A new interacting multiple model (IMM) method based on intelligent input estimation (IIE) is proposed for tracking a maneuvering target. In the proposed method, the acceleration level of each sub-filter is determined by IIE using the fuzzy system, which is optimized by the genetic algorithm (GA). The tracking performance of the proposed method is compared with those of the input estimation (IE) technique and the adaptive interacting multiple model (AIMM) method in computer simulations.

In order to develop an active safety system which avoids or mitigates collisions with preceding vehicles such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB), accurate state estimation of the nearby vehicles is very important. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed using 3 dynamic models to better estimate the state of a vehicle which has various dynamic patterns in both longitudinal and lateral direction. In particular, the proposed algorithm is based on the Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) method which employs three different dynamic models, in cruise mode, lateral maneuver mode and longitudinal maneuver mode. In addition, a Probabilistic Data Association Filter (PDAF) is utilized as a data association algorithm which can improve the reliability of the measurement under a clutter environment. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, it is simulated in comparison with a Kalman filter method which employs a single dynamic model. Finally, the proposed method is validated using radar data obtained from the field test in the proving ground.

송신기와 수신기가 분리되어 있는 양상태 소나를 자함에 설치하여 운용하고 다수의 클러터가 존재하는 환경에서 표적추적을 수행하기 위해서는 양상태 소나에 알맞은 측정치 모델링이 적용된 자료결합 알고리듬이 요구된다. 자함이 기동하는 구간에서는 송신기와 수신기의 위치가 많이 흔들림에 따라 측정치에 오차가 많이 커지게 되어, 이 구간에서 얻은 측정치정보를 이용하면 추적성능저하가 생기게 된다. 본 논문에서는 공정잡음이 다른 다수모델기반의 자료결합 알고리듬인 IMM-IPDA(Interacting Multiple Model-Integrated Probabilistic Data Association)를 사용하였고, 몬테칼로 시뮬레이션을 통해 추적성능향상을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 GNSS (global navigation satellite system)이 가용하지 않는 상황에서 시간이 지남에 따라 오차가 누적되는 특성을 가진 관성항법장치(inertial navigation system)의 항법 오차를 보상하기 위한 EM-Log (electromagnetic-log) 보정항법 필터를 설계하였다. EM-Log는 해상에서 운동체의 이동 속도를 측정하여 속도 오차를 보정하여 주나 측정된 속도에는 해조류가 포함되어 있기 때문에 적절한 해조류 모델 설계와 추정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 해조류 추정을 위해 단일 모델 필터와 IMM (interacting multiple model) 모델 필터 방법론을 제시하고 설계된 필터의 해조류 추정 성능을 확인한 후 해조류 모델 설계가 필터 성능에 어떤 영향을 주는지 분석하였다. 설계된 보정항법 필터의 성능은 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 검증하고 순수항법 대비 필터 성능 향상률을 비교 분석하였다. 단일 모델 필터는 해조류 모델이 동일한 경우 성능이 좋지만 해조류 모델이 동일하지 않을 경우 성능이 저하되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 반면, IMM 모델 필터의 경우 다양한 해조류 모델을 사용하기 때문에 단일 모델필터 대비 안정적인 성능을 유지하는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 시변가산유색잡음에 오염된 음성신호의 향상을 위한 MIMM(mixture interacting multiple model) 알고리즘을 제안 한다. 제안된 방법에서 음성신호는 혼합 은닉필터모델(hidden filter model: HFM)로 모델링되며, 잡음신호는 하나의 은닉필터로 모델링 된다. MIMM 알고리즘은 혼합 은닉필터모델에 의한 다중 Kalman 필터링에 기초한 회귀계산이기 때문에 계산량이 많아, Kalman 필터링 식의 구조적 측면에서 효율적인 계산이 가능하도록 알고리즘을 구현했다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존의 결과 [4,5]에 비하여 성능향상이 이루어 졌음을 보여 준다.

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.

This paper studies the problem of tracking a re-entry vehicle (RV) in order to predict its impact point on the ground. Re-entry target dynamics combined with super-high speed has a complex non-linearity due to ballistic coefficient variations. However, it is difficult to construct a database for the ballistic coefficient of a unknown vehicle for a wide range of variations, thus the reliability of target tracking performance cannot be guaranteed if accurate ballistic coefficient estimation is not achieved. Various techniques for ballistic coefficient estimation have been previously proposed, but limitations exist for the estimation of non-linear parts accurately without obtaining prior information. In this paper we propose the ballistic coefficient ${\beta}$ model-based interacting multiple model-extended Kalman filter (${\beta}$-IMM-EKF) for precise tracking of an RV. To evaluate the performance, other ballistic coefficient model based filters, which are gamma augmented filter, gamma bootstrapped filter were compared and assessed with the proposed ${\beta}$-IMM-EKF for precise tracking of an RV.

The multiple targets tracking problem has been one of main issues in the radar applications area in the last decade. Besides the standard Kalman filtering, various methods including the variable dimension filter, input estimation filter, interacting multiple model (IMM) filter, federated variable dimension filter with input estimation, probable data association (PDA) filter etc. have been proposed to address the tracking and sensor fusion issues. In this paper, two existing tracking algorithms, i.e. the IMMPDA filter and the variable dimension filter with input estimation (VDIE), are combined for the purpose of improving the tracking performance of maneuvering targets in clutter. 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 IMMPDA filter considered as well as the standard IMM filter. The smaller RMS tracking errors, in position and velocity, of the modified IMMPDA filter than the standard IMM filter are demonstrated through computer simulations.

In this paper, an autonomous navigation system for autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) operated in an automated container terminal is designed. The navigation system is based on the sensors detecting the range and bearing. The navigation algorithm used is an interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm to detect other AGVs and avoid other obstacles using informations obtained from multiple sensors. As models to detect other AGVs (or obstacles), two kinematic models are derived： Constant velocity model for linear motion and constant speed turn model for curvilinear motion. For constant speed turn model, an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is used because of drawbacks of the extended Kalman filter (EKF) in nonlinear system. The suggested algorithm reduces the root mean squares error for linear motions, while it can rapidly detect possible turning motions.

It is important for advanced active safety systems and autonomous driving cars to get the accurate estimates of the nearby vehicles in order to increase their safety and performance. This paper proposes a sensor fusion method for radar and vision sensors to accurately estimate the state of the preceding vehicles. In particular, we performed a study on compensating for the lateral state error on automotive radar sensors by using a vision sensor. The proposed method is based on the Interactive Multiple Model(IMM) algorithm, which stochastically integrates the multiple Kalman Filters with the multiple models depending on lateral-compensation mode and radar-single sensor mode. In addition, a Probabilistic Data Association Filter(PDAF) is utilized as a data association method to improve the reliability of the estimates under a cluttered radar environment. A two-step correction method is used in the Kalman filter, which efficiently associates both the radar and vision measurements into single state estimates. Finally, the proposed method is validated through off-line simulations using measurements obtained from a field test in an actual road environment.
