Abstract: A new deghosting method based on the generalized triangulation is presented. First, two intersection points corresponding to the emitter position are obtained by utilizing two azimuth angles and two elevation angles from two jammed 3-D radars (or 2-D passive sensors). Then, hypothesis testing based deghosting method in the multiple target scenarios is proposed using the two intersection points. In order to analyze the performance of the proposed method, the correct association probability of the true targets and the incorrect association probability of the ghost targets are defined. Finally, the Monte Carlo simulations are given for the proposed method compared with the hinge angle method in the cases of both two and three radars. The simulation results show that the proposed method has better performance than the hinge angle method in three radars case.

Abstract: When the coordinates of the target are obtained by direction-finding location through multiple passive sensors, the associated bearing measurements must be the same time detection of these sensors. But these sensors may have different sampling intervals, and the time of these sensors beginning to receive the target signal may be also different. In this case, the first problem one must solve in direction-finding location is measurement synchronization. The paper studies this problem and proposes a method to solve it. An improved least distance method is used in this paper to eliminate the false intersection points. The methods of track initiation and maintenance in multitarget tracking are also discussed in this paper. The simulation results show that passive sensors can track multiple targets at the same time using the methods discussed in this paper

Abstract: Considering that the motion targets are remarkably observable in the situation of bearing-only location with single sensor, a new method is presented in this paper, namely, passive tracking algorithm based on the multi-hypothesis unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The algorithm firstly divides the probable initial range interval of the target into subintervals, and for each subinterval UKF is used. Finally, the combined state estimate is obtained as weighted sums of the state estimate of each subinterval. Simulation proves that compared with other passive target motion analysis methods under the same circumstance, the method shows an apparently better performance, especially in target status accuracy and algorithm stability. Moreover, the method is advantaged for it doesn't call for single sensor measurement data, and it doesn't require the sensor platform to have particular maneuver.

Abstract: Multitarget tracking with bearings only measurements of two passive sensors is a very important problem, which has not been solved. To counter this problem a method is proposed in this paper, This method firstly used the bearing measurements of two passive sensors to estimate the initial range interval of targets, which are divided into several subintervals. At each subinterval an extended Kalman filter and a multihypothesis method are used to estimate the state of targets. At the same time the bearing measurements are associated. Combined state estimate is obtained as weighted sums of the state estimate of each subinterval. Simulation results show that through using the algorithm discussed in this paper two passive sensors can locate and track multiple targets at the same time.

Abstract: In modern ECM and ECCM environments, bistatic radar systems have drawn increasing interest in military applications. Bistatic radar system involves two types: T-R and T/R-R. However, the feasibility of compressing redundant data in a bistatic radar system by Markov estimation has received little attention so far. This paper presents a theorem with respect to this particular issue. Theoretical analysis shows that, if there are same components in two measurement sets, redundant data compression in the sense of Markov estimation can not be made. Under the circumstance that the redundant data can be compressed, simulation results show that data compression can improve the location precision greatly in a bistatic radar system, and particularly in the region of the base line, the near region of the transmitter station and the receiver station

W. Guohong and H. You, "Sequential track monitoring with multiple 2-D Passive sensors," in Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics, vol. 9, no. 2, pp. 31-39, June 1998.
Abstract: Track monitoring is a fast method of determining incorrect return-to-track and track-to-track assignments. An analytical method to evaluate the effectiveness of track monitoring was presented by reference [1]. In order to reduce the probability of initiating or accepting the ghost track, two sequential track monitoring algorithms, which use the inclination angles to form test statistics, are proposed in this paper. Two decision rules are given and the corresponding thresholds are derived. The paper also gives the estimation methods of the noncentral parameter of noncentral chi-square distribution when the true value of it is unknown. the algorithms can adaptively estimate the decision thresholds and can make sequential track monitoring decision on line. Simulation is also made and the results show that the proposed algorithms are effective and feasible.

Abstract: This paper studies the performance of the GOSGO and GOSSO CFAR detectors [1] in clutter edge situation. The authors derive the analytic expressions of the false alarm probabilities in that situation, analyze their performances against clutter edge, and compare them with the OS, CA, GO and SO detectors. The results show that GOSGO possesses better performance than GO for countering clutter, but the performance of GOSSO is very unideal.

Abstract: Eliminating the false intersection (deghosting) is a difficult problem in a passive cross location system. Using a decentralized decision fusion topology, a new deghosting algorithm derived from hypothesis testing theory is developed. It uses the difference between ghosts and true targets in the statistical error, which occurs between their projection angles on a deghosting sensor and is measured from a deghosting sensor, and constructs a corresponding test statistic. Under the Gaussian assumption, ghosts and true targets are decided and discriminated by Chi-square distribution. Simulation results show the feasibility of the algorithm.

Abstract: CFAR technique is widely used in radar targets detection fields. Traditional algorithm is cell averaging (CA), which can give a good detection performance in a relatively ideal environment. Recently, censoring technique is adopted to make the detector perform robustly. Ordered statistic (OS) and trimmed mean (TM) methods are proposed. TM methods treat the reference samples which participate in clutter power estimates equally, but this processing will not realize the effective estimates of clutter power. Therefore, in this paper a quasi best weighted (QBW) order statistics algorithm is presented. In special cases, QBW reduces to CA and the censored mean level detector (CMLD).

Abstract: Aiming at three-passive-sensor location system, a generalized 3-dimension (3-D) assignment model is constructed based on property information, and a multi-target programming model is proposed based on direction-finding and property fusion information. The multi-target programming model is transformed into a single target programming problem to resolve, and its data association result is compared with the results which are solved by using one kind of information only. Simulation experiments show the effectiveness of the multi-target programming algorithm with higher data association accuracy and less calculation.

doi: 10.1109/WCACEM.2005.1469597
Abstract: A blind beamforming algorithm based on a neural network is presented according to the characteristic of cyclostationary signals. This method transforms the question of estimating beamformer weight vectors into the one of computing the SVD of the cross correlation matrix of array input signals and their frequency shift signals. A cross correlation neural network is introduced to compute the SVD of the cross correlation matrix so as to reduce the computational complexity and carry out the blind beamforming more efficiently. The improved cross-coupled Hebbian learning rule presented can make the weights of the neural network converge much fast. Therefore, it is more promising in the practical use. This method can restrain noise and interference. Simulation proves its correctness.

