The audio data base includes recordings in different seasons, recordings at various sensor locations and also recordings using different microphones. A support vector machine (SVM) is used to classify vehicles from normalized, low-frequency spectral features of short time chunks of the audio signals. The classification performance using individual time chunks is estimated, as well as the accuracy of fusing data from the different microphones in the network. The study shows that, combining temporal and spatial data, a vehicle traversing a microphone network can be correctly classified in up to 90 percent of all runs. A more demanding test, classifying data from a totally independent measurement equipment, yields 70 percent correct classifications","PeriodicalId":248061,"journal":{"name":"2006 9th International Conference on Information Fusion","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131331565","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}

JPDA* is an extension of JPDA which avoids coalescence by pruning specific permutation hypotheses prior to hypothesis merging.

In particular, it has been discovered that the PHD filter has a closed form solution under linear Gaussian assumptions on the target dynamics and birth. This finding opens up a new direction where the PHD filter can be practically implemented in an effective and reliable fashion. However, the previous work is not general enough to handle jump Markov systems (JMS), a popular approach to modeling maneuvering targets. In this paper, a closed form solution for the PHD filter with linear JMS is derived. Our simulations demonstrate that the proposed PHD filtering algorithm provides promising performance. In particular, the algorithm is capable of tracking multiple maneuvering targets that cross each other","PeriodicalId":248061,"journal":{"name":"2006 9th International Conference on Information Fusion","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128332215","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}

PMHT is linear in the number of targets and the number of measurements; moreover, it is guaranteed to converge to locally optimal state estimates. However, it violates the rule that no target can be assigned more than one measurement. This hereby leads to a plethora of local maxima that cause performance problems. These problems are greatly reduced by applying the PMHT method to multi-frame data sequences, that is, to the set of all possible measurement sequences in the last L scans. The blend of PMHT and limited enumeration reduces the mismatch induced by violating the \"at most one measurement per target\" rule. Two new PMHT algorithms are presented.
