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.

In previous work Kwon and Yoo [5] have shown that the FIR tracking algorithm using the input estimation technique. However, it has not solved the problem of systems with parameter uncertainties. Therefore, in this paper we propose a new robust $H_{\infty}$ FIR tracking filter to solve the target tracking problems under systems with parameter uncertainties. Also, we use here the input estimation approach to account for the possibility of maneuver. Simulation results show that the robust $H_{\infty}$ FIR tracking filter proposed here still has good tracking performance for a maneuvering target tracking problem even under all system parameter uncertainties.

본 논문에서는 화면상 약속된 동작을 찾고 추적하는 알고리즘을 이용한 사용자 인터페이스를 제안한다. 현재 frame과 복수의 이전 frame간의 차영상을 이용하여 움직임 영역을 검출하고 약속된 제스처를 취하는 영역을 제어대상으로 인식한다. 이를 통하여 사용자가 장갑을 사용한다던지, 인종, 피부색등에 구애받지 않고 손동작 영역을 검출해 낼 수 있다. 또한 기존 색체 분포 추적 알고리즘을 개량하여 유사한 배경을 가로지르는 경우의 무게중심 위치의 정확성을 높였다. 그 결과 기존 피부색 인식 방법에 비해 약속된 손동작 인식률의 향상이 있었으며 기존 색체 추적 알고리즘에 비교하여 추적 인식률 향상을 확인할 수 있었다.

대공표적을 탐지/추적하기 위해 운용되는 레이다는 임무 특성에 따라 표적의 탐지를 목적으로 안테나 구동장치가 회전하며 운용되는 탐색레이다와 표적의 예측 위치에 주기적으로 빔을 조향하여 추적하는 추적레이다로 구분한다. 일반적으로 추적레이다는 탐색레이다에 비해 표적 정보 획득 주기가 짧은 특징이 있는데 이러한 특징으로 인하여 추적 정확도는 탐색레이다에 비해 좋지만 짧은 획득 주기로 인한 추적 초기 속도 오차로 인해 표적 예측 오차가 커짐에 따라 항적 연관에 실패하거나 빔 조향을 정상적으로 수행하지 못하여 추적 초반에 표적 추적이 실패하는 경우가 많이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 위에서 기술한 추적레이다의 추적 초반 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 기존 표적 추적을 위해 활용했던 측정치의 위치 정보(거리, 방위각, 고각) 외에 표적 시선속도 측정값을 활용한 초기 표적 정보 정확도 향상 알고리즘을 제안하고 기존에 추적 초기화 시 많이 사용하는 알고리즘인 Two Point Differential 알고리즘과 성능 비교를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하였다.

The template matching method is used as a simple method to track objects or patterns that we want to search for in the input image data from image sensors. It recognizes a segment with the highest correlation as a target. The concept of this method is similar to that of SNF (Strongest Neighbor Filter) that regards the measurement with the highest signal intensity as target-originated among other measurements. The SNF assumes that the strongest neighbor (SN) measurement in the validation gate originates from the target of interest and the SNF utilizes the SN in the update step of a standard Kalman filter (SKF). The SNF is widely used along with the nearest neighbor filter (NNF), due to computational simplicity in spite of its inconsistency of handling the SN as if it is the true target. Probabilistic Strongest Neighbor Filter for m validated measurements (PSNF-m) accounts for the probability that the SN in the validation gate originates from the target while the SNF assumes at any time that the SN measurement is target-originated. It is known that the PSNF-m is superior to the SNF in performance at a cost of increased computational load. In this paper, we suggest an image tracking algorithm that combines the template matching and the PSNF-m to estimate the states of a tracked target. Computer simulation results are included to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm in comparison with other algorithms.

