Clutter Removal in Sonar Image Target Tracking Using PHD Filter

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

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 features can remove clutter and track targets accurately and precisely. PHD filter does not need data association techniques and so can be used in online application where spent time for tracking is very important.

Bayesian Multiple Target Tracking in Forward Scan Sonar Images Using the PHD Filter

A multiple target tracking algorithm for forward-looking sonar images is presented. The algorithm will track a variable number of targets estimating both the number of targets and their locations. Targets are tracked from range and bearing measurements by estimating the first-order statistical moment of the multitarget probability distribution called the Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD). Th...

Multi-target tracking with PHD filter using Doppler-only measurements

In this paper, we address the problem of multi-target detection and tracking over a network of separately located Doppler-shift measuring sensors. For this challenging problem, we propose to use the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter and present two implementations of the PHD filter, namely the sequential Monte Carlo PHD (SMC-PHD) and the Gaussian mixture PHD (GM-PHD) filters. Performa...

Extended Target Tracking using a Gaussian-Mixture PHD filter

This paper presents a Gaussian-mixture implementation of the PHD filter for tracking extended targets. The exact filter requires processing of all possible measurement set partitions, which is generally infeasible to implement. A method is proposed for limiting the number of considered partitions and possible alternatives are discussed. The implementation is used on simulated data and in experi...

Extended Emitter Target Tracking Using GM-PHD Filter

If equipped with several radar emitters, a target will produce more than one measurement per time step and is denoted as an extended target. However, due to the requirement of all possible measurement set partitions, the exact probability hypothesis density filter for extended target tracking is computationally intractable. To reduce the computational burden, a fast partitioning algorithm based...

Target Detection in Clutter for Sonar Imagery

This proposal is a direct response to Challenge 22: Target detection in clutter. The Oceans Systems laboratory have a large experience in Target Detection and Classification in high resolution sonar imagery using a variety of techniques based on target responses and highlight shadow pairs[1,2,3]. Experiments on real scenarios show that these techniques work well in benign environments (flat and...

A New Modified Particle Filter With Application in Target Tracking

The particle filter (PF) is a novel technique that has sufficiently good estimation results for the nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems. However, PF is inconsistent that caused mainly by loss of particle diversity in resampling step and unknown a priori knowledge of the noise statistics. This paper introduces a new modified particle filter called adaptive unscented particle filter (AUPF) to overcome th...
