Unfortunat...Response prediction is a fundamental yet challenging task in aeronautical engineering,requiring an accurate selection of sensor positions correlated with the target responses to achieve precise predictions. Unfortunately, in large-scale structures, the rigorous selection of reliable sensor candidates for multi-target responses remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we propose a flexible and generalized framework for selecting the most relevant sensors to the multi-target response and predicting the target response, referred to as the Fast-aware Multi-Target Response Prediction(FMTRP) approach in the spirit of divide-and-conquer. Specifically, first, a multi-task learning module is designed to predict multi-point response tasks at the same time. Simultaneously, we meticulously devise adaptive mechanisms to facilitate loss-term reweighting and encourage prioritization of challenging tasks in multiple prediction tasks. Second, to ensure ease of interpretation,we introduce a hybrid penalty to select sensors at the group-sparsity, individual-sparsity and element-sparsity levels. Finally, due to the substantial number of candidate sensors posing a significant computational burden, we develop a more efficient search strategy and support computation to make the proposed approach applicable in practice, leading to substantial runtime improvements. Extensive experiments on aircraft standard model response datasets and large airliner test flight datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in identifying sensor locations and simultaneously predicting responses at multiple points. Compared to state-of-the-art methods,the proposed approach achieves an accuracy of over 99% in sinusoidal excitation and exhibits the shortest runtime(3.514 s).展开更多

However, accurately locating multiple targets and separating their vital sign signals remains a challenging research topic. This paper proposes a scene-differentiated method for multi-target localization and vital sign monitoring. The approach identifies the relative positions of multiple targets using Range FFT and determines the directions of targets via the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. Phase signals within the range bins corresponding to the targets are separated using bandpass filtering. If multiple targets reside in the same range bin, the variational mode decomposition (VMD) algorithm is employed to decompose their breathing or heartbeat signals. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method accurately localizes targets. When multiple targets occupy the same range bin, the mean absolute error (MAE) for respiratory signals is 3 bpm, and the MAE for heartbeat signals is 5 bpm.展开更多

Although the joint propagation of the intensity and the cardinality distribution in the CPHD filter process allows for more reliable estimation of the cardinality(target number) than the PHD filter, tracking loss may occur when noise and clutter are high in the measurements in a practical situation. For that reason, the cardinality compensation process is included in the CPHD filter, which is based on information fusion step using estimated cardinality obtained from the CPHD filter and measured cardinality obtained through data clustering. Here, the ICF is used for information fusion. To verify the performance of the proposed method, simulations were carried out and it was confirmed that the tracking performance of the multi-target was improved because the cardinality was estimated more accurately as compared to the existing techniques.展开更多

The static part of data association uses one FGA to determine both the lists ofcomposite measurements and the solutions of m-best S-D assignment. In the dynamic part of dataassociation, the results of the m-best S-D assignment are then used in turn, with a Kalman filterstate estimator, in a multi-population FGA-based dynamic 2D assignment algorithm to estimate thestates of the moving targets over time. Such an assignment-based data association algorithm isdemonstrated on a simulated passive sensor track formation and maintenance problem. The simulationresults show its feasibility in multi-sensor multi-target tracking. Moreover, algorithm developmentand real-time problems are briefly discussed.展开更多

The conventional association-based multi-target tracking(MTT) methods suffer from high computational complexity and limited usage in the presence of MRFT jamming.In order to solve the above problems, an efficient and adaptable probability hypothesis density(PHD) filter is proposed. Based on the gating strategy, the obtained measurements are firstly classified into the generalized newborn target and the existing target measurements. The two categories of measurements are independently used in the decomposed form of the PHD filter. Meanwhile,an amplitude feature is used to suppress the dense clutter. In addition, an MRFT jamming suppression algorithm is introduced to the filter. Target amplitude information and phase quantization information are jointly used to deal with MRFT jamming and the clutter by modifying the particle weights of the generalized newborn targets. Simulations demonstrate the proposed algorithm can obtain superior correct discrimination rate of MRFT, and high-accuracy tracking performance with high computational efficiency in the presence of MRFT jamming in the dense clutter.展开更多