Abstract: Due to the different data rates of the sensors and communication delays in the radar netting, the research of the asynchronous multisensor data fusion problem is more practical than that of the synchronous one. Through discussing the sequential approach, which is the classical asynchronous multisensor data fusion algorithm, a new algorithm based on distributed computation structure is proposed. The new algorithm can meet the requirement of real-time computation of netting fusion system, and is more practical for engineering compared with the classical sequential approach. Simulation results show the validity of the presented algorithm.

Abstract: In order to resolve the problem of track-to-track association in a distributed multisensor situation, this paper presents independent and dependent sequential track correlation algorithms based on Singer's and Bar-Shalom's algorithms. Based on sequential track correlation algorithm, the restricted and attenuation memory track correlation algorithms and sequential classic assignment rules are proposed. In this paper, these algorithms are described in detail. Then, the track correlation mass and multivalency processing methods are discussed as well. Finally, simulations are designed to compare the correlation performance of these algorithms with that of Singer's and Bar-Shalom's algorithms. The simulation results show that the performance of these algorithms proposed here is much better than that of the classical methods under the environments of dense targets, interfering, noise, track cross, and so on. Under the above situations, their correct correlation ratio is improved about 69 percent over the classical methods

doi: 10.1016/S1004-4132(08)60001-8
Abstract: Under the scenario of dense targets in clutter, a multi-layer optimal data correlation algorithm is proposed. This algorithm eliminates a large number of false location points from the assignment process by rough correlations before we calculate the correlation cost, so it avoids the operations for the target state estimate and the calculation of the correlation cost for the false correlation sets. In the meantime, with the elimination of these points in the rough correlation, the disturbance from the false correlations in the assignment process is decreased, so the data correlation accuracy is improved correspondingly. Complexity analyses of the new multi-layer optimal algorithm and the traditional optimal assignment algorithm are given. Simulation results show that the new algorithm is feasible and effective.

Abstract: The optimal fusion solution with feedback information for a hybrid multisensor data fusion system is presented. In this system, a part of sensors process their data locally to produce local tracks, and another part of sensors only provide detection reports These tracks and detection reports are communicated to a central site where track fusion and composite filtering are performed. The comparative results on the simulations suggest the feedback information from the center can greatly improve the tracking performance of the local node.

Abstract: The Dezert-Smarandache theory (DSmT) is a useful method for dealing with uncertainty problems. It is more efficient in combining conflicting evidence. Therefore, it has been successfully applied in data fusion and object recognition. However, there exist shortcomings in its combination rule. An efficient combination rule is presented, that is, the evidence's conflicting probability is distributed to every proposition based on remaining the focal elements of conflict. Experiments show that the new combination rule improves the reliability and rationality of the combination results. Although evidences conflict another one highly, good combination results are also obtained.

doi: 10.1049/iet-rsn.2012.0199
Abstract: Systematic error of radar cannot be accurately determined solely with the use of an automatic dependent surveillance broadcasting (ADS-B) device. This is largely, because of the device's inability to obtain the exact transmitting time of ADS-B data packets. In order to study and establish an efficient and accurate error registration algorithm for radars based on the ADS-B system, a joint systematic error estimation model of the radar and ADS-B was built. The authors showed that when receiving time is known, the time difference between radar measuring time and ADS-B data transmitting time is consistently biased, a feature that can be used to calculate the systematic error of the ADS-B receiving system. Then, they established an error estimation model based on the joint systematic error of the radar and ADS-B. The generalised least squares estimation method was adopted to solve the model. Finally, data samples verified the accuracy and effectiveness of the error registration algorithm.

doi: 10.1109/LGRS.2012.2203578
Abstract: This letter introduces a kind of algebraic fractal model-Paretian Poisson process to the field of sea spike modeling and target detection. Sea spikes are strong rapidly varying echoes lasting for up to some seconds, which can be judged from the clutter background according to three parameters, i.e., the spike amplitude, the minimum spike width, and the minimum interval between spikes. Paretian Poisson process performs well in describing a power-law connection between positive-valued measurements and their occurrence frequencies. In this letter, Paretian Poisson process is used for modeling the relation between the spike durations and the spikes' occurrence frequencies. By the verification of X-band radar data, we find that Paretian Poisson process can well model sea spikes, and its parameters, the Paretian exponent and the residual sum of squares, have the potential for distinguishing targets from sea spikes.

doi: 10.1049/iet-rsn.2013.0283
Abstract: Distributed analysis of target kinematics captured by a large network of sensors has received significant attention lately. Tracking moving targets in nonlinear systems is one of the most fundamental tasks in this regard and information-type consensus filters (ICFs) have been applied to this problem. To improve the estimate performance, a squared-root cubature information filter which can avoid numerically sensitive matrix operations such as matrix square-rooting and inversion has been developed firstly. And then, based on this filter, a decentralised information filtering algorithm is proposed in an improved consensus framework. Specifically, consensus update at each time-cycle in the modified consensus scheme is computed in two steps, first towards the predicted value and then towards the final information estimate update, which can improve average estimation accuracy and speed the average consensus. Besides the basic merits of the traditional ICFs, the resulting algorithm is more scalable and robust. Simulation results clearly show the advantage of the proposed algorithm compared with existing ICFs in the considered application scenario.

doi: 10.1049/cp.2015.1413
Abstract: The sequential Monte Carlo probability hypothesis density (SMC-PHD) filter has been demonstrated an elegant multi-target tracking algorithm which is suitable for highly nonlinear systems. However, as a typical technique of extracting multi-target state for SMC-PHD, standard K-means clustering is unreliable due to the initialization, which chooses the initial cluster centers at random. To solve the problem of the K-means clustering, an initialization method for SMC-PHD based on likelihood function is proposed in this paper. First the likelihood function based statistic is defined and the selection of threshold used to obtain the target-generated measurements is illustrated. Then a novel initialization method is discussed in detail. Finally simulations are presented. The results show that the proposed method has better performance than the standard K-means clustering.

doi: 10.1049/cp.2015.1282
Abstract: We present a novel two-step radar signal detector against the non-Gaussian distributed clutter in this paper. The compound Gaussian distribution is employed to model the clutter, which describes the clutter vector as the product of a non-negative random variable (the so-called texture) with a complex Gaussian random vector (called the speckle). The posteriori probability density function of the texture parameter is given by the Bayesian approach using a non-informative priori. Then the expression of testing statistic is derived according to likelihood ratio test rules. The Monte Carlo simulation is taken to investigate the performance of the detector in several kinds of clutter environments and the results show its improvement compared to the conventional adaptive matched filter detector.

