Based on our previous work we propose to track multiple ground targets with GMTI (GroundMoving Target Indicator) sensors as well as with imagery sensors. The scope of this paper is to fuse the attribute type information given by heterogeneous sensors with DSmT (Dezert Smarandache Theory) and to introduce the type results in the tracking process to improve its performances.

We present an application of a multi hypothesis tracking (MHT) algorithm to the case of ground moving targets detected by GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indicator) radar sensors. The algorithms for track extraction, prediction, filtering, and track maintenance are briefly described, and exemplary tracking results for simulated MTI data are demonstrated.

Abstract: Multiple targets tracking with a GMTI is a challenging problem for the battlefield surveillance. A new algorithm is used in order to track multiple manoeuvring ground targets with road constraint. However, the case of nondetected targets due to the ground context is not tacking in account in the target tracking process. In this paper, we present our approach to track ground targets wi...

Background modeling is the key technology for moving target detection implemented with the background difference method. The conventional background modeling methods cost large amount of calculation time, in order to improve the speed and precision of the model, this paper presents an improved Frame Difference Background Modeling. The frame difference background modeling was initialized by Sele...

This publication is a follow-up study to MTI publication 00-01, Why Campaigns for Local Transportation Funding Initiatives Succeed or Fail: An Analysis of Four Communities and National Data. The earlier publication was case studies of four local ballot tax measures for transportation packages. The current study, Factors Influencing Voting Results of Local Transportation Funding Initiatives with...
