Three-dimensional trajectory estimation from image position and velocity

A recursive algorithm for estimating the three-dimensional trajectory and structure of a moving rigid object in an image sequence has been previously developed by Broida, Chandrashekhar, and Chellappa [1990]. Since then, steady advances have occurred in the calculation of optical flow. This work improves 3D motion trajectory and structure estimation by incorporating optical flow into the estimation framework. The new solution combines optical flow and feature point measurements and determines their statistical relationship. The feasibility of a hybrid feature point/optical flow algorithm, demonstrated through detailed simulation on synthetic and real image sequences, significantly lowers bias and mean squared error in trajectory estimation over the feature-based approach.

Spatio-temporal pattern recognition using hidden Markov models

A spatio-temporal method for identifying objects contained in an image sequence is presented. The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) technique is used as the classification algorithm, making classification decisions based on a spatio-temporal sequence of observed object features. A five class problem is considered. Classification accuracies of 100% and 99.7%, are obtained for sequences of images generated over two separate regions of viewing positions. HMMs trained on image sequences of the objects moving in opposite directions showed a 98.1% successful classification rate by class and direction of movement. The HMM technique proved robust to image corruption with additive correlated noise and had a higher accuracy than a single-look nearest neighbor method. A real image sequence of one of the objects used was successfully recognized with the HMMs trained on synthetic data. This study shows the temporal changes that observed feature vectors undergo due to object motion hold information that can yield superior classification accuracy when compared with single-frame techniques     

Recursive 3-D motion estimation from a monocular image sequence

Consideration is given to the design and application of a recursive algorithm to a sequence of images of a moving object to estimate both its structure and kinematics. The object is assumed to be rigid, and its motion is assumed to be smooth in the sense that it can be modeled by retaining an arbitrary number of terms in the appropriate Taylor series expansions. Translational motion involves a standard rectilinear model, while rotational motion is described with quaternions. Neglected terms of the Taylor series are modeled as process noise. A state-space model is constructed, incorporating both kinematic and structural states, and recursive techniques are used to estimate the state vector as a function of time. A set of object match points is assumed to be available. The problem is formulated as a parameter estimation and tracking problem which can use an arbitrarily large number of images in a sequence. The recursive estimation is done using an iterated extended Kalman filter (IEKF), initialized with the output of a batch algorithm run on the first few frames. Approximate Cramer-Rao lower bounds on the error covariance of the batch estimate are used as the initial state estimate error covariance of the IEKF. The performance of the recursive estimator is illustrated using both real and synthetic image sequences

Parameterization and adaptive control of space robot systems

In space application, robot system are subject to unknown or unmodeled dynamics, for example, in the tasks of transporting an unknown payload or catching an unmodeled moving object. We discuss the parameterization problem in dynamic structure and adaptive control of a space robot system with an attitude-controlled base to which the robot is attached. We first derive the system kinematic and dynamic equations based on Lagrangian dynamics and the linear momentum conservation law. Based on the dynamic model developed, we discuss the problem of linear parameterization in term of dynamic parameters, and find that in joint space, the dynamics can be linearized by a set of combined dynamic parameters; however, in inertial space linear parameterization is impossible in general. Then we propose an adaptive control scheme in joint space, and present a simulation study to demonstrate its effectiveness and computational procedure. Because most takes are specified in inertial space instead of joint space, we discuss the issues associated to adaptive control in inertial space and identify two potential problem: unavailability of joint trajectory because the mapping from inertial space trajectory is dynamic-dependent and subject to uncertainty; and nonlinear parameterization in inertial space. We approach the problem by making use of the proposed joint space adaptive controller and updating the joint trajectory by the estimated dynamic parameters and given trajectory in inertial space

基于弹性网稀疏编码的空间目标识别

 传统的特征袋(BoF)模型在目标识别过程中假设每个局部特征点只关联特征词典中一个视觉单词。此外,l₁范数约束下的稀疏编码对于具有较强成对相关性的特征通常只选择一个特征,而不关注哪一个特征被选择。本文提出一种基于弹性网稀疏编码的特征袋模型。该模型利用尺度不变特征变换(SIFT)特征描述子构建特征字典,再通过弹性网回归模型求解每个描述子所对应的稀疏系数向量,最后将目标图像内的稀疏系数向量合并用于分类。与传统的特征袋模型和基于l₁范数稀疏编码的特征袋模型相比,该模型有较好的识别性能,并对视角变化具有较强的鲁棒性。在空间目标图像数据库上的实验验证了该模型的有效性。     

基于随机有限集的空间碎片群运动状态估计

Detecting small moving objects using temporal hypothesis testing

This paper addresses the problem of detecting small, moving, low amplitude objects in image sequences that also contain moving nuisance objects and background noise. We formulate this problem in the context of a hypothesis testing procedure on individual pixel temporal profiles, leading to a computationally efficient statistical test. The technique assumes we have reasonable deterministic and statistical models for the temporal behavior of the background noise, target, and clutter, on a single pixel basis. Based on these models we develop a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) and perfect measurement performance analysis, and present the resulting decision rule. We also propose a parameter estimation technique and compare its performance to the Cramer Rao bound (CRB). We demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique by applying the resulting algorithm to real world infrared (IR) image sequences containing targets of opportunity. The approach could also be applicable to other image sequence processing scenarios, using acquisition systems besides IR imaging, such as detection of small moving objects or structures in a biomedical or biological imaging scenario, or the detection of satellites, meteors or other celestial bodies in night sky imagery acquired using a telescope     

Target tracking with a network of Doppler radars

By observing a Doppler signal at several points in space, it is possible to determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of a moving target. Parameter identification for a constant-acceleration motion model is studied, and the Cramer-Rao bound on motion parameter uncertainty is obtained for phaseand frequency-based estimation strategies, with the result that the preferred strategy depends upon the sensor/target geometry and target motion. Direct identification of the constant-acceleration trajectory model from the Doppler signal requires a 9-dimensional nonlinear optimization. Exploiting symmetry in the sensing geometry, a novel trajectory representation is presented which reduces the nonlinear optimization to one in 3 dimensions, with additional parameters obtained by linear identification. Baseball tracking using a network of four Doppler radars is experimentally demonstrated

Moving scanning emitter tracking by a single observer using time of interception: Observability analysis and algorithm

The target motion analysis (TMA) for a moving scanning emitter with known fixed scan rate by a single observer using the time of interception (TOI) measurements only is investigated in this paper.By transforming the TOI of multiple scan cycles into the direction difference of arrival (DDOA) model,the observability analysis for the TMA problem is performed.Some necessary conditions for uniquely identifying the scanning emitter trajectory are obtained.This paper also proposes a weighted instrumental variable (WIV) estimator for the scanning emitter TMA,which does not require any initial solution guess and is closed-form and computationally attractive.More importantly,simulations show that the proposed algorithm can provide estimation mean square error close to the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) at moderate noise levels with significantly lower estimation bias than the conventional pseudo-linear least square (PLS) estimator.