Abstract: Radar target constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection in wavelet domain is elementarily investigated in this paper. Theoretical analysis shows that independent and identically distributed Gaussian noise keeps the independence and variance invariable through the orthogonal wavelet transform. In the proposed detector, orthogonal wavelet transform is applied to radar echo signal and the wavelet coefficients are obtained. And then a squarer detector is utilized. After that, according to the characteristic of Gaussian noise in orthogonal wavelet domain, a cell average-CFAR detector model based on orthogonal wavelet transform is established. The probability equations of false alarm and detection are also deduced, and the influence of the wavelet coefficient length on detection performance is analyzed. Finally, the experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method can detect target under different false alarm rates effectively and adaptively.

Abstract: This paper presents an acquisition circuit design integrated with commercial ICs and platform is built for the development of long-term ECG monitor. An efficient DCT-IV-based ECG compression algorithm with a higher Quality Score (QS) and a better Compressing Ratio (CR) is further embedded to reduce a great number of recording data in storage and transmission. To fairly evaluate the performance of the proposed compressing algorithm, the ECG signals sourced from MIT-BIT arrhythmia database with a sampling rate of 360 Hz are employed to be the test patterns. The simulation results show that the averages of CR, Percent RMS Difference (PRD), and QS are, respectively, 5.267, 0.187, and 28.223 for all 48 lead-V1 patterns of MIT-BIH database. Compared with the Lee et al.'s algorithm, the QS value of the proposed method has a great improvement by 25%. Finally, we successfully combine the above works into a system and make a detailed comparison with state-of-the-art approach. The experiment results clearly show that the proposed system would be a better choice for realizing ECG signal acquisition in the future.

doi: 10.1049/iet-rsn.2012.0199
Abstract: Systematic error of radar cannot be accurately determined solely with the use of an automatic dependent surveillance broadcasting (ADS-B) device. This is largely, because of the device's inability to obtain the exact transmitting time of ADS-B data packets. In order to study and establish an efficient and accurate error registration algorithm for radars based on the ADS-B system, a joint systematic error estimation model of the radar and ADS-B was built. The authors showed that when receiving time is known, the time difference between radar measuring time and ADS-B data transmitting time is consistently biased, a feature that can be used to calculate the systematic error of the ADS-B receiving system. Then, they established an error estimation model based on the joint systematic error of the radar and ADS-B. The generalised least squares estimation method was adopted to solve the model. Finally, data samples verified the accuracy and effectiveness of the error registration algorithm.

doi: 10.1109/LGRS.2012.2203578
Abstract: This letter introduces a kind of algebraic fractal model-Paretian Poisson process to the field of sea spike modeling and target detection. Sea spikes are strong rapidly varying echoes lasting for up to some seconds, which can be judged from the clutter background according to three parameters, i.e., the spike amplitude, the minimum spike width, and the minimum interval between spikes. Paretian Poisson process performs well in describing a power-law connection between positive-valued measurements and their occurrence frequencies. In this letter, Paretian Poisson process is used for modeling the relation between the spike durations and the spikes' occurrence frequencies. By the verification of X-band radar data, we find that Paretian Poisson process can well model sea spikes, and its parameters, the Paretian exponent and the residual sum of squares, have the potential for distinguishing targets from sea spikes. Consequently, a target detection method is proposed, and the detecting performance is analyzed. The results show that the proposed method performs well in target detection except the high requirement of the quantity of samples.

Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of covariance matric estimation for radar adaptive constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection in clutter-dominated disturbance modeled as compound-Gaussian process. For estimation purposes we resort to range cells, free of signal components, can be clustered into groups of data with one and the same value of texture. Extending the homogeneous clutter-clustered estimator to a more generalized situation and an inhomogeneous clutter-clustered estimator (ICCE) is obtained. Furthermore, to improve the estimation accuracy a recursive ICCE (RICCE) is proposed. The ICCE and the RICCE both have the CFAR property with respect to the statistics of the texture and the clutter covariance matrix. Compared with the existing estimators, the simulation shows that the RICCE has the higher estimated accuracy.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analysis the amplitude modulation effect caused by the rotating transmit antenna pattern, which results in pulses loss within the direct-path pulse train. The loss mechanisms of signal to noise ratio (SNR) were discussed for these modulation phenomena. The analytical expression of the peak output of cross-ambiguity function was derived, which correspond to the cases of pulses loss occurrence. Simulation results show that the maximum SNR loss is less than 4 dB in the worst case, and the SNR loss curves for various Doppler frequencies and different number of pulse loss are conformed to the theoretical analysis. The worst Doppler frequency estimation bias is about 0.75 times the frequency resolution cell when there is no ambiguity in Doppler estimation.

Abstract: Aim to solve the problem that the memory of the centralized multi-sensor system is easy to be saturated, this paper has proposed a new algorithm named centralized multi-sensor general association algorithm based on data compress technique against a background, which has a relative demand of real-time and tracking precision. In this algorithm, the measurement sets associated with the same target from each sensor are obtained and compressed into equivalents. A lot of association hypotheses are built with the equivalents, the remainder measurements and the track of each target. The score of every hypothesis could be obtained with the formula of the score function in multi-sensor general association algorithm, and the state estimation of the fusion center is gained finally. The simulation results show that this algorithm could track the targets effectively with the high density clutter and the general performance of this algorithm is better than that of sequential centralized multi-sensor joint probabilistic data association algorithm and parallel centralized multi-sensor general association algorithm.

