IEEE 802.11a is a standard for the high-speed wireless local area network (WLAN), supporting from 6 up to 54 Mbps in a 5 GHz band. We propose a channel equalization algerian and a sampling clock recovery algorithm by utilizing the Viterbi decoder output of the IEEE 802.11a WLAN standard. The proposed channel equalizer adaptively compensates channel variations. The proposed system uses re-encoded Viterbi decoder outputs as reference symbols for the adaptation of the channel equalizer. It also extracts sampling phase information with the Viterbi decoder outputs for fine adjustment of the sampling clock. The proposed sampling clock recovery and equalizer are more robust to noise and frequency selective fading environments than conventional systems using only four pilot samples.

For the target tracking in cluttered environment using a bistatic sonar whose transmitter and receiver are separately positioned, it is necessary to use data association algorithm via applying a proper measurement modelling to the bistatic sonar. The measurements obtained from the interval of ownship's maneuver have an increased error due to uncertainty of the position of transmitter and receiver. Using the measurements from this interval results in poor target tracking performance. In this paper, an improved tracking performance for the proposed data association based multiple model algorithm is validated by a monte carlo simulation.

In this paper we proposed a combined active contour model and motion estimation-based object tracking technique. After assigning the initial contour, we find the object's boundary and update the initial contour by using object's motion information. In the following frames, similar snake algorithm is repeated to make continuously estimated object's region. The snake algerian plays a role in separating the object from background, while motion estimation provides object's moving direction and displacement. The proposed algorithm provides equivalently stable, robust, tracking performance with significantly reduced amount of computation, compared with the existing shape model-based algorithms.

This paper propose new sound localization algorithm that detects the sound source bearing in a closed office environment using two microphone array. The proposed Subband CPSP (Cross Power Spectrum Phase) algorithm is a development of previously Down CPSP method using subband approach. It first split the received microphone signals into subbands and then calculates subband CPSP which result in possible source bearings. This type of algorithm, Subband CPSP, can provide more robust and reliable sound localization system because it limits the effects of environmental noise within each subband. To verify the performance of the proposed Subband CPSP algorithm, a real time simulation was conducted and it was compared with previous CPSP method. From the simulation results, the proposed Subband CPSP is superior to previous CPSP algorithm more than 5％ average accuracy for sound source detection.

Atmospheric Motion Vector (AMV) from satellite images have shown Slow Speed Bias (SSB) in comparison with rawinsonde. The causes of SSB are originated from tracking, selection, and height assignment error, which is known to be the leading error. However, recent works have shown that height assignment error cannot be fully explained the cause of SSB. This paper attempts a new approach to examine the possibility of SSB reduction of COMS AMV by using a new target tracking algorithm. Tracking error can be caused by averaging of various wind patterns within a target and changing of cloud shape in searching process over time. To overcome this problem, Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) has been adopted to extract the coldest cluster as target since the shape of such target is less subject to transformation. Then, an image filtering scheme is applied to weigh more on the selected coldest pixels than the other, which makes it easy to track the target. When AMV derived from our algorithm with sum of squared distance method and current COMS are compared with rawindsonde, our products show noticeable improvement over COMS products in mean wind speed by an increase of $2.7ms^{-1}$ and SSB reduction by 29%. However, the statistics regarding the bias show negative impact for mid/low level with our algorithm, and the number of vectors are reduced by 40% relative to COMS. Therefore, further study is required to improve accuracy for mid/low level winds and increase the number of AMV vectors.

This paper describes the implementation of a robust speaker position location system using the voice signal received by microphone array. To be robust to the reverberation which is the major factor of the performance degradation, low-frequency phase restoration algorithm which eliminates the influence of reverberations using the low-frequency information of the CPSP function is proposed. The implemented real-time system consists of a general purpose DSP (TMS320C31 of Texas instruments), analog part which contains amplifiers and filters, and digital part which is composed of the external memory and 12-bit A/D converter. In the real conference room environment, the implemented system that was constructed by the proposed algorithms showed better performance than the conventional system. The error of the TDOA estimation reduced more than 15 samples.

This paper proposes a real-time algorithm for tracking the fast moving human body. Although Iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm is suitable for real-time tracking due to its efficiency and low computational complexity, ICP often fails to converge when the human body moves fast because the closest point may be mistakenly selected and trapped in a local minimum. To overcome such limitation, we combine a particle filter based on a motion history information with the ICP. The proposed human body motion tracking algorithm reduces the search space for each limb by employing a hierarchical tree structure, and enables tracking of the fast moving human bodies by using the motion prediction based on the motion history. Experimental results show that the proposed human body motion tracking provides accurate tracking performance and fast convergence rate.

In multi-vehicle tracking systems Kalman filter is generally used for tracking vehicles. Despite well known advantages of Kalman filter that presents optimality with constraints, it is difficult to track several vehicles in real time simultaneously due to a large number of computations. In this paper, we propose a multi-vehicle tracking system with an adaptive predictor that employs recursive least square algorithm which can be easily implemented for real time application on a transversal filter. The performance of the proposed tracking system is compared to one with Kalman filter using a synthetic sequential image generated by computer graphics and real sequential image taken at intersections. Simulation results show that the proposed tracking system can be applied to track vehicles in real sequential image at the rate of 30 frame/sec on a PC environments without any special hardwares.

In this paper we present an algorithm to discriminate an underwater target under track against an acoustic counter-measure(ACM) source, based on a sequential hypothesis test. The ACM source is separated from the target under track and generates, while drifting, measurements with false range and Doppler information. The purpose of the ACM is to mislead the target-tracking and to help the true target evade a pursuer. The algorithm uses as a test statistic a function of the innovation sequences from extended Kalman filters to estimate the target dynamics and the drifting position of the ACM source. Numerical experiments on various scenarios show that the proposed algorithm discriminates the target against an ACM source very fast with a high probability of success.
