In this paper, we consider the problem of estimation of average radar cross section (RCS) for Swerling 1 fluctuation model, based on the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method. In a mathematical development we take into account the event that target strength is lower than detection threshold, or the target is not detected. Our ML estimation for the SWR uses the score function that is the joint probability-pdf of the events and random variables. The solution to the ML estimation reduces to an expression in the from of a contraction mapping. The computational efficiency of the contraction mapping theorem is significant in computing the ML estimation as compared with other root-finding algorithms fur most radar tracking conditions.

Many studies have been conducted on the accurate detection and identification of targets from ground clutter, in order to improve the accuracy rate of land guided weapons. Due to the variety and complicated characteristics of the ground clutter signal compared to the target, an active target identification technique is needed. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to identify targets and divide them into different types by extracting the unique characteristics of the target through fractal dimension calculation with the characteristics of self-similarity. In the simulation using the algorithm, the probabilities of identifying the tank and truck were 100 % and 98.89 %, respectively, and the type of the target could be identified with a probability of 98 % or more.

본 논문에서는 수중 환경에서 분산 소나 시스템의 최적 정보 융합에 관한 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 기존의 방법은 Bayesian 법칙을 이용하여 local 소나와 퓨전 센터의 문턱치를 적절히 조절하여 분산 소나 시스템을 최적화했다. 그러나, 이러한 최적화 과정에서 소나의 개수를 늘려감에 따라 P/sub F/(false alarm probability)가 단조 증가하는 현상이 발생하였고 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 P/sub F/를 작은 간에 제한시키고 Bayesian 법칙과 Neyman-Pearson 법칙을 함께 적용하여 분산 소나 시스템을 최적화시킨다. 그러나, 이러한 조건 하에 시스템을 최적화시키는 것은 N-P hard 문제에 의해 계산 부하가 매우 크므로 unate 함수와 SQP(Sequential Quadratic Programming)을 이용하여 계산 부하를 감소시켰다.

This paper is aimed to develop a Lanchester type combat model for the direct-fire engagement. This model incorporates number of combatants, inter-firing time, detection time by movement, detection probability by the signature of fire, where the inter-firing time and the detection time are assumed to follow a negative exponential distribution. The approach to modeling is as follows : in the process of an engagement, a combatant takes one of the states('observing' state or 'firing' state), a combatant is initially in the observing state, if the combatant detects a target, he changes his state from 'observing' to 'firing' and will cause attrition to the opposing forces. Thus this transition mechanism is embodied into the differential equation form with each transition rate. A limited examination of the validity has been conducted by comparison with the Monte-Carlo simulation model 'BAGSIM', and with a traditional Deterministic Lanchester model.

This paper comparatively analyze to integration case to have a influence detection range estimation about radar cross section in radar system. This paper estimate detection range used to probability of detection in radar equation that used to swerling case 1 in case of radar cross section is small and used to swerling case 3 in case of radar cross section is large. Through simulation, coherent integration and non-coherent integration about swerling case difference were comparatively analyzed. In the result of comparative analysis, non-coherent integration case is outstanding detection range and we known that coherent integration don't suitable for detection range estimation.

Animal disease surveillance system, defined as the continuous investigation of a given population to detect the occurrence of disease or infection for control purposes, has been key roles to assess the health status of an animal population and, more recently, in international trade of animal and animal products with regard to risk assessment. Especially, for a system aiming to determine whether or not a disease is present in a population sensitivity of the system should be maintained high enough not to miss an infected animal. Therefore, when planning the implementation of surveillance system a number of factors that affecting surveillance sensitivity should be taken into account. Of these parameters sample size is of important, and different approaches are used to calculate sample size, usually depending on the objective of surveillance systems. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of the current national serological surveillance programs for four selected bovine diseases assuming a specified sampling plan, to examine factors affecting the probability of detection, and to provide sample sizes required for achieving surveillance goal of detecting at least an infection in a given population. Our results showed that, for example, detecting low level of prevalence (0.2% for bovine tuberculosis) requires selection of all animals per typical Korean cattle farm (n = 17), and thus risk-based target surveillance for high risk groups can be an alternative strategy to increase sensitivity while not increasing overall sampling efforts. The minimum sample size required for detecting at least one positive animal was sharply increased as the disease prevalence is low. More importantly, high reliability of prevalence estimation was expected with increased sampling fraction even when zero-infected animal was identified. The effect of sample size is also discussed in terms of the maximum prevalence when zero-infected animals were identified and on the probability of failure to detect an infection. We suggest that for many serological surveillance systems, diagnostic performance of the testing method, sample size, prevalence, population size, and statistical confidence need to be considered to correctly interpret results of the system.

Visual search in an unstructured search field is a fruitful research area for computational modeling. Search models that describe relationship between search time and probability of target detection have been used for prediction of human search performance and provision of ideal goals for search training. Until recently, however, most of models were focused on detecting a single target in a search field, although, in practice, a search field includes multiple targets and search models for multiple targets may differ from search models for a single target. This study proposed a random search model for multiple targets, generalizing a random search model for a single target which is the most typical search model. To test this model, human search data were collected and compared with the model. This model well predicted human performance in visual search for multiple targets. This paper also proposed how to determine optimal stopping time in multiple-target search.

Due to uncertainties in target motion and randomness of deployed sensor nodes, the problem of imbalance of energy consumption arises from sensor scheduling. This paper presents an energy-efficient adaptive sensor scheduling for a target monitoring algorithm in a local monitoring region of wireless sensor networks. Owing to excessive scheduling of an individual node, one node with a high value generated by a decision function is preferentially selected as a tasking node to balance the local energy consumption of a dynamic clustering, and the node with the highest value is chosen as the cluster head. Others with lower ones are in reserve. In addition, an optimization problem is derived to satisfy the problem of sensor scheduling subject to the joint detection probability for tasking sensors. Particles of the target in particle filter algorithm are resampled for a higher tracking accuracy. Simulation results show this algorithm can improve the required tracking accuracy, and nodes are efficiently scheduled. Hence, there is a 41.67% savings in energy consumption.

In this paper, we investigate cooperative spectrum sensing scheme for sensor network-aided cognitive radio systems with energy harvesting capability. In the proposed model, each sensor node harvests ambient energy from environment such as solar, wind, mechanical vibration, or thermoelectric effect. We propose adaptive cooperative spectrum sensing scheme in which each sensor node adaptively carries out energy detection depending on the residual energy in its energy storage and then conveys the sensing result to the fusion center. From simulation results, we show that the proposed scheme minimizes the false alarm probability for given target detection probability by adjusting the number of samples for energy detector.

TFT-LCD image consists of ununiform background, random noises and target defect signal components. Defects in TFT-LCD have some intensity variations compared to background region. It is sometimes difficult for human inspectors to figure out. In this paper, we propose multi-level threshold scheme for detection of the real defect using probability density function with Parzen Window. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithms produce promising results and can be applied to automated inspection systems for finding defects in the TFT-LCD image.
