چکیده
In this work we consider a target tracking scenario where a moving observer with a bearings-only sensor is tracking a target. The tracking performance is highly dependent on the trajectory of the sensor platform, and the problem is to determine how it should maneuver for optimal tracking performance. The problem is considered as a stochastic optimal control problem and two sub-optimal control strategies are presented based on the Information filter and the determinant of the information matrix as the optimization objective. Using the determinant of the information matrix as an objective function in the planning problem is equivalent to using differential entropy of the posterior target density when it is Gaussian. For the non-Gaussian case, an approximation of the differential entropy of a density represented by a particle mixture is proposed. Furthermore, a gradient approximation of the differential entropy is derived and used in a stochastic gradient search algorithm applied to the planning problem.

Information Based Aerial Exploration with a Gimballed EO/IR Sensor, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2886
In this report we present an exploration framework that is inspired by the research in optimal path for bearings-only tracking. A number of static grid points represent the area to be explored by an aerial sensor platform with a gimballed EO/IR staring array sensor with limited field-of-view. The problem is to plan the path of the sensor platform and the aiming direction of the EO/IR sensor to ...
متن کاملOn Information Measures for Bearings-only Estimation of a Random Walk Target, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2888
This report considers the bearings-only estimation problem of a random walk target. The estimation performance for a number of information measures in the Extended Kalman filter framework are investigated, both from a theoretical point of view and by simulation examples.
متن کاملOptimal Observer Path Planning For Bearings-Only Moving Targets Tracking Using Chebyshev Polynomials
In this paper, an optimization problem for the observer trajectory in the bearings-only surface moving target tracking (BOT) is studied. The BOT depends directly on the observability of the target's position in the target/observer geometry or the optimal observer maneuver. Therefore, the maximum lower band of the Fisher information matrix is opted as an independent criterion of the target estim...
متن کاملThe Marginalized Auxiliary Particle Filter, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2934
In this paper we are concerned with nonlinear systems subject to a conditionally linear, Gaussian sub-structure. This structure is often exploited in high-dimensional state estimation problems using the marginalized (aka Rao-Blackwellized) particle lter. The main contribution in the present work is to show how an e cient lter can be derived by exploiting this structure within the auxiliary part...
متن کاملExtended Target Tracking using a Gaussian-Mixture PHD filter, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-3028
This paper presents a Gaussian-mixture implementation of the PHD lter for tracking extended targets. The exact lter requires processing of all possible measurement set partitions, which is generally infeasible to implement. A method is proposed for limiting the number of considered partitions and possible alternatives are discussed. The implementation is used on simulated data and in experiment...