This paper describes the realization of a coordinates tracking algorithm for an EOTS (Electro-Optical Tracking System). The EOTS stabilizes the image sensors, tracks targets automatically, and provides navigation capability for vehicles. The coordinates tracking algorithm calculates the azimuth and the elevation angle of an EOTS using the inertial navigation system and the attitude sensors of the vehicle, so that LOS designates the target coordinates which are generated by a Radar. In the error analysis, the unexpected behaviors of an EOTS due to the time delay and deadbeat of the digital signals of the vehicle equipments are anticipated and the countermeasures are suggested. The application of this algorithm to an EOTS will improve the operational capability by reducing the time which is required to find the target and support flight especially in the night time flight and the poor weather condition.

In object tracking based on the particle filter algorithm controlling the proper distribution of the samples is essential to accurately track the target. If the samples are spread too wide compared to the target size, the tracking accuracy may degrade as some samples can be caught by background clutters that is similar to the target. On the other hands if the samples are spread too narrow, the particle filter may fail to track the abrupt motion of the target. To solve this problem we propose an improved particle filter that adopts "re-weighting" technique at the observe step. We estimate the distribution of the weights of the current samples by its mean and variance. Then the samples are re-weighted so that the appropriate distribution of the samples in proportional to the target scale is obtained at the next select step. The proposed tracking method can avoid convergence to local mean and improve the accuracy of the estimated target state.

Focusing on the issue that the conventional Kernel Correlation Filter (KCF) algorithm has poor performance in handling scale change and obscured objects, this paper proposes an anti-occlusion and scale adaptive tracking algorithm in the basis of KCF. The average Peak-to Correlation Energy and the peak value of correlation filtering response are used as the confidence indexes to determine whether the target is obscured. In the case of non-occlusion, we modify the searching scheme of the KCF. Instead of searching for a target with a fixed sample size, we search for the target area with multiple scales and then resize it into the sample size to compare with the learnt model. The scale factor with the maximum filter response is the best target scaling and is updated as the optimal scale for the following tracking. Once occlusion is detected, the model updating and scale updating are stopped. Experiments have been conducted on the OTB benchmark video sequences for compassion with other state-of-the-art tracking methods. The results demonstrate the proposed method can effectively improve the tracking success rate and the accuracy in the cases of scale change and occlusion, and meanwhile ensure a real-time performance.

This paper presents an extended particle filter to increase the accuracy and decrease the computation load of vehicle tracking. Particle filter has been the subject of extensive interest in video-based tracking which is capable of solving nonlinear and non-Gaussian problems. However, there still exist problems such as preventing unnecessary particle consumption, reducing the computational burden, and increasing the accuracy. We aim to increase the accuracy without an increase in computation load. In proposed method, we calculate the direction angle of the target vehicle. The angular difference between the direction of the target vehicle and each particle of the particle filter is observed. Particles are filtered and weighted, based on their angular difference. Particles with angular difference greater than a threshold is eliminated and the remaining are stored with greater weights in order to increase their probability for state estimation. Threshold value is very critical for performance. Thus, instead of having a constant threshold value, proposed algorithm updates it online. The first advantage of our algorithm is that it prevents the system from failures caused by insufficient amount of particles. Second advantage is to reduce the risk of using unnecessary number of particles in tracking which causes computation load. Proposed algorithm is compared against camshift, direction-based particle filter and condensation algorithms. Results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the other methods in terms of accuracy, tracking duration and particle consumption.

In this paper we propose an adaptive update rate tracking algorithm for a phased array radar, based on the interacting multiple model(IMM) algorithm. The purpose of the IMM algorithm hers is twofold: 1) to estimate and predict the target states, and 2) to estimate the level of the process noise. Using the estimate of the process noise level adapted to target dynamics, the update interval is determined to maintain a desired prediction accuracy so that the radar system load is minimized. The adaptive update rate tracking algorithm is implemented for a phased array radar and evaluated with Monte Carlo simulations on various trajectories. The evaluation results of the proposed algorithm and a standard Kalman filter without the adaptive update rate control are presented to compare.
