Multiple Identity Tracking and Entropy in an ATC-like Task
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research investigated an observer’s ability to track and maintain multiple uniquely identified objects in a dynamic environment similar to ATC. The experimental task consisted of tracking a set of moving objects for twenty seconds. The objects were 6-character strings; three letters followed by three numbers. After tracking the objects for twenty seconds, the participants were instructed to locate a target-object. The time required to find the target object was recorded. The number of objects and the magnitude of direction changes (entropy) were manipulated. We found (1) a highly significant effect of increasing response times as a function of number of objects, (2) a marginally significant effect of entropy, decreasing response times as a function of entropy, and (3) a significant effect of displacement, increasing response times as a function of objects’ displacement.

Multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. In this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. We have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. In the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (SVM) person-specific classifie...
متن کاملMultiple-Target Tracking and Identity Management with Application to Aircraft Tracking
The problem of tracking and managing the identities of multiple targets is discussed and applied to the passive radar tracking of aircraft. The targets are assumed to be commercial aircraft switchingmodes during flight, and are thus well modeled by hybrid systems. We propose a computationally efficient algorithm based on joint probabilistic data association for target-measurement correlation. W...

Cycle time optimization could be one of the great challenges in business process management. Although there is much research on this subject, task similarities have been paid little attention. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to optimize cycle time by minimizing entropy of work lists in resource allocation while keeping workloads balanced. The idea of the entropy of work lists comes fr...
