This paper presents a novel method for Bayesian bearing-only tracking. Unlike the classical approaches, which involve using Gaussian distribution, the tracking procedure is completely covered with the von Mises distribution, including state representation, transitional probability, and measurement model, since it captures and models well the peculiarities of directional data. The state is represented with a mixture of von Mises distributions, thus offering advantages of being able to model multimodal distributions, handle nonlinear state transition and measurement models, and to completely cover the whole state space, all with a modest number of parameters. The tracking procedure is solved by convolution with a von Mises distribution (prediction step) and multiplication with a mixture representing the measurement model (update step). Since in the update step the number of mixture components grows exponentially, a method is presented for component reduction of a von Mises mixture. Furthermore, a closed-form solution is derived for quadratic Rényi entropy of the von Mises mixture. The algorithm is tested and compared to a particle filter representation in a speaker tracking scenario on a synthetic data set and real-world recordings. The results supported the proposed approach and showed similar performance to the particle filter.

Two-axis pan and tilt systems are widely used in surveillance applications for high accuracy positioning of sensor payloads such as cameras and laser pointers. In order to develop advanced control algorithms to improve the performance of these systems, a model of the system must be developed. This model should include the dynamics of the system to include effects such as compliance and account for friction effects in the drive. This paper discusses the development of the overall model of the system using National Instruments LabVIEW, and in particular, the models for friction and the drive train that will be used.

The dynamic nature of a system gives rise to dynamical features of epidemic spreading, such as oscillation and bistability. In this paper, by studying the epidemic spreading in growing networks, in which susceptible nodes may adaptively break the connections with infected ones yet avoid being isolated, we reveal a phenomenon, epidemic reemergence, where the number of infected nodes is incubated at a low level for a long time and then erupts for a short time. The process may repeat several times before the infection finally vanishes. Simulation results show that all three factors, namely the network growth, the connection breaking, and the isolation avoidance, are necessary for epidemic reemergence to happen. We present a simple theoretical analysis to explain the process of reemergence in detail. Our study may offer some useful insights, helping explain the phenomenon of repeated epidemic explosions.

The inverse mapping in MagnetoEncephaloGraphy involves localizing neuronal activity of the gray matter tissue from measured signals around the head. The search space of the inverse mapping is conventionally represented in 3-D Cartesian coordinates including the cortical volume, or alternatively, 2-D manifold describing the cortical tissue. 3-D Cartesian coordinates does not suit sparse regularization of the inverse mapping in multi-resolution source domains. On the other hand, boundary surface of the cortex, represented as triangulated mesh, is used as the search space in some other inverse mapping techniques. However, this surface does not represent depth of the cortex. Moreover, to represent neuronal activity in embedded signal dictionaries, convoluted manifold should be gridded. In this paper we propose to use medial surface as the best surface descriptor of the cortical tissue. Furthermore, manifold gridding is constructed by defining bijective mapping between a flattened parameterized domain and convoluted surface. Signal bases are defined conventionally in the parameterized domain and mapped to the cortical volume by means of the bijective mapping. Medial surface of the cortex tissue, represented as triangulated mesh, is extracted by gradient-based search algorithm. Source localization, for simulated neuronal activity, is performed in real head model extracted from magnetic resonance images. Sparse estimated source of the inverse mapping are compared on volume, boundary surface, and medial surface domains. Simulation results confirm advantages of surface over volume domain. Performnace measures of source localization proves the medial surface as the best surface describing the cortex volume.
