ROBUST MODIFICATION OF THE EM-ALGORITHM FOR PARAMETRIC MultiTRAJECTORY ESTIMATION IN NOISE AND CLUTTER
نویسندگان
چکیده
A robust family of algorithms generalizing the EM-algorithm for fitting parametric deterministic multi-trajectories observed in Gaussian noise and clutter is proposed. It is based on the M-estimation generalizing the Maximum Likelihood estimation in the M-step of the EM-algorithm. Simulation results of comparative performance of our and traditional EM-algorithm in noise and clutter are described.

Finding Curvilinear Features in Spatial Point Patterns: Principal Curve Clustering with Noise
ÐClustering about principal curves combines parametric modeling of noise with nonparametric modeling of feature shape. This is useful for detecting curvilinear features in spatial point patterns, with or without background noise. Applications include the detection of curvilinear minefields from reconnaissance images, some of the points in which represent false detections, and the detection of s...
متن کاملMultiresolution Statistical Object Recognition
Model based recognition systems are designed to recognize the occurrence and pose of a known object in an input image that could contain zero or more occurrences of the object. A multiresolution statistical estimation approach to object recognition and pose estimation has been developed which incorporates models for the effects of background clutter, occlusion, and sensor noise. The resulting f...
متن کاملAdaptive Signal Detection in Auto-Regressive Interference with Gaussian Spectrum
A detector for the case of a radar target with known Doppler and unknown complex amplitude in complex Gaussian noise with unknown parameters has been derived. The detector assumes that the noise is an Auto-Regressive (AR) process with Gaussian autocorrelation function which is a suitable model for ground clutter in most scenarios involving airborne radars. The detector estimates the unknown...
متن کاملAdaptive Thresholding in Marine RADARs
In order to detect targets upon sea surface or near it, marine radars should be capable of distinguishing signals of target reflections from the sea clutter. Our proposed method in this paper relates to detection of dissimilar marine targets in an inhomogeneous environment with clutter and non-stationary noises, and is based on adaptive thresholding determination methods. The variance and t...
متن کاملNew Results on Clutter Reduction and Parameter Estimation for Landmine Detection Using Gpr
One of the main problems with the interpretation of GPR data is the strong ground reflection, obscuring signals arriving from just underneath the surface. The strength of this reflection can be reduced by deconvolution. This technique is especially useful when GPR is used to detect buried landmines. Parametric and non parametric time variant estimators are used for clutter characterization. Wav...
