tion(VDIE), are combined for the purpose of improving the tracking performance for maneuvering targets. To evaluate the tracking performance of the proposed algorithm, three typical maneuvering patterns, i.e., waver, pop-up, and high-diver motions, are defined and are applied to the modified IMM filter as well as the standard IMM filter. The smaller RMS tracking errors, in position and velocity, of the modified IMM filter than the standard IMM filter are demonstrated though computer simulations.

Direct tracking problem of moving noncircular sources for multiple arrays is investigated in this study. Here, we propose an improved unscented particle filter (I-UPF) direct tracking method, which combines system proportional symmetry unscented particle filter and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. Noncircular sources can extend the dimension of sources matrix, and the direct tracking accuracy is improved. This method uses multiple arrays to receive sources. Firstly, set up a direct tracking model through consecutive time and Doppler information. Subsequently, based on the improved unscented particle filter algorithm, the proposed tracking model is to improve the direct tracking accuracy and reduce computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed improved unscented particle filter algorithm for noncircular sources has enhanced tracking accuracy than Markov Chain Monte Carlo unscented particle filter algorithm, Markov Chain Monte Carlo extended Kalman particle filter, and two-step tracking method.

In this paper, we propose an interacting multiple model (IMM) method using intelligent tracking filter with fuzzy gain to reduce tracking errors for maneuvering targets. In the proposed filter, the unknown acceleration input for each sub-model is determined by mismatches between the modelled target dynamics and the actual target dynamics. After a acceleration input is detected, the state estimates for each sub-filter are modified. To modify the accurate estimation, we propose the fuzzy gain based on the relation between the filter residual and its variation. To optimize each fuzzy system, we utilize the genetic algorithm (GA). The tracking performance of the proposed method is compared with those of the adaptive interacting multiple model(AIMM) method and input estimation (IE) method through computer simulations.

비정상 잡음에 오염된 음성신호의 향상을 위하여 혼합 은닉필터모델 (HFM: Hidden Filter Model)에 기초한 기법을 제안하였다. 오염된 음성신호를 선형상태방정식으로 모델링하고 파라미터는 마코프 모델에 따른다고 가정하였다. 이 파라미터들은 잡음에 오염되지 않은 학습신호로부터 추정할 수 있다. 추정과정은 혼합 상호복합모델 (IMM: Interacting Multiple Model)에 기초하여 이루어지며, 음성신호의 추정값은 상호작용하는 병렬의 칼만 필터들의 가중합으로 주어진다. 실험결과로부터 제안한 방법의 성능이 기존의 방법에 비해 개선되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose an interacting multiple model (IMM) method using intelligent tracking filter with fuzzy gain to reduce tracking errors for maneuvering targets. In the proposed filter, to exactly estimate for each sub-model, we propose the fuzzy gain based on the relation between the filter residual and its variation. To optimize each fuzzy system, we utilize the genetic algorithm (GA). Finally, the tracking performance of the proposed method is compared with those of the adaptive interacting multiple model (AIMM) method and input estimation (IE) method through computer simulations.

In this paper, a nonlinear information filter (IF) for curvilinear motions in an interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm to track a maneuvering vehicle on a road is investigated. Driving patterns of vehicles on a road are modeled as stochastic hybrid systems. In order to track the maneuvering vehicles, two kinematic models are derived: A constant velocity model for linear motions and a constant-speed turn model for curvilinear motions. For the constant-speed turn model, a nonlinear IF is used in place of the extended Kalman filter in nonlinear systems. The suggested algorithm reduces the root mean squares error for linear motions and rapidly detects possible turning motions.
