The maximum a posteriori penalty function (MAP-PF) approach is applied to three-dimensional (3D) target position tracking of multiple wideband sources using multiple distributed sensorarrays. The track estimation problem is formulated directly from the array data using the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation criterion. The penalty function (PF) method of nonlinear programming is used to obtain a tractable solution. A sequential update procedure is developed in which penalized maximum likelihood estimates of target directions-of-arrival (DOAs) and spectra are computed at each array and then used as synthetic measurements in a set of extended Kalman filters. The two steps are coupled via the penalty function. The current target states are used to guide the DOA/spectrum estimation, and the estimated signal spectra control the influence of the DOA estimates from each array on the final track estimates. The algorithm can be implemented in a decentralized manner where DOA/spectrum estimation is performed at the arrays, and track estimation is performed at a central processing site.

In this paper, we devise a sparse array design algorithm for adaptive beamforming. Our strategy is based on finding a sparse beamformer weight to maximize the output signal-tointerference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). The proposed method uses the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), and admits closed-form solutions at each ADMM iteration. Numerical results exhibit excellent performance of the proposed method, which is comparable to that of the exhaustive search approach.

Since the number of independent array data snapshots is limited by the availability of real-world data, we propose a parametric bootstrap for resampling. The proposed parametric bootstrap is based on a generative adversarial network (GAN) following the generative approach to machine learning. For the GAN model we chose the Wasserstein GAN with penalized norm of gradient of the critic with respect to its input (wGAN_gp). The approach is demonstrated with synthetic and real-world ocean acoustic array data.

A large size phased array is a powerful system for surveillance, but must be appropriately decomposed as subarrays for efficient digital beamforming. One fundamental question is how to configure a large array as subarrays to satisfy various signalprocessing requirements. This work deals with two basic signalprocessing tasks, synthesizing multiple beams at subarray level and adaptively suppressing multiple interferences. Two optimization criteria to jointly design subarray configuration and digital weights for subarrays are proposed. To handle the large number of variables in the optimization formulations, we propose an alternating minimization approach with low computation cost. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The sensor-Angle Distribution (SAD) is a recently introduced tool representing the power arriving at each sensor as a function of angle (or spatial frequency). It can be used to characterize near-field scatter environments. The SAD, as originally introduced, undersampled the spatial correlation of the received signal (measured at each sensor) causing the SAD to be aliased for common source location cases. In this paper we indicate how this may be overcome. Additional results are provided showing that the SAD may be implemented as a multiple weighted subarray beamformer.

Multisensorarrayprocessing of noisy measurements has received considerable attention in many areas of signalprocessing. Thr,optimal processing techniques developed so far usually assume the signal and noise processes are at least wide-sense-stationary, yet a need exists for efficient, effective methods for processing nonstationary signals. While wavelets have proven to be useful tools in dealing with certain nonstationary signals, the way in which wavelets are to be used in the multisensor setting has only recently been considered. In this work we show how multisensor denoising can be carried out in perturbed, narrowband arrays even in the absence of the signal source's direction of arrival. We show that our proposed blind estimator can be implemented efficiently and robustly employing only wavelet and discrete Fourier transforms while entailing only a small loss in performance.

This paper describes a method for detecting and tracking multiple moving targets using a multistatic narrowband radar sensorarray. We show that the appropriate model for the sensorarray measurements is non-linear and the statistics are non-Gaussian. We use this model in conjunction with a Bayesian estimation algorithm which constructs a probability density on the number of targets and their states. The density is approximated using a novel hybrid discrete grid/particle filter. We evaluate the performance on a set of experimental data from a 6-channel array to detect and track two targets that cross, make sharp turns, and move nearly cross-radially to some pairs for a significant portion of the collect.

We address the problem of distributed filtering in a wireless sensor network and develop distributed approximations of three variants of the ensemble Kalman filter. We express the update equations in an alternative information form in order to formulate a distributed measurement update mechanism. The distributed filters use randomized gossip to reach consensus on the statistics needed to perform an update. Simulation results suggest that in the case of linear measurements and high-dimensional nonlinear measurements (with measurement model parameters known network-wide) with nonlinear state dynamics the proposed schemes achieve accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art distributed filters while significantly reducing the communication overhead.

We have investigated the utility of field-of-view adaptation for multimodal sensing in cluttered multi-target environments. Measurement data from multiple integrated sensors are collected at a fusion center, which employs a soft association procedure to integrate them into the estimation procedure. A variance penalty model for the limited fields-of-view property is incorporated into the state estimation procedure. This model also forms the basis of an optimization problem that determines the best next-step sensing parameters for the changing target environment. Numerical simulations demonstrate the benefit of the proposed method for both tracking and association metrics compared to a non-adaptive tracker.

In this paper, the performance of a subspace beamformer, namely the multiple signal classification algorithm (MUSIC), is scrutinized in the presence of sensor position errors. Based on a perturbation model, a relationship between the array autocorrelation matrix and the source autocorrelation matrix is established. It is shown that under certain assumptions on the source signals, the Gaussian sensor perturbation errors can be modelled as additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) for an array where sensor positions are known perfectly. This correspondence can be used to equate position errors to an equivalent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for AWGN in performance evaluation. Finally, Cramer-Rao bound for the position perturbations that can be computed using the Cramer-Rao bound relations for the additive Gaussian noise case at high SNR's.
