In this paper, we propose a counter-countermeasure (CCM) in a crossed array tracker for efficient target tracking under countermeasures (CM) operated by a target. The proposed CCM adepts two detection bands and uses the signal distribution characteristics to discriminate between the target and the CMs. To avoid wrong detection of a target position due to missing signal pulses, it predicts current target position based on previous target position. To evaluate the performance of the proposed CCM in a crossed array tracker, we perform numerical simulations for target signal extraction and target tracking under various conditions. The simulation results show that the proposed CCM removes the CM effect well and tracks the target efficiently.

An intelligent multimode target tracking algorithm using fuzzy logic is presented. Multimode tracking represents a synergistic approach that utilizes a variety of tracking techniques(centroid, correlation, etc.) to overcome the limitations inherent in any single-mode tracker. The design challenge for this type of multimode tracker is the data fusion algorithm. designs for this algorithm are based on heuristic rather than analytical approaches. A correlation-tracking algorithm seeks to align the incoming target image with a reference in age of the target, but has a critical problem, so called drift phenomenon. In this paper we will suggest a robust correlation tracker with gradient preprocessor combined by centroid algorithm to overcome the drift problem.

This paper presents a novel discriminative visual tracking algorithm with an adaptive incremental extreme learning machine. The parameters for an adaptive incremental extreme learning machine are initialized at the first frame with a target that is manually assigned. At each frame, the training samples are collected and random Haar-like features are extracted. The proposed tracker updates the overall output weights for each frame, and the updated tracker is used to estimate the new location of the target in the next frame. The adaptive learning rate for the update of the overall output weights is estimated by using the confidence of the predicted target location at the current frame. Our experimental results indicate that the proposed tracker can manage various difficulties and can achieve better performance than other state-of-the-art trackers.

In this paper, we propose a novel tracking algorithm called slide window tracker (SWT) suitable for maneuvering target. To efficiently estimate trajectory of moving target, we adopt a sliding piecewise linear window which includes past trace information. By adjusting the window parameters, the proposed algorithm is to reduce measurement noise and to track fast maneuvering target with little computational increment as compared to ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ tracker. Throughout the computer simulations, we verify outstanding tracking performance of the SWT algorithm in noisy linear and nonlinear trajectories. Also, we show that the SWT algorithm is not sensitive to initial model parameter selection, which gives large degree of freedom in applying the SWT algorithm to unknown time-varying measurement environments.

A conventional correlation target tracker is analysed with a simple mathematical approach. And, we will propose a correlation measure with selective attentional property in order to overcome the false-peak problem of the conventional methods. Various experimental results show that the proposed correlation measure is able to reduce considerably the probability of false-peaks degraded by the correlation between background images of a reference block and a distorted and noisy sensor input image.

An improved Mean-Shift (MS) tracker called joint CB-LBWH, which uses a combined weighted-histogram scheme of CBWH (Corrected Background-Weighted Histogram) and LBWH (likelihood-based Background-Weighted Histogram), is presented. Joint CB-LBWH is based on the notion that target representation employs both feature saliency and confidence to form a compound weighted histogram criterion. As the more prominent and confident features mean more significant for tracking the target, the tuned histogram by joint CB-LBWH can reduce the interference of background in target localization effectively. Comparative experimental results show that the proposed joint CB-LBWH scheme can significantly improve the efficiency and robustness of MS tracker when heavy occlusions and complex scenes exist.

An interacting multiple model (IMM) approach which merges two hypotheses for the situations of constant speed and constant acceleration model is considered for the tracking of maneuvering target. The inflexibility of uncertainty which lies in the kinematic constraint (KC) represented by pseudomeasurement noise variance is compensated by the mixing of estimates from two model Kalman tracker: one with KC and one without KC. The numerically simulated tracking performance is compared for the "great circular like turning" trajectory maneuver by the single model tracker with constant speed KC and two model tracker which is developed in this paper.his paper.

The correlation tracker developed by John M. Fitts in 1979 is the most complex to mechanize but provides the best tracking performance in a low SNR condition. Correlation tracker would rewove the requirements for optimizing threshold and has no need to know information about the target. But if the displacement of the target is large, the tracking error of the correlation tracker tends to diverge. In this paper, we suggest a precision image tracking algorithm which improves the tracking performance via iterative application of the matched filter estimation algorithm.

Conventional target tracking techniques are primarily based on Kalman filtering or probabilistic data association(PDA). But it is difficult to perform well under a high cluttered tracking environment because of the difficulty of measurement, the problem of mathematical simplification and the difficulty of combined target detection for tracking association problem. This paper deals with an analysis of target tracking problem using fuzzy-logic theory, and determines fuzzy rules used by a fuzzy tracker, and designs the fuzzy tracker by using fuzzy rules and Kalman filtering.

Infrared (IR) seeker identifies the location of a target by detecting the infrared energy radiated from the target, and enables the missile to track the target. To improve the tracking performance, a counter- countermeasure (CCM) is essential to minimize the effect of the countermeasure (CM), which is operated by a target to protect itself. In this paper, we propose a crossed array tracker (CAT) using two-color CCM algorithm. The CAT using the proposed algorithm shows better tracking performance by minimizing the effect of CM.
