The development of high-tech, dim, small targets, such as drones and cruise missiles, brings great challenges to radar multi-target tracking (MTT), making it necessary extend the beam dwell time obtain a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In order solve problem sampling variation exacerbated by extending when detecting weak sector-matching (SM) PHD filter is proposed, which combines actual syste...

Matching on demographic variables is commonly used in case-control studies to adjust for confounding at the design stage. There is a presumption that matched data need to be analyzed by matched methods. Conditional logistic regression has become a standard for matched case-control data to tackle the sparse data problem. The sparse data problem, however, may not be a concern for loose-matching d...

Efficient and reliable map matching algorithms are essential for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. While most of the existing solutions fail to provide trustworthy outputs when the situation is ambiguous (road intersections, roundabouts, parallel roads ...), we present in this paper a new map-matching method based on a multi-hypothesis road tracking that takes advantage of the geographical da...

Video sequence matching is the most crucial step to verify whether a video sequence has been copied from another or not. The video sequence in question is represented by a set of visual descriptors. Based on such descriptors the sequence has to be matched with the sequences present in the database. Thus, sequence matching becomes a crucial task. Furthermore, to evade the verification process, o...

This paper investigates the detection of information hidden by the Least Significant Bit (LSB) matching scheme. In a theoretical context of known image media parameters, two important results are presented. First, the use of hypothesis testing theory allows us to design the Most Powerful (MP) test. Second, a study of the MP test gives us the opportunity to analytically calculate its statistical...

This article presents a new approach to matching occupancy grid maps by means of finding correspondences between a set of sparse features detected in the maps. The problem is stated here as a special instance of generic image registration. To cope with the uncertainty and ambiguity that arise from matching grid maps, we introduce a modified RANSAC algorithm which searches for a dynamic number o...

The matching hypothesis in social psychology claims that people are more likely to form a committed relationship with someone equally attractive. Previous works on stochastic models of human mate choice process indicate that patterns supporting the matching hypothesis could occur even when similarity is not the primary consideration in seeking partners. Yet, most if not all of these works conce...
