This makes it possible to use low-cost sensor networks which cannot provide accurate azimuth information to replace large antennas for target tracking and other applications. Firstly, the time evolving equation of target range is formulated. The sub-state vector is constructed by range, Doppler and the derivative of the product of range and Doppler with respect to time. The sub-state equation corresponding to the nearly constant velocity (NCV) motion is derived by explicit substitutions according to the relationship between sub-state and Cartesian states. Then the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is employed to extract the sub-state from range-only measurements. The filter initialization is derived by two-point differencing method. At last, the performance of the proposed method is compared against the posterior Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (PCRLB) for filtering in sub-state space and the existing method with approximate model in the numerical simulations. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":419881,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124783781","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}

Here, a generalized framework for obstacle intent inference is introduced. Different obstacle intentions are then considered in the Probabilistic Scenario-Based Model Predictive Control (PSB-MPC) COLAV algorithm using an examplatory intent model, when statistics about traffic rules compliance and the next waypoint for an obstacle are assumed known. Simulation results show that the resulting COLAV system is able to make safer decisions when utilizing the extra intent information.","PeriodicalId":419881,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121980364","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}

However, targets might follow specific behavioural patterns based on, e.g., their origin or destination, therefore time dependencies become highly relevant. In this article, the recently developed Mnemonic Kalman Filter is analysed which predicts the full Gaussian density of a target based on its previous position using a recurrent neural network with Long Short-Term Memory. For comparison, a simpler Long Short-Term Memory Kalman Filter is introduced which only provides a prediction of the target state vector. The presented experiments suggest that the learning-based approaches are highly relevant for time-dependent scenarios with low detection rates or possible occlusions. Furthermore, uncertainty estimation plays an important role in the filtering process.","PeriodicalId":419881,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"23 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120864188","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}

These measurement error covariances are used to form a Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) on the bias estimation variance as a function of sensor and target geometries. It is shown that highly accurate estimates of bias can be produced using a single sensor, even if the kinematic state estimate of the target is poor.","PeriodicalId":419881,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131511161","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}

Availability of an accurate position is critical for safe operations, but satellite-based navigation systems are vulnerable to interference, jamming, and spoofing. In this work, we propose a method for maritime navigation independent of GNSS, able to provide absolute positioning of the vessel based on marine radar scans. A measurement model is presented where a Digital Elevation Model is used to predict the output of a marine radar, given a hypothetical position. The model, as used by an on-line particle filter, is used to track the movements of a ship from real recorded data. This demonstrates the feasibility of this method for robust positioning, without the need of external positioning signals, in a maritime environment. The tracking only uses sensors commonly available on maritime vessels, and demonstrates its application using freely available elevation data.","PeriodicalId":419881,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124000725","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}

Taking into account that the deep features successfully improved computer vision performance in various fields including iris recognition, it is natural to use features extracted from deep neural networks for iris PAD. Each layer in a deep learning network carries features of different level of abstraction. The features extracted from the first layer to the higher layers become more complex and more abstract. This might point our complementary information in these features that can collaborate towards an accurate PAD decision. Therefore, we propose an iris PAD solution based on multi-layer fusion. The information extracted from the last several convolutional layers are fused on two levels, feature-level and score-level. We demonstrated experiments on both, off-the-shelf pre-trained network and network trained from scratch. An extensive experiment also explores the complementary between different layer combinations of deep features. Our experimental results show that feature-level based multi-layer fusion method performs better than the best single layer feature extractor in most cases. In addition, our fusion results achieve similar or better results than the state-of-the-art algorithms on the Notre Dame and IIITD-WVU databases of the Iris Liveness Detection Competition 2017 (LivDet-Iris 2017).","PeriodicalId":419881,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124591731","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}

This research investigates a class-based approach to rainfall prediction from 1–30 days in advance. The study made regional predictions based on sequences of daily rainfall maps of the continental US, with rainfall quantized at 3 levels: light or no rain; moderate; and heavy rain. Three regions were selected, corresponding to three squares from a $5times 5$ grid covering the map area. Rainfall predictions up to 30 days ahead for these three regions were based on a support vector machine (SVM) applied to consecutive sequences of prior daily rainfall map images. The results show that predictions for corner squares in the grid were less accurate than predictions obtained by a simple untrained classifier. However, SVM predictions for a central region outperformed the other two regions, as well as the untrained classifier. We conclude that there is some evidence that SVMs applied to large-scale precipitation maps can under some conditions give useful information for predicting regional rainfall, but care must be taken to avoid pitfalls.","PeriodicalId":419881,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129147655","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}

In our approach, we apply a forward-backward smoother for objects with star-convex shapes based on the Labeled Multi-Bernoulli (LMB) Random Finite Set (RFS) and recursive Gaussian processes. We further propose to combine a robust birth policy with a backward filter to solve the conflict between robustness and completeness of tracking. Thereby, cluster candidates are evaluated based on a quality measure to only initialize objects from more reliable clusters in the forward pass. Missing states will then be recovered by the backward filter through post-processing the unassociated data after the smoothing process. Simulations and real-world experiments demonstrate superior performance of the proposed method in both cardinality and individual state estimation compared to naive LMB filter and smoother for extended objects.","PeriodicalId":419881,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116919444","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}
