We develop an Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for the simultaneous tracking and shape estimation of a star-convex object based on multiple spatially distributed measurements. In order to formulate the problem within the EM framework, the unknown measurement sources on the object are modeled as hidden variables. As the measurement sources are continuous quantities, we develop a suitable discretization...
Topics on clustering ensemble have attracted much attention in recent years. In many clustering ensemble frameworks, the simple partitional clustering methods, e.g., the most famous κ-means, are used as the ensemble's member “clusterers”, due to their low computational complexity. These ensemble approaches extend the scope of application of individual clustering algorithms, and improve the robustness...
In this paper, a novel image moment-based model for extended object shape estimation and tracking is presented. A method to represent and estimate an elliptical shape using its image moments is first developed. The model of representing the shape of an object falls under the category of random hypersurface model (RHM) for extended object tracking. The moments are estimated using an unscented Kalman...
Despite many proposed solutions, multi-object tracking remains a challenging problem in complex situations involving partial occlusions and non-uniform and abrupt illumination changes. Considering modular systems, the tracking performance strongly depends on the consistency of the different blocks relatively to error features. In this work, using the Belief Function framework, we take into account...
Our newly proposed approach to extended object tracking (EOT) using extension deformation is simple and effective. This approach assumes that the extension of an object is deformed from an ellipsoidal reference extension, which unfortunately restricts its use for complex extensions. To overcome this weakness, this paper proposes that the current object extension be modeled as deformed from the one...
For distributed estimation, algorithms have to be specifically crafted to minimize communication between the sensor nodes. As an adjusted version of the regular Kalman filter, the distributed Kalman filter (DKF) allows for deriving optimal results while not requiring regular communication. To achieve this, the DKF requires that each node has full knowledge about the system model and measurement models...
