A new method for representing linguistic quantifications by random sets with applications to tracking and data fusion Tập 2 - Trang 1308-1315 vol.2
W.C. Torrez, D. Bamber, I.R. Goodman, H.T. Nguyen
There is an obvious need to be able to integrate both linguistic-based and
stochastic-based input information in data fusion. In particular, this need is
critical in addressing problems of track association, including cyber-state
intrusions. This paper treats this issue through a new insight into how three
apparently distinct mathematical tools can be combined: "boolean relational
event algebra" (... hiện toàn bộ

Particle filtering for multi-target tracking and sensor management Tập 1 - Trang 474-481 vol.1
A. Doucet, B.-N. Vo, C. Andrieu, M. Davy
In this paper, we present computational methods based on particle filters to
address the multi-target tracking and sensor management problems. We present a
jump Markov model of multi-target systems and an efficient particle filtering
algorithm to perform inference. In addition, we also present a formulation of
the sensor management problem and its solution using particle methods.

Noise estimation for star tracker calibration and enhanced precision attitude determination Tập 1 - Trang 235-242 vol.1
Quang Lam, C. Woodruff, S. Ashton, D. Martin
This paper presents the design, development, and validation of a nonlinear least
square estimation scheme applied to star tracker noise extraction and
identification. The paper is the by-product of a Post-Launch Test (PLT) tool
development effort conducted by two independent teams, Swales/NASA and Boeing.
The main objective is to have a set of tools ready to provide on-orbit support

Adapting a commercial simulation framework to the needs of information fusion research Tập 1 - Trang 220-227 vol.1
P. Horling, V. Mojtahed, P. Svensson, B. Spearing
The paper develops and argues usage requirements emanating from information
fusion research on simulation frameworks. Based on these requirements, a
next-generation simulation framework is currently being designed by one
framework vendor.

Monte Carlo-based filter for target tracking with feature measurement Tập 2 - Trang 1499-1505 vol.2
D. Angelova, B. Vassileva, Tz. Semerdjiev
Monte Carlo-based algorithm for tracking maneuvering target with a feature
measurement is proposed in the paper Amplitude Information (AI) is used as a
feature for state estimation of relatively low observable target (low
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)) in the presence of high rate of false alarms.
Rayleigh distributed noise amplitude and Swerling 3 type target model are
assumed. The stochastic filte... hiện toàn bộ

Robust tracking with cooperative parallel controllers Tập 1 - Trang 251-258 vol.1
A. Berman, J. Dayan
This paper deals with robust tracking of time varying signals when there are
abrupt, sudden random changes in the system parameters, the sensor gains or the
transducers. Robustness of the filter is achieved by introducing a parallel
cooperative controller and utilizing a new nonlinear gain-tuning algorithm for
the adjusting jump parameters. By the aid of this algorithm, the filter remains
stable e... hiện toàn bộ

New assignment-based data association for tracking move-stop-move targets Tập 2 - Trang 943-950 vol.2
L. Lin, T. Kirubarajan, Y. Bar-Shalom
In this paper we present a new assignment-based algorithm for data association
in tracking ground targets employing evasive move-stop-move maneuvers using
moving target indicator (MTI) reports obtained from an airborne sensor. To avoid
detection by the MTI sensor, the targets deliberately stop for some time before
moving again. The sensor does not detect a target when the latter's radial
velocity ... hiện toàn bộ

Fusing binary and continuous output of multiple classifiers Tập 1 - Trang 380-387 vol.1
K.F. Goebel, Weizhong Yan
This paper describes a fusion architecture and implementation for classifiers
with binary as well: as continuous output. The fusion scheme is represented as a
multi-layered architecture which structures the approach into pre-processing,
analysis, and post-processing. All components are partitioned into layers where
each layer performs logical tasks. In particular, the pre-processing component
is p... hiện toàn bộ

Bipolar logic and bipolar knowledge fusion Tập 2 - Trang 1428-1433 vol.2
Wen-Ran Zhang
It is observed that Boolean logic is a unipolar logic defined in the unipolar
space {0,1}. It is argued that a unipolar system cannot be directly used to
represent and reason with the coexistence of bipolar truth. To circumvent the
representational and reasoning limitations of unipolar systems, a 4-valued
bipolar combinational logic BCL is introduced based on the ancient Chinese