Abstract: In non-cooperation bistatic radar system, the target detection performance of the system is degraded by the background clutter and random noise. In order to solve this problem, a new method based on signal phase matching for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enhancement is proposed. It fully uses the phase differences of target signals and interference signals. The target signals are successfully separated from the background clutter and random noise according to the signal phase matching. The simulation results show that this method can effectively suppress the background clutter and random noise and remarkably enhance the SNR of the non-cooperation bistatic radar system, which has important and practical significance in improving the target detection performance of the non-cooperation bistatic radar system.

Abstract: In this paper we develop a simple yet more effective filtering algorithm for maneuvering target tracking of 3D Passive Location System by combination of pseudo linear filter with modified input estimation approach. In this method, the acceleration is treated as an additive input term in the corresponding state equation, and the augmented pseudo linear filter is used to solve the passive tracking problem of air maneuvering target. The original state and acceleration vectors are estimated simultaneously with the augmented pseudo linear filter. The proposed tracking algorithm operates in both the non-manoeuvring and the manoeuvring modes, and the manoeuvre detection procedure is eliminated. Simulation results show that using the method proposed in this paper passive sensor can track the maneuvering air target.

Abstract: Based on Geographic Information System(GIS) technology, the research of 3D geological modeling(3DGM) is carried out. The 3DGM method focused on complex geologic body is put forward, and modeling process is set up. First of all, according to the different strata, index layer of fault-block polygon is built. Then under the restraining of seismic interpretation surface and fault-block boundary, digital elevation model (DEM) tiles are built aiming at fault-block polygons in index layer. Based on index layer, DEM tiles are assembled into DEM of stratum aimed at index layer. Finally 3D structural model is built through overlaying DEM, and 3D geological model is generated based on 3D structural model. Taking Shu II district in the Liaohe Oilfield for example, 3D geological model of Dalinghe reservoir is successfully built based on this method. Visualization of model is realized through 3D GIS technology.

Abstract: The high-resolution radar echo is modeled as a range-spread target. Based on the generalized likelihood ratio test design procedure, the range-spread target detection in spherically invariant random vector clutter is addressed. And a binary integrator with constant false alarm rate property is proposed to detect the whole range-spread target, after single target scatterer detection in each range cell. Finally, the performance assessment shows that, the detection performance is improved as the number of sensors used or the clutter spike increases, while it is robust to the clutter correlation.

Abstract: Noncooperative narrow-band coherent processing techniques have been developed, however, this capability for wideband signals processing require to investigate further. Of all the obstacles preventing coherent reception techniques from making transition into the optical domain, phase noise caused by system imperfections is one of them. This kind of phase error will defocus discrete scattering centres in the range-Doppler image, which will preclude target identification and analysis. The amount of phase noise in signal is directly related to its so-called bandwidth, the 3 dB line width of its power spectrum. Numerous investigators have studied the effects of laser phase noise. We will examine the effects it has on the performance of this receiver. Both theory and application of this original work is extended in this paper. The research defined a system configuration and assessed its potential performance via modelling. It was developed to support pulse compression of wideband waveforms for applications. The associated implementation issues introduced by electro-optical component characteristics were discussed. Coherent detection was used to implement difference mixing for subsequent digital processing.

Abstract: Due to the limited transmission range, data sensed by each sensor has to be forwarded in a multi-hop fashion before being delivered to the sink. The sensors closer to the sink have to forward comparatively more message than sensors at the periphery of the network, the nodes will deplete their batteries earlier. Besides the loss of the sensing capabilities of the nodes close to the sink, a more serious consequence of the death of the first tier of sensor nodes is the loss of connectivity between the nodes at the periphery of the network and the sink. It makes the wireless networks expire. To alleviate this undesired effect, we adopt two improved schemes. The first one is to redistribute the total energy budget with data traffic load; the second one is to balance the uneven traffic by power control method. They maximize the useful lifetime of the network. We show by theoretical analysis, as well as simulation, that they substantially improve the network lifetime.

Abstract: The direct-path reference signal is affected by noise and multi-path interference signals. In order to restore the direct-path reference signal of non-cooperative bistatic pulse radar, the techniques of blind equalization are researched. Because the modulus of the direct-path signal is constant when the direct wave pulse is sustained, and is zero when the direct wave pulse is broken, the CMA and MMA algorithm in blind equalization algorithms are chosen as the proper algorithm. On the basis of the two algorithms, a modified CMA+MMA algorithm is proposed, and the validity of the algorithm is proved by using the computer simulation.

Abstract: In this paper, a new method is studied to associate the bearing measurements of different passive sensors. This method uses multi-dimension assignment algorithm for reference, and the nearest-neighbor method is combined with the holistic correlation method to reduce the dimension of bearing measurements association. Then, the chi-square test is used to associate the bearing measurements. Compared with the classical methods, this method can eliminate false intersection points more quickly and correctly.

Abstract: An adaptive hierarchical sliding-mode control (AHSMC) strategy for a class of second-order underactuated systems is presented. First, the whole system is divided into two subsystems. A first-level sliding surface is defined for each subsystem. Then a second-level sliding surface is defined for these two-level sliding surfaces. The AHSMC law is derived in Lyapunov sense when the uncertainties are bounded by an unknown constant. Therefore, the whole system can be drive to its sliding surface and stable.

