Overview
Providing the most up-to-date information available on sensors and tracking, this new resource helps you develop practical, innovative design solutions for single and multiple sensor systems, as well as biomedical applications for automated cell motility study systems. Plus, it discusses important innovations and applications in multitarget tracking, featuring succinct reviews of emergent technologies from the hottest R&D labs, to keep you at the forefront of your profession.This book addresses...
> Multisensor tracking, resource allocation, hardware and software considerations
> Multitarget tracking data association algorithms and various assignment techniques
> The incorporation of the Nearest Neighbor Joint Probabilistic Data Association algorithm into the Interacting Multiple Model estimator
> Non-linear filtering to fuse target kinematic state measurements and target signature measurements
> A Variable Structure Interacting Multiple Model (VS-IMM) estimator combined with an Assignment algorithm for tracking multiple ground targets using MTI data obtained from an airborne sensor
Of special interest to designers and systems engineers, the book includes a discussion of ECMs that might be used to corrupt radar tracking performance and ways to computer-model these ECMs for use in simulations. Plus, you get a detailed signal processing model to help you optimize sonar/radar waveforms for tracking, and a comprehensive introduction to variable structure estimators to help you assess their practical applications.
