Target Tracking for Networked Moving Camera using Unsynchronous Multiple Sensor Data

Quadrotor UAV Guidence For Ground Moving Target Tracking

The studies in aerial vehicles modeling and control have been increased rapidly recently. In this paper , a coordination of two types of heterogeneous robots , namely unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is considered. In this paper the UAV plays the role of a virtual leader for the UGVs. The system consists of a vision- based target detection algorithm that uses the ...

Multiple Target Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Sensor Grouping and Hybrid Iterative-Heuristic Optimization

A novel hybrid method for tracking multiple indistinguishable maneuvering targets using a wireless sensor network is introduced in this paper. The problem of tracking the location of targets is formulated as a Maximum Likelihood Estimation. We propose a hybrid optimization method, which consists of an iterative and a heuristic search method, for finding the location of targets simultaneously. T...

Tracking Multiple Moving Targets using a Camera and Laser Rangefinder

Tracking Multiple Moving Targets using a Camera and Laser Rangefinder

We propose a target tracking system based on a camera and laser rangefinder. Two trackers have been developed: a laser-based tracker and a vision-based tracker. They detect moving or bright-colored targets, and report the positions of the targets in a coordinate system rigidly attached to the sensors. Both trackers have been implemented and tested with stationary sensors embedded in an office e...

Target tracking using Interactive Multiple Model for Wireless Sensor Network

Target tracking in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) environment is a challenging research problem. Interactive Multiple Model (IMM) is a popular scheme for accurate target tracking. The existing target tracking scheme used in WSN employs Kalman Filter (KF) which fails to track the target accurately due to non availability of target data at regular intervals and missing of packets. Though existin...