Abstract: The Dezert-Smarandache theory (DSmT) is a useful method for dealing with uncertainty problems. It is more efficient in combining conflicting evidence. Therefore, it has been successfully applied in data fusion and object recognition. However, there exist shortcomings in its combination rule. An efficient combination rule is presented, that is, the evidence's conflicting probability is distributed to every proposition based on remaining the focal elements of conflict. Experiments show that the new combination rule improves the reliability and rationality of the combination results. Although evidences conflict another one highly, good combination results are also obtained.

doi: 10.1016/S1004-4132(08)60001-8
Abstract: Under the scenario of dense targets in clutter, a multi-layer optimal data correlation algorithm is proposed. This algorithm eliminates a large number of false location points from the assignment process by rough correlations before we calculate the correlation cost, so it avoids the operations for the target state estimate and the calculation of the correlation cost for the false correlation sets. In the meantime, with the elimination of these points in the rough correlation, the disturbance from the false correlations in the assignment process is decreased, so the data correlation accuracy is improved correspondingly. Complexity analyses of the new multi-layer optimal algorithm and the traditional optimal assignment algorithm are given. Simulation results show that the new algorithm is feasible and effective.

Abstract: The optimal fusion solution with feedback information for a hybrid multisensor data fusion system is presented. In this system, a part of sensors process their data locally to produce local tracks, and another part of sensors only provide detection reports These tracks and detection reports are communicated to a central site where track fusion and composite filtering are performed.

doi: 10.1109/ICMLC.2007.4370787
Abstract: Rough set theory is a relatively new soft computing tool to deal with vagueness and uncertainty, and is regarded as a field of leading edge. But it cannot deal with continuous attributes, thus discretization is a problem which we cannot neglect. Discretization based on rough set has some particular characteristics, and consistency must be satisfied for discretization of decision systems. Existing discretization methods cannot well process continuous interval-valued attributes in rough set theory. A new approach is proposed to discretize continuous interval-valued attributes in this paper, which enhances the precision of classification and accurate recognition rate in pattern recognition. In the simulation experiment, the decision table was composed of 3 features and 17 radar emitter signals, and the recognition results obtained from this discretization algorithm show that the proposed approach is valid and feasible. The approach expands the application scope of rough set theory.

Abstract: Introduce two important equations used in Kalman filter algorithm with coordinates-converting errors. Analyze the characteristic of distributed Kalman filtering algorithm with coordinates converting uncertainties in multi-coordinate sensor systems. Then, an improved federated filtering algorithm is introduced in the same systems. In the new algorithm, local processor can get global optimal estimation by the transformation of measurement equation and coordinate-converting equation. Accordingly, the Kalman filtering algorithm is transformed. Based on these mathematic methods, we only need coordinates converting once to obtain global estimation, which are always needed twice in the distributed algorithms. So, the filtering accuracy is improved. Simulation results also show that the federated algorithm has a better performance in improving the estimation accuracy

Abstract: When the Doppler frequency of target mismatches the fast Fourier transform (FFT) bin frequencies, the high side lobe appears. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been applied to output of weighed FFT (WFFT) to suppress side lobe. And then FFT/WFFT-DWT is proposed to improve processing gain (PG) further.

Abstract: Radar emitter information detected by multisensor system takes on uncertainty, illegibility and contradiction. In real reconnaissance environment, the patterns of radar classes often overlap, the accurate classification of the Pawlak rough set model restricts its application in the real world. In order to solve emitter recognition problem, a new method of finding decision rules is presented to classify radar emitter from the new point of view of variable precision rough set. This method is according to dependent degree of decision attributes on condition attributes. The decision rules proposed are more straightforward. At last, example of recognizing the radar emitter purposes is selected. During the experiment, discretization is conducted on extracted index data of radar emitter and metrical radar characteristic parameter firstly. Then, positive region of each condition attribute are calculated under the given error parameter, which is the basis of decision rules. Experimental results demonstrate this new radar emitter recognition method by finding decision rules based on variable precision rough set model is effective and feasibility

doi: 10.1109/ICOSP.2006.346127
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of coherent sources in impulse noise fields modeled as symmetric alpha stable (SalphaS) distribution. Robust covariation based MUSIC (ROC-MUSIC) and fractional lower moment based MUSIC (FLOM-MUSIC) cannot be used to estimate the DOA under these conditions. Firstly, new forward-backward smoothing (FBS)-covariation matrices and FBS-FLOM matrices are defined by applying the spatial smoothing idea to covariation matrices and FLOM matrices. Two new algorithms based on FBS-covariation matrices and FBS-FLOM matrices are presented in the meantime. Then, the two algorithms are generalized to beamspace, and other two new algorithms called BROC-SS and BFLOM-SS are proposed. Theoretical analysis shows that noise subspace can be estimated by the eigen-decomposition of covariation matrices and FLOM matrices in both element space and beamspace so as to estimate the DOA of coherent sources in impulse noise. Moreover, performance of four new algorithms is analyzed by comparison. Computer simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed methods

Abstract: The strong tracking filter (STF) can reduce adaptively estimate bias and thus has ability to track maneuvering target in nonlinear systems. However, STF achieves the perfect performance in maneuvering segment at a cost of the precision in non-maneuvering segment. So based on the strong tracking filter, a new adaptive tracking algorithm (modified strong tracking filter, MSTF) is derived in this paper, which is also suitable for tracking maneuvering target and has improved the precision of STF in non-maneuvering segment as well as maneuvering segment. The Monte-Carlo simulation results show that the MSTF algorithm has a more excellent performance than STF and can estimate efficiently

Abstract: In order to resolve the problem of track-to-track association in a distributed multisensor situation, this paper presents independent and dependent sequential track correlation algorithms based on Singer's and Bar-Shalom's algorithms. Based on sequential track correlation algorithm, the restricted and attenuation memory track correlation algorithms and sequential classic assignment rules are proposed. In this paper, these algorithms are described in detail. Then, the track correlation mass and multivalency processing methods are discussed as well. Finally, simulations are designed to compare the correlation performance of these algorithms with that of Singer's and Bar-Shalom's algorithms. The simulation results show that the performance of these algorithms proposed here is much better than that of the classical methods under the environments of dense targets, interfering, noise, track cross, and so on. Under the above situations, their correct correlation ratio is improved about 69 percent over the classical methods

Abstract: The observability for bearings-only target motion analysis is a very important problem. The bearings-only system is to be said observable if and only if the target motion parameters can be uniquely determined by noise-free bearing measurements. The problem of unobservability for hearing-only target tracking system is discussed in this paper based on the target that travels in the 2-dimentional space with a constant acceleration. Utilizing Gramm rule and rank of matrix, a new proposition that the bearing-only locating and tracking system remains unsolvable prior to an observer maneuver is presented and proved. By proving the proposition, it is shown that for certain type of observer movement the estimation process remains unobservable, even if the target moves with a constant accelerate. The work done in this paper is a valuable study in solving the bearings-only target motion analysis.

