hand gesture recognition is very important to communicate in sign language. in this paper, an effective object tracking and hand gesture recognition method is proposed. this method is combination of two well-known approaches, the mean shift and the motion detection algorithm. the mean shift algorithm can track objects based on the color, then when hand passes the face occlusion happens. several...

This paper proposes a new radar tracking filter named Noise-estimate Particle Filter (NPF). Kalman filter and particle filter are popular filtering techniques for target tracking. The tracking performance of the Kalman filter severely depends on the setting of several parameters such as system noise and observation noise. However, it is an open problem how to choose proper parameters for variou...

In order to improve the performance of target tracking and solve the defects of unscented Kalman filter, a target tracking algorithm based on improved unscented Kalman filter is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the fading factor is introduced into the filter based on strong tracking filter to avoid the filter divergence, and then wavelet transform is used to estimate the statistical characteris...

As Kalman filter technology has better performance for estimation and prediction of dynamic signal, it is gradually used in GNSS signal tracking. According to the steady-state error, transfer function and equivalent noise bandwidth of Kalman filter and traditional loop in steady status, the tracking performance of these two methods is compared in theory. The theoretical analysis demonstrates th...

One of the most important problem in target tracking is Line Of Sight (LOS) rate estimation for using from PN (proportional navigation) guidance law. This paper deals on estimation of position and LOS rates of target with respect to the pursuer from available noisy RF seeker and tracker measurements. Due to many important for exact estimation on tracking problems must target position and Line O...

In this paper the problems of state estimation, tracking control and shape control in a micro-cantilever beam with nonlinear electrostatic actuation are investigated. The system’s partial differential equation of motion is converted into a set of ordinary differential equations by projection method. Observabillity of the system is proven and a state estimation system is designed using extended ...

In this paper, after defining pure proportional navigation guidance in the 3-dimensional state from a new point of view, range estimation for passive homing missiles isexplained. Modeling has been performed by using line of sight coordinates with a particulardefinition. To obtain convergent estimates of those state variables involved particularly inrange channel and unavailable from IR trackers...