First, this problem is formulated as a variant of the traveling salesman problem （TSP）, called the dynamic-constrained TSP with neighborhoods （DCT- SPN）. Then, a hierarchical hybrid approach, which partitions the planning algorithm into a roadmap planning layer and an optimal control layer, is proposed to solve the DCTSPN. In the roadmap planning layer, a novel algorithm based on an updatable proba- bilistic roadmap （PRM） is presented, which operates by randomly sampling a finite set of vehicle states from continuous state space in order to reduce the complicated trajectory planning problem to planning on a finite directed graph. In the optimal control layer, a collision-free state-to-state trajectory planner based on the Gauss pseudospectral method is developed, which can generate both dynamically feasible and optimal flight trajectories. The entire process of solving a DCTSPN consists of two phases. First, in the offline preprocessing phase, the algorithm constructs a PRM, and then converts the original problem into a standard asymmet- ric TSP （ATSP）. Second, in the online querying phase, the costs of directed edges in PRM are updated first, and a fast heuristic searching algorithm is then used to solve the ATSP. Numerical experiments indicate that the algorithm proposed in this paper can generate both feasible and near-optimal solutions quickly for online purposes.展开更多

State-of-the-art algorithms for calculating the relative pose between two images ...This paper introduces a new algorithm for estimating the relative pose of a moving camera using consecutive frames of a video sequence. State-of-the-art algorithms for calculating the relative pose between two images use matching features to estimate the essential matrix. The essential matrix is then decomposed into the relative rotation and normalized translation between frames. To be robust to noise and feature match outliers, these methods generate a large number of essential matrix hypotheses from randomly selected minimal subsets of feature pairs, and then score these hypotheses on all feature pairs. Alternatively, the algorithm introduced in this paper calculates relative pose hypotheses by directly optimizing the rotation and normalized translation between frames, rather than calculating the essential matrix and then performing the decomposition. The resulting algorithm improves computation time by an order of magnitude. If an inertial measurement unit(IMU) is available, it is used to seed the optimizer, and in addition, we reuse the best hypothesis at each iteration to seed the optimizer thereby reducing the number of relative pose hypotheses that must be generated and scored. These advantages greatly speed up performance and enable the algorithm to run in real-time on low cost embedded hardware. We show application of our algorithm to visual multi-target tracking(MTT) in the presence of parallax and demonstrate its real-time performance on a 640 × 480 video sequence captured on a UAV.

文摘Multi-target regression is concerned with the simultaneous prediction of multiple continuous target variables based on the same set of input variables.It has received relatively small attention from the Machine Learning community.However,multi-target regression exists in many real-world applications.In this paper we conduct extensive experiments to investigate the performance of three representative multi-target regression learning algorithms(i.e.Multi-Target Stacking(MTS),Random Linear Target Combination(RLTC),and Multi-Objective Random Forest(MORF)),comparing the baseline single-target learning.Our experimental results show that all three multi-target regression learning algorithms do improve the performance of the single-target learning.Among them,MTS performs the best,followed by RLTC,followed by MORF.However,the single-target learning sometimes still performs very well,even the best.This analysis sheds the light on multi-target regression learning and indicates that the single-target learning is a competitive baseline for multi-target regression learning on multi-target domains.

文摘In this paper, a cardinality compensation method based on Information-weighted Consensus Filter(ICF) using data clustering is proposed in order to accurately estimate the cardinality of the Cardinalized Probability Hypothesis Density(CPHD) filter. Although the joint propagation of the intensity and the cardinality distribution in the CPHD filter process allows for more reliable estimation of the cardinality(target number) than the PHD filter, tracking loss may occur when noise and clutter are high in the measurements in a practical situation. For that reason, the cardinality compensation process is included in the CPHD filter, which is based on information fusion step using estimated cardinality obtained from the CPHD filter and measured cardinality obtained through data clustering. Here, the ICF is used for information fusion. To verify the performance of the proposed method, simulations were carried out and it was confirmed that the tracking performance of the multi-target was improved because the cardinality was estimated more accurately as compared to the existing techniques.
文摘A novel data association algorithm is developed based on fuzzy geneticalgorithms (FGAs). The static part of data association uses one FGA to determine both the lists ofcomposite measurements and the solutions of m-best S-D assignment. In the dynamic part of dataassociation, the results of the m-best S-D assignment are then used in turn, with a Kalman filterstate estimator, in a multi-population FGA-based dynamic 2D assignment algorithm to estimate thestates of the moving targets over time. Such an assignment-based data association algorithm isdemonstrated on a simulated passive sensor track formation and maintenance problem. The simulationresults show its feasibility in multi-sensor multi-target tracking. Moreover, algorithm developmentand real-time problems are briefly discussed.

