The first order statistical moment of the multiple target posterior distribution called the Probability Hypothesis Density which is represented by discrete samples or particles gives the expected locations of the targets. This property is used instead of the full multi-target posterior distribution as it is rcquires significantly less computation and particle tilter implementations have demonstrated lhe potential of the algorithm to be used for real-time tracking applications. In this article, an application of the Particle PHD Filler is demonstrated to track a variable number of objects in threedimensiond sonar images estimating both the number of targets and their locations. The number of targets is estimated at each iteration by computing the mass of lhe particle weights. The locations of the targets are determined by extracting peaks of the PHD which is a distinct task from the computation of the particles. Previous approaches have used the Expectation Maximisation (EM) algorithm to fit a Gaussian mixture model whose time complexity is quadratic in the number of targets which is not ideal for a real-time tracking appiication and so alternative clustering techniques are considered here. A comparison is made between the methods for the accuracy of estimation, robustness and the time taken.","PeriodicalId":120840,"journal":{"name":"Europe Oceans 2005","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121732861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of large arrays provides a high source level and increases the directivity index at emission and reception, but we show that to image complex structures, it can be interesting to limit the arrays' length and to use a less directive device.

EXPLORA 05 is a live REA demonstration organised by the French Navy in Morgat bay (close to Brest, France) using subsea remote instrumentation. The iXSea GAPS (Global Acoustic Positioning System) has been used for tracking of several vehicles. In this paper we present it and demonstrate its attractive features for MCM/REA applications including fast deployable, high accuracy, plug and play and easy to use multiple targets positioning system.

The feature vector entries are parameters obtained from a sparse, tree-based, matching pursuit decomposition of each response into Gabor atoms. The mutual distance of neighbor feature vectors is used to detect and localise main variations of the bottom geoacoustic properties and eventually isolate subareas of moderate variability.
