This paper presents a Multiple Target Tracking (MTT) Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system which consists of three parts; a multi-model-based multi-target state estimator, a primary vehicular target determination algorithm, and a single-target adaptive cruise control algorithm. Three motion models, which are validated using simulated and experimental data, are adopted to distinguish large lateral motions from longitudinally excited motions. The improvement in the state estimation performance when using three models is verified in target tracking simulations. However, the performance and safety benefits of a multi-model-based MTT-ACC system is investigated via simulations using real driving radar sensor data. The MTT-ACC system is tested under lane changing situations to examine how much the system performance is improved when multiple models are incorporated. Simulation results show system response that is more realistic and reflective of actual human driving behavior.

A vehicle cruise control algorithm using an Interacting Multiple Model (IMM)-based Multi-Target Tracking (MTT) method has been presented in this paper. The vehicle cruise control algorithm consists of three parts; track estimator using IMM-Probabilistic Data Association Filter (PDAF), a primary target vehicle determination algorithm and a single-target adaptive cruise control algorithm. Three motion models; uniform motion, lane-change motion and acceleration motion. have been adopted to distinguish large lateral motions from longitudinal motions. The models have been validated using simulated and experimental data. The improvement in the state estimation performance when using three models is verified in target tracking simulations. The performance and safety benefits of a multi-model-based MTT-ACC system is investigated via simulations using real driving radar sensor data.

In this paper, we present a new approach for automatic detection and tracking for multiple targets. We combine a highest probability data association(HPDA) algorithm for target detection with a particle filter for multiple target tracking. The proposed approach evaluates the probabilities of one-to-one assignments of measurement-to-track and the measurement with the highest probability is selected to be target- originated, and the measurement is used for probabilistic weight update of particle filtering. The performance of the proposed algorithm for target tracking in clutter is compared with the existing clustering algorithm and the sequential monte carlo method for probability hypothesis density(SMC PHD) algorithm for multi-target detection and tracking. Computer simulation studies demonstrate that the HPDA algorithm is robust in performing automatic detection and tracking for multiple targets even though the environment is hostile in terms of high clutter density and low target detection probability.

This paper introduces an adaptive algorithm determining the measurement-track association problem in multi-target tracking(MTT). We model the target and measurement relationships with mean field theory and then define a MAP estimate for the optimal association. Based on this model, we introduce an energy function defined over the measurement space, that incorporates the natural constraints for target tracking. To find the minimizer of the energy function, we derived a new adaptive algorithm by introducing the Lagrange multipliers and local dual theory. Through the experiments, we show that this algorithm is stable and works well in general environments. Also the advantages of the new algorithm over other algorithms are discussed.

A multiple target tracking (MTT) problem is to track a number of targets in clusttered environment, where measurements may contain uncertainties of measurement origin due to clutter, missed detection, or other targets, as well as measurement noise errors. Hence, an MTT filter should be introduced to resolve this problem. In this paper, a neural network is rpoposed as an MTT filter.

Military surveillance systems with electro-optical sensors can be used to track a number of targets efficiently and reliably. In MTT (Multi-Target Tracking), joint events in which different tracks share the same measurements may occur. Measurement-to-track assignment are computationally challenging because of the number of operations increases exponentially with number of tracks and number of measurements. IHPDA (Integrated Highest Probability Data Association) based on a 2D-Assignment technique can find an optimal solution for measurement to track one-to-one assignments for complex environments. In this paper, LM-IHPDA (Linear Multi-Target IHPDA) which does not need to form all feasible joint events of association and thus the computational load is linear in the number of tracks and the number of measurements. Simulation studies illustrate the effectiveness of this approach in an infrared image environment.

This paper introduced a scheme for finding the relationships between the measurements and tracks in multi-target tracking (MTT). We considered the relationships between targets and measurements as MRF and assumed a priori as a Gibbs distribution. An energy function is defined over the measurement space, as accurately as possible so that it may incorporate most of the important natural constraints. To find the minimizer of the energy function, we derived a new equation of closed form.

차량 충돌 경보용 레이더 시스템의 개발에 있어 표적 추적의 정확도와 신뢰도는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 여러 표적을 동시에 추적할 때 중요한 것은 표적과 측정치와의 데이터 연관(data association) 이며, 부적절한 측정치가 어느 표적과 연관되면 그 표적은 트랙을 벗어나 추적능력을 잃어버릴 수 있고 심지어 다른 표적의 추적에도 영향을 줄 수 있다 지금까지 발표된 대부분의 데이터 연관 필터들은 근접하여 이동하는 표적들의 경우 이와 같은 문제점을 보여왔다 따라서, 현재 개발되고 있는 많은 알고리즘들은 이러한 데이터 연 관 문제의 해결에 초점을 맞추고 있다 본 논문에서는 순서통계(order statistics)를 이용한 새로운 다중 표적의 데이터 연관 방법에 대하여 서술하고자 한다 OSPDA와 OSJPDA로 불리는 제안된 방법은 각각 PDA 필터 또는 JPDA 필터에서 계산된 연관 확률을 이용하며 이 연관 확률을 결정 논리(dicision logic)에 의한 가중치로 함수화 하여 표적과 측정치 사이에 최적 혹은 최적 근처의(near optimal) 데이터 연관이 가능하도록 한 것이다 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해, 제안한 방법은 기존의 NN 필터, PDA 필터, 그리고 JPDA 필터의 성능과 비교 분석되었으며, 그 결과 제안한 OSPDA, OSJPDA 필터는 PDA, JPDA 필터보다 추적 정확도에 대해 각각 약 18%, 19% 이상으로 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다 제안한 방법은 CAN을 통해 차량 엔진 등의 ECU와 통신하도록 개발된 DSP 보드를 이용하여 구현되었다

지능형 자동차는 주변 환경에 대한 인식을 바탕으로 동작을 계획하고 움직인다. 따라서 정확한 환경 인식은 자율 주행 자동차의 필수 요소로 여겨진다. 차량의 주행 환경은 차량이나 보행자 같은 동적인 장애물이 다수 존재하여, 안전한 동작을 위해 이런 동적 장애물에 대한 인식이 정확하게 이루어져야 한다. 이를 위해 센서의 불확실성을 극복하는 일이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 레이더 센서를 이용하여 다수의 차량을 인식하고 추적하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 추적 시스템은 몇 가지 특징을 갖는다. 레이더 센서가 차량을 계측할 때, 그 데이터가 양 모서리에서 주로 나타나는 특징을 혼합 밀도 네트워크로 표현하고, 이렇게 표현된 레이더 데이터의 확률적인 분포를 파티클 필터의 가중치 계산에 적용하여 추적 알고리즘을 수행하였다. 또한, 파티클 필터가 갖는 차원의 저주를 극복하고 시간의 흐름에 따라 그 숫자가 변화하는 다수 대상체의 상태를 예측하기 위해 가역 점프 마르코프 체인 몬테 카를로 (RJMCMC)를 통한 샘플링을 적용하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증되었다.
