The testbed allows experimenting with highlevel distributed information fusion, dynamic resource management and configuration management given multiple constraints on the resources and their communication networks. The testbed provides general services that are useful for testing many information fusion applications. Services include a multi-layer plug-and-play architecture, and a general multi-agent...
In this paper, we present a toolbox to evaluate motion strategies in a realistic surveillance context for the purpose of enhancing decision support capabilities. Five components of the toolbox (Discretization, State Generation, State Searching, Behaviour Simulation and Visualization) implement the theoretical concepts put forward in previous works which outlined formal definitions of situation, situation...
DRDC Valcartier has initiated, through a PRECARN partnership project, the development of an advanced simulation test bed called CanCoastWatch. The main focus of this test bed is to study net-enabled concepts such as distributed information fusion algorithms and architectures, dynamic resources and networks configuration management, and self-synchronising units and agents. The test bed allows the evaluation...
MacDonald Dettwiler is leading a PRECARN partnership project to develop an advanced simulation testbed for the evaluation of the effectiveness of Network Enabled Operations in a coastal large volume surveillance situation. The main focus of this testbed is to study concepts like distributed information fusion, dynamic resources and networks configuration management, and self synchronising units and...
In this paper, a goal-driven net-enabled distributed data fusion system is described for CanCoastWatch (CCW) project. Multiple sensors are deployed and managed to achieve the goals of situation assessment using a net-enabled architecture. The local tracks reported by multiple sensors are first integrated into global tracks. Decision making is then performed on basic sub-goals that can be directly...
Two new approximate inverse kinematic operators (AIKO) for Cartesian space feedback are introduced. They are particularly useful for manipulators that do not have a closed form kinematic inverse. Compared to the inverse Jacobian methods, they require fewer computations, are easily applied to redundant manipulators, and they are inherently singularity robust. The effect of the operators on the stability...
