We explore a new paradigm for the analysis of event-related functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) of brain activity. We regard the fMRI data as a very large set of time series xi(t), indexed by the position i of...

Recently, microwave imaging aiming at early-stage-tumor detection has become of major interest because of its relatively high contrast resolution in the image. Chirp pulse microwave computed tomography (CP-MCT) obtains the attenuation and/or phase shift images of biological targets by use of a chirp pulse signal from 1 GHz to 2 GHz and signalprocessing techniques. the experimental- and computational-studies show that the estimated spatial resolution becomes 10 to 12 mm and very small temperature variation such as 0.3 degree to 0.5 degree is detectable. Usefulness of this imaging modality increases by developing a fan beam scanner that enables fast data acquisition. In fact, it takes only a few minutes for imaging, while the prototype system takes about 90 minutes.

Infrared sensors and advanced signalprocessing are used to detect small (or "point") targets in highly cluttered and noisy environments. In this paper, a wavelet detection algorithm and tracking of smalltargets in clutter will be discussed. A new registration algorithm based on optical flow estimates with matched subspace detectors against small maneuverable targets is also discussed. Both detectors incorporate adaptive constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection statistics. Simulation of the detection and tracking algorithms using an unclassified database with a helicopter target and platform for the video cameras is summarized.

the methods used in the classification of multiple smalltargets can be very different from the methods commonly used in traditional pattern recognition. First, there may be characteristics of the features for. each target class that can permit simpler computations than other features. In addition, in classifying targets, the target tracks are updated as new data becomes available and hence there can be a sequence of feature measurements that are available for the target classification process. In addition, with multiple targets, the a priori information may be in a form that make the classification processing for one target dependent on the classification processing of other targets. these aspects of target classification that make that processing different from traditional pattern recognition are the concern of this paper. To limit the length of the paper, the scope is restricted to classification tasks that allow the linear-Gaussian assumption to be used. Also, the data used in the classification process is restricted to features, i.e., no attributes, and the assumption is the tracker does not employ feature-aided tracking. While these assumptions simplify the discussion, the methods used could be modified to permit classification of a broad scope of classification tasks.

the problem of maintaining track on a primary target in the presence spurious objects is addressed. Recursive and batch filtering approaches are developed. For the recursive approach, a Bayesian track splitting filter is derived which spawns candidate tracks if there is a possibility of measurement misassociation. the filter evaluates the probability of each candidate track being associated withthe primary target. the batch filter is a Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm which fits the observed data sequence to models of target dynamics and measurement-track association. Simulation results are presented.

this paper presents the results of a study of tracking algorithms for maneuvering targets. the design focuses on alternative algorithms to track two-dimensional targets during maneuvers. the algorithms explored include a standard Kalman algorithm, an extended Kalman algorithm in which the target turn rate is an additional state variable, an interactive multiple model (IMM) algorithm consisting of two models with varying plant noise, a three-model IMM specifying three distinct target turn rates, and a constant gain alpha-beta filter. the IMM trackers tended to work the best in this study, withthe three-model IMM performing the best overall.

Preliminary tracking system design and analysis is typically done using simulated data in which the target truth is known and many techniques have been developed for evaluating performance under these conditions. However, there is a notable lack of any consistent approach for evaluating tracker performance for "real" data in which there may be an unknown number of "targets of opportunity" whose trajectories are not known. In addition, the background clutter/false alarm environment may be unknown so that an important analysis task is to determine the most accurate background models. this paper proposes a set of criteria for evaluating the tracks that are formed using "real" data collected in the field in the presence of an unknown number of "targets of opportunity". these criteria include duration, update history, and measures of kinematic and data association consistency. A scoring method is developed and the use of these criteria for system design is discussed.

Target selection is the task of assigning a value or priority to various targets in a scenario. this priority is usually determined by the threat the target poses on the defender in addition to its vulnerability to possible measures to be taken by the defender. In this study, we describe a target selection technique based on neural networks. the utility or value of each target is assumed to be an unknown function acting on certain features of the target such as size, intensity, speed and direction of movement. Neural networks used in the context of function estimation is a viable candidate for determining this unknown function for generating target priorities. Various. neural network configurations are examined and simulation results are presented.
