Algorithms for Sonar Tracking in Biomimetic Robotics
نویسنده
چکیده
Bats are suspected of using predictive tracking in their insect-capture behavior. In Webster and Brazier (1965) they are observed capturing rapidly accelerating moths in the presence of vegetation. This is of interest in the context of sonar-guided behavior in biomimetic robotics. Engineering approaches to that problem often use radar tracking algorithms, particularly various Kalman filters, which have limited biological realism. This paper examines the effectiveness of those algorithms in a task often performed by echolocating bats—the capture of maneuvering insects.

BatSLAM: Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Using Biomimetic Sonar
We propose to combine a biomimetic navigation model which solves a simultaneous localization and mapping task with a biomimetic sonar mounted on a mobile robot to address two related questions. First, can robotic sonar sensing lead to intelligent interactions with complex environments? Second, can we model sonar based spatial orientation and the construction of spatial maps by bats? To address ...
متن کاملClutter Removal in Sonar Image Target Tracking Using PHD Filter
In this paper we have presented a new procedure for sonar image target tracking using PHD filter besides K-means algorithm in high density clutter environment. We have presented K-means as data clustering technique in this paper to estimate the location of targets. Sonar images target tracking is a very good sample of high clutter environment. As can be seen, PHD filter because of its special f...
متن کاملTriangulation-based fusion of sonar data with application in robot pose tracking
In this paper a sensor fusion scheme, called triangulation-based fusion (TBF) of sonar data, is presented. This algorithm delivers stable natural point landmarks, which appear in practically all indoor environments, i.e., vertical edges like door posts, table legs, and so forth. The landmark precision is in most cases within centimeters. The TBF algorithm is implemented as a voting scheme, whic...

Underwater multi-targets tracking has always been a difficult problem in active sonar tracking systems. In order to estimate the parameters of time-varying multi-targets moving in underwater environments, based on the Bayesian filtering framework, the Random Finite Set (RFS) is introduced to multi-targets tracking, which not only avoids the problem of data association in multi-targets tracking,...
