A Rao-Blackwellized particle filter for joint parameter estimation and biomass tracking in a stochastic predator-prey system.

چکیده
Functional response estimation and population tracking in predator-prey systems are critical problems in ecology. In this paper we consider a stochastic predator-prey system with a Lotka-Volterra functional response and propose a particle filtering method for: (a) estimating the behavioral parameter representing the rate of effective search per predator in the functional response and (b) forecasting the population biomass using field data. In particular, the proposed technique combines a sequential Monte Carlo sampling scheme for tracking the time-varying biomass with the analytical integration of the unknown behavioral parameter. In order to assess the performance of the method, we show results for both synthetic and observed data collected in an acarine predator-prey system, namely the pest mite Tetranychus urticae and the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis.

A Rao-Blackwellized Mixed State Particle Filter for Head Pose Tracking
This paper presents a Rao-Blackwellized mixed state particle filter for joint head tracking and pose estimation. Rao-Blackwellizing a particle filter consists of marginalizing some of the variables of the state space in order to exactly compute their posterior probability density function. Marginalizing variables reduces the dimension of the configuration space and makes the particle filter mor...
متن کاملTarget Tracking with Unknown Maneuvers Using Adaptive Parameter Estimation in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract- Tracking a target which is sensed by a collection of randomly deployed, limited-capacity, and short-ranged sensors is a tricky problem and, yet applicable to the empirical world. In this paper, this challenge has been addressed a by introducing a nested algorithm to track a maneuvering target entering the sensor field. In the proposed nested algorithm, different modules are to fulfill...
متن کاملA Rao-Blackwellized Mixed State Particle Filter for Head Pose Tracking in Meetings
This paper addresses the problem of head pose estimation in the context of meetings. More precisely, given a video of people involved in a meeting, the goal is to estimate the pose of people’s head with respect to the camera, which could ultimately translate into the estimation of the focusof-attention of people (who is looking at whom or what). To this end, we present a Rao-Blackwellized mixed...
متن کاملRao-Blackwellized particle filter for multiple target tracking
In this article we propose a new Rao-Blackwellized particle filtering based algorithm for tracking an unknown number of targets. The algorithm is based on formulating probabilistic stochastic process models for target states, data associations, and birth and death processes. The tracking of these stochastic processes is implemented using sequential Monte Carlo sampling or particle filtering, an...
متن کاملRao-Blackwellized Particle Filter for Human Appearance and Position Tracking
In human motion analysis, the joint estimation of appearance, body pose and location parameters is not always tractable due to its huge computational cost. In this paper, we propose a Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter for addressing the problem of human pose estimation and tracking. The advantage of the proposed approach is that RaoBlackwellization allows the state variables to be splitted into...