文摘Cancer is a complex disease associated with multiple gene mutations and malignant phenotypes,and multi-target drugs provide a promising therapy idea for the treatment of cancer.Natural products with abundant chemical structure types and rich pharmacological characteristics could be ideal sources for screening multi-target antineoplastic drugs.In this paper,50 tumor-related targets were collected by searching the Therapeutic Target Database and Thomson Reuters Integrity database,and a multi-target anti-cancer prediction system based on mt-QSAR models was constructed by using naïve Bayesian and recursive partitioning algorithm for the first time.Through the multi-target anti-cancer prediction system,some dominant fragments that act on multiple tumor-related targets were analyzed,which could be helpful in designing multi-target anti-cancer drugs.Anti-cancer traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and its natural products were collected to form a TCM formula-based natural products library,and the potential targets of the natural products in the library were predicted by multi-target anti-cancer prediction system.As a result,alkaloids,flavonoids and terpenoids were predicted to act on multiple tumor-related targets.The predicted targets of some representative compounds were verified according to literature review and most of the selected natural compounds were found to exert certain anti-cancer activity in vitro biological experiments.In conclusion,the multi-target anti-cancer prediction system is very effective and reliable,and it could be further used for elucidating the functional mechanism of anti-cancer TCM formula and screening for multi-target anti-cancer drugs.The anti-cancer natural compounds found in this paper will lay important information for further study.

文摘Multi-target tracking(MTT) is a research hotspot of wireless sensor networks at present.A self-organized dynamic cluster task allocation scheme is used to implement collaborative task allocation for MTT in WSN and a special cluster member(CM) node selection method is put forward in the scheme.An energy efficiency model was proposed under consideration of both energy consumption and remaining energy balance in the network.A tracking accuracy model based on area-sum principle was also presented through analyzing the localization accuracy of triangulation.Then,the two models mentioned above were combined to establish dynamic cluster member selection model for MTT where a comprehensive performance index function was designed to guide the CM node selection.This selection was fulfilled using genetic algorithm.Simulation results show that this method keeps both energy efficiency and tracking quality in optimal state,and also indicate the validity of genetic algorithm in implementing CM node selection.

