Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random finite sets provide a rigorous foundation for optimal Bayes multi-target filtering. The major hurdle faced in Bayes multi-target filtering is the inherent computational intractability of the method. Even the Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filter, which propagates only the first moment (or PHD) instead of the full multi-target posterior, still involves multiple integrals with no closed forms. In this paper, the authors highlight the relationship between the Radon-Nikodym derivative and set derivative of random finite sets that enable a Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) implementation of the optimal multi-target filter. In addition, a generalized SMC method to implement the PHD filter also is presented. the SMC PHD filter has an attractive feature -- its computational complexity is independent of the (time-varying) number of targets.

This book was released on 2011-05-19 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph written by John Mullane, Ba-Ngu Vo, Martin Adams and Ba-Tuong Vo is devoted to the field of autonomous robot systems, which have been receiving a great deal of attention by the research community in the latest few years. The contents are focused on the problem of representing the environment and its uncertainty in terms of feature based maps. Random Finite Sets are adopted as the fundamental tool to represent a map, and a general framework is proposed for feature management, data association and state estimation. The approaches are tested in a number of experiments on both ground based and marine based facilities.
Download or read book Target Tracking with Random Finite Sets written by Weihua Wu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on target tracking and information fusion with random finite sets. Both principles and implementations have been addressed, with more weight placed on engineering implementations. This is achieved by providing in-depth study on a number of major topics such as the probability hypothesis density (PHD), cardinalized PHD, multi-Bernoulli (MB), labeled MB (LMB), d-generalized LMB (d-GLMB), marginalized d-GLMB, together with their Gaussian mixture and sequential Monte Carlo implementations. Five extended applications are covered, which are maneuvering target tracking, target tracking for Doppler radars, track-before-detect for dim targets, target tracking with non-standard measurements, and target tracking with multiple distributed sensors. The comprehensive and systematic summarization in target tracking with RFSs is one of the major features of the book, which is particularly suited for readers who are interested to learn solutions in target tracking with RFSs. The book benefits researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of random finite sets, target tracking, sensor fusion/data fusion/information fusion, etc.
Download or read book Random Finite Sets for Multitarget Tracking with Applications written by Trevor M. Wood and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multitarget tracking is the process of jointly determining the number of tar- gets present and their states from noisy sets of measurements. The difficulty of the multitarget tracking problem is that the number of targets present can change as targets appear and disappear while the sets of measurements may contain false alarms and measurements of true targets may be missed. The theory of random finite sets was proposed as a systematic, Bayesian approach to solving the multitarget tracking problem. The conceptual solution is given by Bayes filtering fer the probability distribution of the set of target states, conditioned on the sets of measurements received, known as the multitar- get Bayes filter. A first-moment approximation to this filter, the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter, provides a more computationally practical, but theoretically sound, solution. The central thesis of this work is that the random finite set frame- work is theoretically sound, compatible with the Bayesian methodology and amenable to immediate implementation in a wide range of contexts. In ad- vancing this thesis, new links between the PHD filter and existing Bayesian approaches for manoeuvre handling and incorporation of target amplitude information are presented. A new multi target metric which permits incor- poration of target confidence information is derived and new algorithms are developed which facilitate sequential Monte Carlo implementations of the PHD filter. Several applications of the PHD filter are presented, with a focus on applica.tions for tracking in sonar data. Good results are presented for im- plementations on real active and passive sonar data. The PHD filter is also deployed in order to extract bacterial trajectories from microscopic visual data in order to aid ongoing work in understanding bacterial chemotaxis. A performance comparison between the PHD filter and conventional mul- titarget tracking methods using simulated data is also presented, showing favourable results for the PHD filter.

This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses state estimation of stochastic dynamic systems from noisy measurements, specifically sequential Bayesian estimation and nonlinear or stochastic filtering. The class of solutions presented in this book is based on the Monte Carlo statistical method. Although the resulting algorithms, known as particle filters, have been around for more than a decade, the recent theoretical developments of sequential Bayesian estimation in the framework of random set theory have provided new opportunities which are not widely known and are covered in this book. This book is ideal for graduate students, researchers, scientists and engineers interested in Bayesian estimation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adaptive configuration of nodes in a sensor network has the potential to improve sequential estimation performance by intelligently allocating limited sensor network resources. In addition, the use of heterogeneous sensing nodes provides a diversity of information that also enhances estimation performance. This work reviews cognitive systems and presents a cognitive fusion framework for sequential state estimation using adaptive configuration of heterogeneous sensing nodes and heterogeneous data fusion. This work also provides an application of cognitive fusion to the sequential estimation problem of target tracking using foveal and radar sensors.

Download or read book Theoretical Aspects of Spatial Temporal Modeling written by Gareth William Peters and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-24 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a modern introductory tutorial on specialized theoretical aspects of spatial and temporal modeling. The areas covered involve a range of topics which reflect the diversity of this domain of research across a number of quantitative disciplines. For instance, the first chapter provides up-to-date coverage of particle association measures that underpin the theoretical properties of recently developed random set methods in space and time otherwise known as the class of probability hypothesis density framework (PHD filters). The second chapter gives an overview of recent advances in Monte Carlo methods for Bayesian filtering in high-dimensional spaces. In particular, the chapter explains how one may extend classical sequential Monte Carlo methods for filtering and static inference problems to high dimensions and big-data applications. The third chapter presents an overview of generalized families of processes that extend the class of Gaussian process models to heavy-tailed families known as alpha-stable processes. In particular, it covers aspects of characterization via the spectral measure of heavy-tailed distributions and then provides an overview of their applications in wireless communications channel modeling. The final chapter concludes with an overview of analysis for probabilistic spatial percolation methods that are relevant in the modeling of graphical networks and connectivity applications in sensor networks, which also incorporate stochastic geometry features.
