چکیده
WEI, CHUNPENG. Driver Assistant System: Robust Segmentation based on Topological Persistent Analysis and Multi-target Tracking based on Dynamic Programming. (Under the direction of Dr. Edgar Lobaton.) This thesis work mainly focus on two topics. First, a new methodology for robust segmentation of obstacles from stereo disparity maps in an on-road environment is presented. The thesis work first construct a probability of the occupancy grid map using the UV-disparity methodology. Traditionally, a simple threshold has been applied to segment the resulting region; however, this outcome is sensitive to the parameter value. Instead of thresholding, the thesis work perform a topological persistence analysis on the constructed occupancy map. The topological frame-work hierarchically encodes all possible segmentation results as a function of the threshold, thus can identify the regions that are most persistent. This leads to a more robust segmentation. Second, a robust multitarget tracking technique for obstacles on the road using depth imaging information is proposed. The novelty of this proposed approach lies in the use of the robust obstacle segmentation method based on topological persistence, as input to a max flow based tracking algorithm. To reduce time as well as computational complexity, the max flow problem is solved using a dynamic programming algorithm. This thesis work incorporate Kalman filter and neural network in this method to attain robust tracking results. The proposed tracking algorithm has been tested on several stereo datasets and the results show that there is an improvement on robustness when comparing performance with and without the topological persistent detection. © Copyright 2015 by Chunpeng Wei

Target Tracking Based on Virtual Grid in Wireless Sensor Networks
One of the most important and typical application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is target tracking. Although target tracking, can provide benefits for large-scale WSNs and organize them into clusters but tracking a moving target in cluster-based WSNs suffers a boundary problem. The main goal of this paper was to introduce an efficient and novel mobility management protocol namely Target Tr...
متن کاملMeasuring a Dynamic Efficiency Based on MONLP Model under DEA Control
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a common technique in measuring the relative efficiency of a set of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Standard DEA models are quite limited models, in the sense that they do not consider a DMU at different times. To resolve this problem, DEA models with dynamic structures have been proposed.In a recent pape...

Developing optimal flocking control procedure is an essential problem in mobile sensor networks (MSNs). Furthermore, finding the parameters such that the sensors can reach to the target in an appropriate time is an important issue. This paper offers an optimization approach based on metaheuristic methods for flocking control in MSNs to follow a target. We develop a non-differentiable optimizati...
متن کاملA DSS-Based Dynamic Programming for Finding Optimal Markets Using Neural Networks and Pricing
One of the substantial challenges in marketing efforts is determining optimal markets, specifically in market segmentation. The problem is more controversial in electronic commerce and electronic marketing. Consumer behaviour is influenced by different factors and thus varies in different time periods. These dynamic impacts lead to the uncertain behaviour of consumers and therefore harden the t...

Bearings only tracking is a challenging issue with many applications in military and commercial areas. In distributed multi-sensor multi-target bearings only tracking, sensors are far from each other, but are exchanging data using telecommunication equipment. In addition to the general benefits of distributed systems, this tracking system has another important advantage: if the sensors are suff...
