The detection of slow moving targets by a moving bistatic pulsed Doppler radar system is addressed. Optimum clutter rejection is achieved using space-time adaptive processing (STAP). This requires estimating the clutter-plus-noise covariance matrix using a sequence of snapshots at successive ranges. For most monostatic and for all bistatic radar configurations, these snapshots are rangedependan...

The work presented in this paper describes a novel algorithm for automatic video object tracking based on a process of subtraction of successive frames, where the prediction of the direction of movement of the object being tracked is carried out by analyzing the changing areas generated as result of the object’s motion, specifically in regions of interest defined inside the object being tracked...

This paper deals with the numerical solution of a class of reaction diffusion equations arises from ecological phenomena. When two species are introduced into unoccupied habitat, they can spread across the environment as two travelling waves with the wave of the faster reproducer moving ahead of the slower.The mathematical modelling of invasions of species in more complex settings that include ...

A time domain method is presented to identify the moving loads on the bridge deck from measuring strains. The bridge deck is modelled as a rectangular orthotropic plate. The vehicle is modelled as two axle loads moving on the bridge deck. Like all inverse problems, the identification is an ill-posed problem, so a regularization technique is employed to stabilize the solution. This paper gives a...

Objects are critical functional units for many aspects of visual perception and recognition. Many psychophysical experiments support the concept of an "object file" consisting of characteristics attributed to a single object on the basis of successive views of it, but there has been little evidence that object identity influences apparent brightness and color. In this study, we investigated whe...

In  this  paper,  a  method  is  presented  for  damage  detection  of  bridges  using  the  Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization (ECBO)  utilizing time-domain responses. The finite element modeling of the structure is based on  the equation of motion under the moving load, and the flexural stiffness of the structure is determined by the acceleration responses obtained via sensors placed in d...
