This paper presents an adaptive discriminative generativemodel that generalizes the conventional Fisher Linear Discriminant algorithm and renders a proper probabilistic interpretation. Within the context of object tracking, we aim to find a discriminative generative model that best separates the target from the background. We present a computationally efficient algorithm to constantly update this discriminativemodel as time progresses. While most trackingalgorithms operate on the premise that the object appearance or ambient lighting condition does not significantly change as time progresses, our method adapts a discriminative generative model to reflect appearance variation of the target and background, thereby facilitating the tracking task in ever-changing environments. Numerous experiments show that our method is able to learn a discriminative generative model for trackingtarget objects undergoing large pose and lighting changes.

The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is procuring Airborne Real-time Cueing Hyperspectral Enhanced Reconnaissance (ARCHER) systems to increase their search-and-rescue mission capability. These systems are being installed on a fleet of Gippsland GA-8 aircraft, and will position CAP to gain real-world mission experience with the application of hyperspectral sensor and processing technology to search and rescue. The ARCHER system design, data processing, and operational concept leverage several years of investment in hyperspectral technology research and airborne system demonstration programs by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Each ARCHER system consists of a NovaSol-designed, pushbroom, visible/near-infrared (VNIR) hyperspectral imaging (HSI) sensor, a co-boresighted visible panchromatic high-resolution imaging (HRI) sensor, and a CMIGITS-III GPS/INS unit in an integrated sensor assembly mounted inside the GA-8 cabin. ARCHER incorporates an on-board data processing system developed by Space Computer Corporation (SCC) to perform numerous real-time processing functions including data acquisition and recording, raw data correction, target detection, cueing and chipping, precision image geo-registration, and display and dissemination of image products and target cue information. A ground processing station is provided for post-flight data playback and analysis. This paper describes the requirements and architecture of the ARCHER system, including design, components, software, interfaces, and displays. Key sensor performance characteristics and real-time data processing features are discussed in detail. The use of the system for detecting and geo-locating ground targets in real-time is demonstrated using test data collected in Southern California in the fall of 2004.

Here we describe recent advances in particle filtering algorithms and models for tracking of manoeuvring objects in clutter. The methods develop on the basic variable dimension particle filtering algorithms introduced in S.J. Godsill and J. Vermaak (2004), in which a new type of dynamical model is introduced whose state variables arrive at unknown times relative to the observation process (hence 'variable rate'). targets are assumed to follow deterministic trajectories in between state times, determined by an appropriate model, such as the differential equation model for the object. The framework allows for automatic modelling and estimation of the trajectories of targets using an adaptation of particle filtering methods (A. Doucet et al., 2000) into the variable dimension setting. In this paper we introduce more effective sampling schemes for the variable rate setting that ensure future states are only generated as and when required, new dynamical models appropriate for manoeuvring objects, and new observation models under the assumption of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process for both targets and clutter. Simulations show very effective tracking performance under challenging settings which cannot be emulated in a standard fixed rate scheme

An invariant-based algorithm is presented for ground moving-targettracking and identification using ground moving-target indicator and high-resolution range measurements. The algorithm effectively exploits coupled information between target kinematics and identification spaces by introducing the concept of local and global motion. A geometrical invariant constraint based on the target rigidity principle is built into target kinematics and measurement models, which facilitate joint information exploitation. An interacting multiple template algorithm is developed to tightly work with a traditional tracker for joint tracking and identification. Besides providing target kinematics behaviour and identity information, the algorithm is capable of reconstructing the prominent physical structure of a moving target.

The basic principle filtering is developed in such a way that used in visual trackingapplications and also for multi-target case in the same manner. Some observations models and related dynamics used in different applications and express some difficulties of the extension of the methods to new applications are also discussed. In multi targettrackingalgorithms, it is often assumed that the targets are moving according to independent Markovian dynamics. In the designing of a vision-based targettracking system, one of the critical decision is the feature selection and there is not any general solution for this problem.

A simple method based on the multilayered perceptron neural network architecture for calculating the association probabilities used in targettracking is presented. The multilayered perceptron is trained with the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The tracks estimated by using the proposed method for multiple targets in cluttered and non-cluttered environments are in good agreement with the original tracks. Better accuracy is obtained than when using the joint probabilistic data association filter or the cheap joint probabilistic data association filter methods.

The inherent pathologies are being developed in bearings only tracking and the limits on the performance of trackingalgorithms. The target motions considered are modelled by a constant rate of turn model, that depends on a parameter relating to the angular rate of turn of the target. The main objective is to provide accurate estimates, for the shortest possible sequence of observations, of this angular turn rate parameter and the fractional rate of change of the range to the target. The formulation of the bearings only tracking problem is relevant in situations where information on t he range to the target is only intermittently available.

A particle filter approach is suggested for trackingtargets in the presence of spurious measurements that are exhibit an unknown bias relative to the true target location. The filter is demonstrated for the tracking in the presence of possible wake corruption - i.e. sensor measurements may be "captured" by a wake behind the target.
