This paper derives a likelihood-ratio detector for bivariate time-series data having target- and correlated non-target-bearing components with randomly distributed, single-cell spike noise in one or both channels. After defining the detection problem explicitly, the detector is constructed as an analytic expression. A specific implementation of the approach is presented using a bivariate first-order autoregressive model for the correlation structure of the data. A computer model for the detector is constructed, and results using simulated data verify the usefulness of the approach in removing strong pike noise without damage to the target signal.

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 with the 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.

data association is the crucial part of any multitarget tracking algorithm in a scenario with multiple closely spaced targets, low probability of detection and high false alarm rate. Multiframe assignment, which solves the data association problem as a constrained optimization, is one of the widely accepted methods to handle the measurement origin uncertainty. If the targets do not maneuver, then multiframe assignment with one or two frames will be enough to find the correct data association. However, more frames must be considered in the data association for maneuvering targets. Also, a target maneuver might be hard to detect when maneuvering index, which is the function of sampling time, is small. In this paper, we propose an improved multiframe data association with better cost calculation using backward multiple model recursion, which increases the maneuvering index. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated with simulated data.

A new exact recursive filter is derived for nonlinear estimation problems. The new nonlinear theory includes the Kalman filter as a special case. This filter is practical to implement in real- time applications, and it has a computational complexity that is comparable to the Kalman filter. The measurements are made in discrete time, but the random process to be estimated evolves in continuous time.

In this work we study the problem of detecting and tracking challenging targets that exhibit low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). We have developed a particle filter-based track-before-detect (TBD) algorithm for tracking such dim targets. The approach incorporates the most recent state estimates to control the particle flow accounting for target dynamics. The flow control enables accumulation of signal information over time to compensate for target motion. The performance of this approach is evaluated using a sensitivity analysis based on varying target speed and SNR values. This analysis was conducted using high-fidelity sensor and target modeling in realistic scenarios. Our results show that the proposed TBD algorithm is capable of tracking targets in cluttered images with SNR values much less than one.

The choice of gate size depends on the type of data association algorithm used and the optimization criteria. A prior well known analysis has presented a practical gate size for tracking approaches that sequentially select the most probable hypothesis. This paper revisits that analysis and presents an alternate approach. The intent of the gate sizing in this paper is to design the largest gate that eliminates any observation from the gate whose hypothesis probability is less than the null hypothesis probability. A study of the two approaches to sizing a gate reveals a dilemma and inconsistencies that under further scrutiny are resolved for reasonable conditions by decomposing the null hypothesis into two hypotheses.

In this paper, an approach to the automatic detection of vehicles at long range using sequences of thermal infrared images is presented. The vehicles in the sequences can be either moving or stationary. The sensor can also be mounted on a moving platform. The target area in the images is very small, typically less than 10 pixels on target. The proposed method consists of two independent parts. The first part seeks for possible targets in individual images and then merges the results for a subsequence of images. The second part of the algorithm specifically focuses on finding moving objects in the scene.

In this study, data obtained from near-range radar responses collected by an X-band noise radar targeting small aerial objects such as drones and seagulls have been analyzed for the purpose of target discrimination. The research aims to identify distinctive features in terms of range, speed, and micro-Doppler signatures of small air targets using a noise radar operating at the same frequency as maritime ship radars. This approach has not only facilitated the detection of small air targets with low Radar Cross Section (RCS) but also contributed additional information for classifying these targets. Considering that the noise radar used during the measurements possesses characteristics typical of a marine radar, this work has effectively demonstrated the extraction of micro-Doppler signatures of drones and seagulls performing various maneuvers in a maritime environment.

The Histogram Probabilistic Multi-Hypothesis Tracker (H-PMHT) is a parametric track-before-detect algorithm that has been shown to give good performance at a relatively low computation cost. Recent research has extended the algorithm to allow it to estimate the signature of targets in the sensor image. This paper shows how this approach can be adapted to address the problem of group target tracking where the motion of several targets is correlated. The group structure is treated as the target signature, resulting in a two-tiered estimator for the group bulk-state and group element relative position.

A multifocal matrix method for super Rayleigh resolution imaging and determining geometric and dynamic parameters of objects is developed and studied. The key element of the method is a multifocal matrix consists of focusing elements. The coherent light scattered by an object is focused by these elements and focused fields are detected at elements focused. The results of detection are used for determining the angular coordinates, amplitudes and phases of light fields scattered by different parts of the object surface. If the object under investigation consists of closely spaced smalltargets that cannot be resolved using the Rayleigh criterion, the method provides a useful tool for determining the angular coordinates, velocity, scattering coefficient and the distance of each target. The effect of the additive noise of focusing detector elements on the angular resolution of the method is analysed. The method provides two ways of obtaining information about smalltargets. The first allows the building of their two-dimensional images, the other is for determining their overall dimensions, rotational speeds, parameters of surface roughness.
