Book Description
This text is the most comprehensive
compilation of practical algorithms for the estimation of the states
of targets in surveillance systems operating in a multitarget-multisensor
environment.
This problem is characterized by measurement origin uncertainty, typical
for low observables. A listing of the various tracking problems and
the appropriate algorithms is given and the assumptions and applicability
of each algorithm are clearly indicated.
The tools for design of algorithms for the association of measurements
and tracking are presented. Explicit consideration is given for measurements
obtained from different sensors under realistic assumptions --- lack
of synchronicity and different detection and accuracy characteristics.
Several real-data examples are given to illustrate the techniques
discussed. The modeling accounts for target maneuvers, detection probability,
false alarms, interference from other targets and the finite resolution
capability of sensors.
The problems of track initiation, track maintenance and track-to-track
association and fusion in a multisensor situation are considered.
The optimization of certain signal processing parameters based on
tracking performance is also discussed. Many of these techniques have
applications to state estimation when using multiple sensors in control
systems, autonomous vehicle navigation and robotics.
This text is written in textgraph TM format --- a self-contained concise
text also suitable for use as viewgraphs. An extensive index is provided
with all the indexed terms highlighted in the text for the convenience
of the reader.