Abstract: In this paper a blind beamforming algorithm based on a neural network is presented according to the characteristic of wireless communication signals. This method transforms the question of estimating beamformer weight vectors into the one of computing the SVD of the cross correlation matrix of array input signals and their frequency shift signals. A cross correlation neural network is introduced to compute the SVD of the cross correlation matrix so as to reduce the computational complexity and carry out the blind beamforming more efficiently. The improved cross-coupled Hebbian learning rule presented in this paper can make the weights of the neural network converge much fast. This method can restrain noise and interference. Simulation proves its correctness.

Abstract: Direction-finding cross location algorithm in multi-passive-sensor location systems is a key problem. This paper studies the problem and proposes a modified multi-dimension (S-D) assignment algorithm to solve it. In order to find the global optimal solution, calculation of cost function of all intersection points of passive sensors must be considered, so the calculation burden is heavier. The algorithm proposed in this paper uses a method of passive cross location to eliminate some false intersection points, so that the computation burden of calculating the cost function is decreased. In the meantime, with the removing of the large number of false location points, the effect of data association can be improved compared with the case of calculating the global costs. Simulation results verify the feasibility and validity of the algorithm presented in this paper.

Abstract: Since the system errors degrade the association and fusion of the tracks from different radars greatly, registration is the vital problem for the data fusion of the radar network. But the measurements are always nonlinear function of the system biases; therefore, Kalman filter is unable to be used directly two methods are proposed in this paper to solve this problem. First, we use the linear model of literature (M.P Dana, 1990), and present an extended Kalman filter. Second, a sequential Monte Carlo approach is applied to real-time estimation of the state and the system errors, this method is known as particle filtering (M.Sanjeev Arumpalam et al., 2002) also. In the end, simulation results show the effectiveness of the two methods

Abstract: In order to solve the multisensor multitarget tracking problem of the non-Gaussian nonlinear systems, the paper presents a multisensor joint probabilistic data association particle (MJPDAP) algorithm. At first, the algorithm permutes and combines the measurement from each sensor using the rule of generalized S-D assignment algorithm. Then, all of measurements in each assignment are combined into one equivalent measurement and the joint likelihood function of the equivalent measurement is calculated. Finally, the particle weight is updated and the state estimation of the fusion center is obtained, using joint probability data association (JPDA) method. In this paper, some Monte Carlo simulations are used to analyze the performance of the new method. The simulation results show the MJPDAP can effectively track multitarget in the nonlinear systems, and be of much better performance than the single-sensor joint probabilistic data association particle (SJPDAP) algorithm.

Abstract: With large detection range, working normally in the condition of electronic countermeasures, direction-finding location systems have attracted great interest of researchers. And a lot of people pay much more attention to passive location technique. But the emphasis of many researchers' work is passive location method, and the location error analysis of multiple passive sensors has received little attention until now. This paper studies the problem, and the minimum ambiguous location area is given. The relationship between the ambiguous location area and the bearing measurements of passive sensors (or the cut angle) is shown in simulation figures, and the positioning error distribution figure is also given. Some conclusions are drawn, which can be used for reference in collocating passive sensors to improve location precision

Abstract: Distributed multisensor integration methods are always proposed ignored the system errors of the sensors, which degrade the precision of the fusion greatly. In this paper we discussed the influence of the system errors to the precision of the multisensor fusion, and then presented an algorithm based on maximum likelihood model, which can implement fusion and registration altogether. Simulations show that the precision of this method is superior to the original method greatly. Since the system errors are estimated by the maximum likelihood, fusion can also be implement after registration, simulations show the precision of this method is inferior to the maximum likelihood fusion, somewhat

doi: 10.1109/WCACEM.2005.1469597
Abstract: A blind beamforming algorithm based on a neural network is presented according to the characteristic of cyclostationary signals. This method transforms the question of estimating beamformer weight vectors into the one of computing the SVD of the cross correlation matrix of array input signals and their frequency shift signals. A cross correlation neural network is introduced to compute the SVD of the cross correlation matrix so as to reduce the computational complexity and carry out the blind beamforming more efficiently. The improved cross-coupled Hebbian learning rule presented can make the weights of the neural network converge much fast. Therefore, it is more promising in the practical use. This method can restrain noise and interference. Simulation proves its correctness.

doi: 10.1109/RADAR.2005.1435875
Abstract: The reflectivity displacement method is one of the generally used methods to detect the moving target in the SAR system. However, in low signal-noise ratio (SNR) environment, it is still difficult to estimate the moving target's parameters correctly. To improve the estimating performance, wavelet transform is adopted as a further processing step to eliminate the noise of graphs obtained from the reflectivity displacement method in this paper. Simulation results demonstrate that it is effective to estimate the parameters of the moving target with the method proposed.

Abstract: Due to the different data rates of the sensors and communication delays in the radar netting, the research of the asynchronous multisensor data fusion problem is more practical than that of the synchronous one. Through discussing the sequential approach, which is the classical asynchronous multisensor data fusion algorithm, a new algorithm based on distributed computation structure is proposed. The new algorithm can meet the requirement of real-time computation of netting fusion system, and is more practical for engineering compared with the classical sequential approach. Simulation results show the validity of the presented algorithm.

Abstract: CFAR technique is widely used in radar targets detection fields. Traditional algorithm is cell averaging (CA), which can give a good detection performance in a relatively ideal environment. Recently, censoring technique is adopted to make the detector perform robustly. Ordered statistic (OS) and trimmed mean (TM) methods are proposed. TM methods treat the reference samples which participate in clutter power estimates equally, but this processing will not realize the effective estimates of clutter power. Therefore, in this paper a quasi best weighted (QBW) order statistics algorithm is presented. In special cases, QBW reduces to CA and the censored mean level detector (CMLD).

