Mobile satellite terminals especially with high-gain antenna require fast and accurate beam tracking algorithms for communication. The main topic of this paper is the extension of a tracking algorithm to mobile satellite communications, its implementation and performance. The presented considerations and simulation results concern low SNR condition and narrow antenna beam configuration as existing in satellite communications. The assumed satellite is geostationary. The work is presented in context of SANTANA-2 project, (Smart Antenna Terminal), founded and supported by the German DLR on behalf of BMBF. The realized terminal uses an antenna array in Ka-band and fully implements Digital BeamForming (DBF) to control the beam pointing direction and the antenna beam shape.

Separating a reentry vehicle into warhead, main body, and debris is a conventional and efficient means of producing a huge decoy and increasing the kinetic energy of the warhead. This procedure Causes the radar to track the main body and debris, which radar cross section are large. and ignore the warhead, is the most important part of the reentry vehicle. The warhead is difficult to identify after separation using standard tracking criteria. This study presents a novel tracking algorithm by integrating input estimation and modified probabilistic data association filter to identity warhead among objects separation from the reentry vehicle in a clear environment. The proposed algorithm provides a good tracking capability tor the warhead ignoring the radar cross sec(ion. Simulation results reveal that the errors between the Updated and warhead trajectorics are reduced to a small interval in a short time. Therefore, the radar can generate it beam to illuminate the right area and keep tracking the warhead all the time. This algorithm is Worthy of further Study and application.

tracking algorithms for IRST and radar are implemented and their performance is checked with simulated data. Detailed mathematical expressions given Could be useful for implementation. Performance evaluation metrics have been presented to check the tracking algorithm performance. Two fusion schemes have been presented and their performances evaluated with simulated data. It is concluded that both fusion schemes performed alike with the second fusion scheme giving slightly better results. From the results, it is also concluded that fusion of IRST and radar would improve the tracking performance and reduce the positional uncertainty compared to individual trackers.

Omnidirectional vision (Omni-vision) has the feature that an extremely wide view can be achieved simultaneously. The omni-image brings a highly unavoidable inherent distortion while it provides hemispherical field of views. In this paper, a method called Spherical Perspective Projection is used for correction of such distorted image. Omni-vision target recognition and tracking with fisheye lens for AGVs appears definite significant since its advantage of acquiring all vision information of the three-dimensional space once. A novel Beacon Model and Omni-vision tracker for mobile robots is described. At present, the research of target model has many different problems, such as outdoor illumination, target veiling, target losing. Specially, outdoor illumination and beacon veiling are the key problems which need an effective method to solve. The new beacon model which features particular topology shape can be recognized in the outdoors with part veiled of the object. In this paper an improved omni-vision object tracking method based on mean shift algorithm is proposed. The mean shift algorithm which is a powerful technique for tracking objects in image sequences with complex background has been proved to be successful for the fast computation and effective tracking problems. The recognition and tracking functions have been demonstrated on experimental platform.

This paper introduces a real-time TV tracking system which is based on DSP(DM642). It narrates the principle of hardware design and the structure of the hardware in detail. A fast median filter algorithm, which is the most novelty in the system, is used to achieve the image pre-processed. And the algorithm of centroid calculated and Gaussian-fitting predicting approach are used to track the target. The experiment proves that this system can obtain continuous and stable tracking effect when the target is moving and covered up.

Object tracking is viewed as a two-class "one-versus-rest" classification problem, in which the sample distribution of the target is approximately Gaussian while the background samples are often multi-modal. Based on these special properties, we model the visual appearance via graph approach, which is a semi-supervised approach. The topology structure of graph is carefully designed to reflect the properties of the sample's distribution. The confidence of sample's label is computed via random walk with restart (RWR). The primary advantage of our algorithm is that it keeps the appearance of object via semi-supervised method. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared with two state of the art methods, the proposed tracking algorithm is more effective, especially in dynamically changing and clutter scenes.

In this paper a decision-directed Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channel tracking algorithm is enhanced to raise the channel estimate accuracy. While DDCE is prone to error propagation the enhancement employs channel decoding in the tracking process. Therefore, a quantized block of symbols is checked on consistency via the channel decoder, possibly corrected and then used. This yields a more robust tracking of the channel in terms of bit error rate and improves the channel estimate under certain conditions. Equalization is performed to prove the feasibility of the obtained channel estimate. Therefore a combined signal consisting of data and pilot symbols is sent. Adaptive filters are applied to exploit correlations in time, frequency and spatial domain. By using good error-correcting coding schemes like Turbo Codes or Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, adequate channel estimates can be acquired even at low signal to noise ratios (SNR). The proposed algorithm among two others is applied for channel estimation and equalization and results are compared.

In this paper, a low cost phased array antenna system with nearly 1K microstrip antenna patches for mobile broadcast satellite reception in Ku-band will be introduced. The height of the antenna is only 6 cm and the system has two-dimensional electronic scanning capability. The main objective of this design is to develop phased array system with very low cost components and a minimum number of tracking sensors. A novel beamforming algorithm compensates for the fabrication inaccuracies of the microwave components and variations in their characteristics due to ambient changes.

The present manuscript focuses on the algorithmic treatment of three-dimensional discontinuities within a purely displacement based finite element setting. In contrast to two-dimensional cracks, the local element based geometric representation of three-dimensional crack surfaces is non-unique and thus not straightforward. Accordingly, we compare different crack tracking strategies, one being algorithmically extremely efficient but yet somehow restrictive, the other one being more complex but rather general in nature. While the first method is able to represent entirely smooth discontinuity surfaces, the second approach introduces inter-element discontinuities in the overall crack surface representation. Both methods are compared systematically and additional comments about the algorithmic realization are provided. From the numerical results we conclude that neither of the two algorithms is able to solve all defined quality criteria satisfactorily, although both are mesh independent, computationally cheap and rather efficient. The ultimate solution might be an overall global crack surface representation that a priori circumvents a number of algorithmic deficiencies and at the same time provides a unique and smooth three-dimensional crack surface representation.
