DA-PMHT for Multistatic Passive Radar Multitarget Tracking in Dense Clutter Environment

Multitarget tracking in cluttered environment for a multistatic passive radar system under the DAB/DVB network

The target tracking using multistatic passive radar in a digital audio/video broadcast (DAB/DVB) network with illuminators of opportunity faces two main challenges: the first challenge is that one has to solve the measurement-to-illuminator association ambiguity in addition to the conventional association ambiguity between the measurements and targets, which introduces a significantly complex t...

The PMHT for Passive Radar in a DAB/DVB Network

Passive Bistatic Radar (PBR), also known as Passive Coherent Location (PCL), uses illuminators of opportunity. Passive radar using signals in a single frequency network modulated according to the Digital Audio/Video Broadcasting (DAB/DVB) standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has recently been of increasing interest. There has been considerable research to develop tr...

Multitarget Tracking of Distributed Targets Using Histogram-PMHT

It has been shown previously that the Histogram Probabilistic Multi-Hypothesis Tracking (HPMHT) algorithm enables tracking of targets distributed across several sensor cells. Two related aspects of the H-PMHT algorithm are discussed in this paper, namely the estimation of target spread, and the use of the negative multinomial distribution to compensate for unobserved sensor cells. The examples ...

Passive multitarget tracking with cameras

This paper considers large areas surveillance and 3D tracking with passive data, obtained here by geographically distributed cameras. The first step, at a camera level, is to detect moving objects in the video sequence and we propose a very simple, fast and efficient approach: a pixel level background subtraction technique to segment foreground pixels and a region level process where segmented ...