Abstract: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an active, all-weather capable system to provide the capability to map the ground with high resolution and is used in both civilian and military applications. Moving targets with respect to the stationary background cause smeared and ill-positioned images. Detection and imaging of moving targets in SAR signals are necessary. We propose the method that combined the ridges of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and Radon transform (RT) to detect moving targets. Processing steps of this method and simulated results are given in detail. Simulation results show this method can detect moving targets and estimate its parameters in noise case effectively.

Abstract: The registration problem is a prerequisite process for radar networking systems to estimate and correct systematic errors accurately. An exact maximum likelihood (EML) registration algorithm was presented in the literature (Zhou Yifeng et al, IEEE Trans. Sigpro., vol.45(6), p.1560-1572, 1997), which incorporates the effects of measurement noise. Although this algorithm is superior to some classical registration algorithms, we find its likelihood function is not exact. A novel modified maximum likelihood (MEML) registration algorithm is presented, which is superior to the EML registration algorithm, with an exact likelihood function. Finally, simulated data are used to evaluate the performance of the two algorithms.

Abstract: Considerable research has been undertaken in the field of estimation theory in relation to the navigation problem. However, most algorithms are designed for single platform. This paper presents current work on the information fusion problem for multiple platform cooperative navigation. On the basis of the scheme which combines the state prediction and the localization circle, the multiple model (MM) algorithm is introduced to calculate the pseudomeasurement and to update the navigation state. A novel MM-based cooperative localization algorithm is presented. The importance of the new approach is that the performance is greatly improved while the alignment of different localization circles is not necessary too.

Abstract: The Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD) Hough transform could effectively detect several linear-frequency modulated (LFM) signals in low signal-noise ratio (SNR) environment. However, when the energy of these LFM signals diverge greatly, it is quite difficult to detect all LFM signals with the WVD-Hough transform at the same time, because the platform of strong signals will cover weak signals. All LFM signals can be detected with the "CLEAN" technique, but this solution can only be achieved at the cost of a large increase in computational load. In this paper, a signal detection method based on WVD and binary integration in Hough transform parameter space is proposed according to the WVD-Hough transform. Using this method, strong signals as well as the weak signals covered by the strong signals could be detected simultaneously. It means that this method has high practicable value. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of this method.

doi: 10.1109/AERO.2004.1367980
Abstract: This work presents a new CFAR detector with greatest of selection based on best linear unbiased method (BLUGO-CFAR). This CFAR detector has the ability of CFAR algorithms with greatest of selection to control the rise of false alarm rate at clutter edge, it also has the advantage of CFAR algorithms based on order statistics in multiple targets situation. The analytic results show that the performance of BLUGO is evidently superior to that of OSGO both in homogeneous background and in multiple targets situations, resulting by an increase in the number of order statistics to estimate the noise power level. Since the reference window is split into two sub-windows, the sample sorting time is reduced as half as that of OS. If Ml=M2=0, Nl=N2=0, BLUGO reduces to GO, if M1=N1=O, BLUGO reduces to MX-CMLD.

Abstract: Wavelets with their multiresolution property, have been proved to be effective in the integrating of the coarse features and finer resolution details of source images to produce a good fused image. The theory of rough sets has emerged as a major mathematical approach for managing uncertainty that arises from inexact, noisy, or incomplete information. Image fusion algorithm using rough sets and wavelet analysis is proposed in this paper. Multifocus images are enhanced using rough sets, then fused them using Db4 wavelet. The proposed fusion scheme is examined on images which are contaminated by salt-pepper noise. Entropy is used to evaluate image quality. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the image fusion algorithm.

Abstract: The registration problem is a prerequisite process for radar networking systems to estimate and correct systematic errors accurately. Some classical registration algorithms are all based on stereographic projection, which introduces errors to the registration of the long distance sensors. We present a generalized least squares registration algorithm (ECEF-GLS) in an Earth-centered Earth-fixed coordinate system. The new approach solves the registration between the long distance sensors, and the covariance of the estimation achieves the Cramer-Rao bound (CRLB), ignoring the errors of the linear model. Simulated data are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. Comparisons are made to the ECEF-LS algorithms proposed by Zhou.

Abstract: This work studies the multitarget passive location and tracking problem of multiple passive sensors. Since bearing only location of the multisensors will produce a lot of false intersection points in dense environments. In order to eliminate these false intersection points correctly and quickly, a two-level bearing measurement association algorithm is proposed In this work. This method firstly uses a rule to eliminate some false intersection points, so the computation burden is decreased. Then, the maximum likelihood algorithm is used to associate the bearing measurements, which can ensure the true association rate is high. Simulation is also made, and the results reveal the feasibility and validity of the bearing measurements association algorithm presented In this work, and multiple targets can be located and tracked at the same time by passive sensors.

Abstract: In order to improve the performance of OSGO or GOSGO, a CFAR algorithm based on quasi best weighted (QBW) order statistics CFAR method is proposed in this paper. The analytic results show that the performance of QBWGO is evidently superior to that of OSGO or GOSGO both in a homogeneous background and in multiple target situations. If the number of interfering targets is 4, the CFAR loss of QBWGO is 4.659, the CFAR loss of OSGO is 5.357, and an improvement of nearly 1 dB by QBWGO is obtained. In the special case of M/sub 1/=M/sub 2/=0, N/sub 1/=N/sub 2/=0, QBWGO reduces to GO, and in the case of M/sub 1/=N/sub 1/=0, QBWGO reduces to MX-CMLD.