文摘Multi-range-false-target(MRFT) jamming is particularly challenging for tracking radar due to the dense clutter and the repeated multiple false targets. The conventional association-based multi-target tracking(MTT) methods suffer from high computational complexity and limited usage in the presence of MRFT jamming.In order to solve the above problems, an efficient and adaptable probability hypothesis density(PHD) filter is proposed. Based on the gating strategy, the obtained measurements are firstly classified into the generalized newborn target and the existing target measurements. The two categories of measurements are independently used in the decomposed form of the PHD filter. Meanwhile,an amplitude feature is used to suppress the dense clutter. In addition, an MRFT jamming suppression algorithm is introduced to the filter. Target amplitude information and phase quantization information are jointly used to deal with MRFT jamming and the clutter by modifying the particle weights of the generalized newborn targets. Simulations demonstrate the proposed algorithm can obtain superior correct discrimination rate of MRFT, and high-accuracy tracking performance with high computational efficiency in the presence of MRFT jamming in the dense clutter.
文摘This paper considers the problem of generating a flight trajectory for a single fixed-wing unmanned combat aerial vehicle （UCAV） performing an air-to-surface multi-target attack （A/SMTA） mission using satellite-guided bombs. First, this problem is formulated as a variant of the traveling salesman problem （TSP）, called the dynamic-constrained TSP with neighborhoods （DCT- SPN）. Then, a hierarchical hybrid approach, which partitions the planning algorithm into a roadmap planning layer and an optimal control layer, is proposed to solve the DCTSPN. In the roadmap planning layer, a novel algorithm based on an updatable proba- bilistic roadmap （PRM） is presented, which operates by randomly sampling a finite set of vehicle states from continuous state space in order to reduce the complicated trajectory planning problem to planning on a finite directed graph. In the optimal control layer, a collision-free state-to-state trajectory planner based on the Gauss pseudospectral method is developed, which can generate both dynamically feasible and optimal flight trajectories. The entire process of solving a DCTSPN consists of two phases. First, in the offline preprocessing phase, the algorithm constructs a PRM, and then converts the original problem into a standard asymmet- ric TSP （ATSP）. Second, in the online querying phase, the costs of directed edges in PRM are updated first, and a fast heuristic searching algorithm is then used to solve the ATSP. Numerical experiments indicate that the algorithm proposed in this paper can generate both feasible and near-optimal solutions quickly for online purposes.
文摘In the multi-target localization based on Compressed Sensing(CS),the sensing matrix's characteristic is significant to the localization accuracy.To improve the CS-based localization approach's performance,we propose a sensing matrix optimization method in this paper,which considers the optimization under the guidance of the t%-averaged mutual coherence.First,we study sensing matrix optimization and model it as a constrained combinatorial optimization problem.Second,the t%-averaged mutual coherence is adopted as the optimality index to evaluate the quality of different sensing matrixes,where the threshold t is derived through the K-means clustering.With the settled optimality index,a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm named Genetic Algorithm-Tabu Local Search(GA-TLS)is proposed to address the combinatorial optimization problem to obtain the final optimized sensing matrix.Extensive simulation results reveal that the CS localization approaches using different recovery algorithms benefit from the proposed sensing matrix optimization method,with much less localization error compared to the traditional sensing matrix optimization methods.

文摘This paper introduces a new algorithm for estimating the relative pose of a moving camera using consecutive frames of a video sequence. State-of-the-art algorithms for calculating the relative pose between two images use matching features to estimate the essential matrix. The essential matrix is then decomposed into the relative rotation and normalized translation between frames. To be robust to noise and feature match outliers, these methods generate a large number of essential matrix hypotheses from randomly selected minimal subsets of feature pairs, and then score these hypotheses on all feature pairs. Alternatively, the algorithm introduced in this paper calculates relative pose hypotheses by directly optimizing the rotation and normalized translation between frames, rather than calculating the essential matrix and then performing the decomposition. The resulting algorithm improves computation time by an order of magnitude. If an inertial measurement unit(IMU) is available, it is used to seed the optimizer, and in addition, we reuse the best hypothesis at each iteration to seed the optimizer thereby reducing the number of relative pose hypotheses that must be generated and scored. These advantages greatly speed up performance and enable the algorithm to run in real-time on low cost embedded hardware. We show application of our algorithm to visual multi-target tracking(MTT) in the presence of parallax and demonstrate its real-time performance on a 640 × 480 video sequence captured on a UAV.

文摘Multi-target tracking is facing the difficulties of modeling uncertain motion and observation noise.Traditional tracking algorithms are limited by specific models and priors that may mismatch a real-world scenario.In this paper,considering the model-free purpose,we present an online Multi-Target Intelligent Tracking(MTIT)algorithm based on a Deep Long-Short Term Memory(DLSTM)network for complex tracking requirements,named the MTIT-DLSTM algorithm.Firstly,to distinguish trajectories and concatenate the tracking task in a time sequence,we define a target tuple set that is the labeled Random Finite Set(RFS).Then,prediction and update blocks based on the DLSTM network are constructed to predict and estimate the state of targets,respectively.Further,the prediction block can learn the movement trend from the historical state sequence,while the update block can capture the noise characteristic from the historical measurement sequence.Finally,a data association scheme based on Hungarian algorithm and the heuristic track management strategy are employed to assign measurements to targets and adapt births and deaths.Experimental results manifest that,compared with the existing tracking algorithms,our proposed MTIT-DLSTM algorithm can improve effectively the accuracy and robustness in estimating the state of targets appearing at random positions,and be applied to linear and nonlinear multi-target tracking scenarios.
