Space-time Coordinated Distributed Sensing Algorithms for Resource Efficient Narrowband Target Localization and Tracking

Distributed Estimation for Coordinated Target Tracking in a Cluttered Environment

The purpose of this paper is to gain insight into several fundamental questions that arise whenever a distributed control system is endowed with communication capabilities. These fundamental questions include: what should each vehicle say?, how frequently should they talk?, and how much does communication really help? These questions are evaluated here with respect to a target tracking task in ...

Distributed Algorithms for Camera Network Localization and Multiple Target Tracking Using Mobile Robots

Camera networks are gaining popularity due to the information rich sensing modality of cameras. Some important problems arise while migrating from traditional sensor networks to networks that use cameras as their primary sensing modality. One such problem is that of localization. Localization is the process of finding the pose (position and orientation) of objects in a common frame of reference...

Mathematical Analysis of Optimal Tracking Interval Management for Power Efficient Target Tracking Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper, we study the problem of power efficient tracking interval management for distributed target tracking wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We first analyze the performance of a distributed target tracking network with one moving object, using a quantitative mathematical analysis. We show that previously proposed algorithms are efficient only for constant average velocity objects howev...

Estimation of LOS Rates for Target Tracking Problems using EKF and UKF Algorithms- a Comparative Study

One of the most important problem in target tracking is Line Of Sight (LOS) rate estimation for using from PN (proportional navigation) guidance law. This paper deals on estimation of position and LOS rates of target with respect to the pursuer from available noisy RF seeker and tracker measurements. Due to many important for exact estimation on tracking problems must target position and Line O...
