A kalman filter in the spherical-rectangular coordinate system to track a maneuvering target is introduced. A dynamic model with extended state vector is proposed in this paper to improve the state estimation (i.e. position, velocity and acceleration) even the sensor data(i.e. range, azimuth angle and elevation angle ) is color contaminated. The Kalman filter equations are decoupled by proper coordinate transformation and using filter gain rotation algorithm. Monto Carlo simulation is performed for different kinds of target trajectories(with the same measurement noise) and the root mean square values of estimation errors are computed. Results show that there is significant improvement in tracking capability over the methods discussed by other researchers.
A polynomial model, time origin shifting model(TOSM, is used to describe the trajectory of a moving target .Based on TOSM, a recursive laeast squares(RLS) algorithm with varied forgetting factor is derived for tracking of a non-maneuvering target. In order to apply this algorithm to maneuvering targets tracking ,a tracking signal is performed on-line to determine what kind of TOSm will be in effect to track a target with different dynamics. An effective multiple model least squares filtering and forecasting method dadpted to real tracking of a maneuvering target is formulated. The algorithm is computationally more effcient than Kalman filter and the percentage improvement from simulations show both of them are considerably alike to some extent.
There should be high resolution demand that is better than 1000 DPI(dot per inch) for high precision image scanning system. This paper introduced the two-level computer controlled system that consisted of LS-3500 film scanner, AST386/33 monitoring control level and Intel 8031 single chip computer that is used as DDC level. The formula for scanning image data processing and methods of statistic parameters calculating are described.