Abstract: Since the OTHR background noise is too strong, the target echoes would be embedded in sea clutter and environment noise. In order to detect targets such as ships or aircrafts from radar returns, a range Doppler CFAR schemes is presented, the identical Doppler frequency resolution cells over adjacent range or azimuth resolution cells are used to form a sliding window for targets detection. Since the OTHR range resolution cells is very large and so do the azimuth resolution cells, the total number of range Doppler resolution cells that forms sliding window is limited in order to guarantee stationary. Some CFAR algorithms such as CA, CM, TM, BLU and QBW methods that are suitable for OTHR are compared and analyzed versus different total range or azimuth resolution cells number. If the total range Doppler resolution cells number is small (less than 12), CA-CFAR is preferred in order to get the good detection performance. In multiple targets situation, CM-CFAR or TM-CFAR are suggested which trims the largest samples that possibly be interfering targets.

T. Xiaoming, H. You and W. Guohong, "A new deghosting algorithm with hypothesis testing data fusion," in Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics, vol. 14, no. 2, pp. 14-19, June 2003.
Abstract: Eliminating the false intersection (deghosting) is a difficult problem in a passive cross location system. Using a decentralized decision fusion topology, a new deghosting algorithm derived from hypothesis testing theory is developed. It uses the difference between ghosts and true targets in the statistical error, which occurs between their projection angles on a deghosting sensor and is measured from a deghosting sensor, and constructs a corresponding test statistic. Under the Gaussian assumption, ghosts and true targets are decided and discriminated by Chi-square distribution. Simulation results show the feasibility of the algorithm.

doi: 10.1109/RADAR.2003.1278724
Abstract: A generalized smallest of selection CFAR (constant false alarm rate detection) algorithm (TMSO), based on the trimmed mean (TM) method, is proposed in this paper. It takes the smallest local estimation of either the leading or lagging window, which applies the trimmed mean method as a noise power estimation to set an adaptive threshold. Thus, the smallest of selection (SO), the generalized ordered statistic smallest of (GOSSO), or the ordered statistic smallest of (OSSO), is the special case of TMSO. It is shown that the performance of TMSO in homogeneous background and in multiple target situations is improved over that of GOSSO or OSSO.

Abstract: This paper proposes a multilevel quantization algorithm based on rank and applies it as local processing algorithm to the distributed CFAR (constant false alarm rate) detection with multisensors in a parallel topology. An analytical expression of its performance is derived. A comparison is made with the scheme based on local binary quantization. Result shows that even if without optimization, the new scheme also obtains obvious performance improvements over the distributed detection based on local binary quantization and optimal fusion.

doi: 10.1109/RADAR.2003.1278766
Abstract: With the deterioration of radar operation environment and the enhancement of menace to radar, the task of radar target detection becomes more complicated. Such as the detection of airplane, ship or cruise missile in over the horizon radar (OTHR), and the detection of moving targets in synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Therefore, it is necessary to make a further study of CFAR algorithms. The performance of the conventional cell averaging (CA) algorithm is the best in a homogeneous background since it uses the maximum likelihood estimate of the noise power to set the adaptive threshold. But if the interfering target is present in the reference window with a target return in the test cell, severe masking of targets appears due to increased threshold. In order to overcome this problem, the ordered statistic (OS) and the trimmed mean (TM) algorithms, using a trimmed technique, are proposed. If the reference sample number is not too big, the CFAR loss of OS and TM increase greatly. This case can usually be encountered in a complicated environment and lower SNR situation. In this paper, a weighted window techniques such as rectangle, stepped and trapezium windows are discussed. The analysis results show that the weighted window technique can greatly improve in a homogeneous background and obtain an immune ability to interfering targets to some extent.

doi: 10.1109/ICOSP.2002.1180068
Abstract: For target movement without velocity information in a passive coherent location system, the unknown Doppler shift between the direct signal and the target echo results in a decrease of the highest peak output value and the occurrence of some false peaks. Several Doppler compensation methods are compared in terms of the Doppler decorrelation loss factor. The Doppler decorrelation loss from the different inherent correlation times of signals and the different overlap times in the cross-correlator is analyzed. Simultaneously, the rationality of two stage processing is explained. In order to reduce the computational burden much more, an FFT pruning algorithm is introduced into segment Doppler compensation. The results of simulations are in close agreement with theory predictions.

Abstract: Multitarget tracking with bearings only measurements of two passive sensors is a very important problem, which has not been solved. To counter this problem a method is proposed in this paper, This method firstly used the bearing measurements of two passive sensors to estimate the initial range interval of targets, which are divided into several subintervals. At each subinterval an extended Kalman filter and a multihypothesis method are used to estimate the state of targets. At the same time the bearing measurements are associated. Combined state estimate is obtained as weighted sums of the state estimate of each subinterval. Simulation results show that through using the algorithm discussed in this paper two passive sensors can locate and track multiple targets at the same time.

doi: 10.1109/NRC.2002.999695
Abstract: The optimality in Neyman-Pearson (NP) sense in distributed CFAR detection with multisensor is discussed. Most of the existing analysis of optimization of distributed CFAR detection in the NP sense is done under the limitation of binary local decision and no communication among local processors. We find that the real optimization in the NP sense can not be realized under this limitation. If local test statistics (LTS) are used and fused, the real optimal NP test could be implemented by likelihood ratio test (LRT).

doi: 10.1109/ICR.2001.984907
Abstract: When the coordinates of the target are obtained by direction-finding location through multiple passive sensors, the associated bearing measurements must be the same time detection of these sensors. But these sensors may have different sampling intervals, and the time of these sensors beginning to receive the target signal may be also different. In this case, the first problem one must solve in direction-finding location is measurement synchronization. The paper studies this problem and proposes a method to solve it. An improved least distance method is used in this paper to eliminate the false intersection points. The methods of track initiation and maintenance in multitarget tracking are also discussed in this paper. The simulation results show that passive sensors can track multiple targets at the same time using the methods discussed in this paper

Abstract: In order to improve the tracking performance of sensors, this paper addresses the issue of optimal state estimation in a hybrid multisensor data fusion system with feedback information for similar and dissimilar synchronous sensors. In this system, part of the sensors process their data locally to produce local tracks while another part of the sensors only provide detection reports. These tracks and detection reports are communicated to a central site where track fusion and state estimation are performed. The fusion results are then returned to some sensors, so that the tracking performance of the sensors might be improved
