Firstly, pairs of points with RPFN are detected in the difference image between neighbor frame images, with which a virtual vector graph is made, and then the moving point target can be detected by the vectors＇ sequence cumulated in vector graphs. In addition, a theorem for the convergence of detection of target contrail by this algorithm is given and proved so as to afford a solid guarantee for practical applications of the algorithm proposed in this paper. Finally, some simulation results with 1000 frames from 10 typical images in complex background show that moving point targets with SNR not lower than 1.5 can be detected effectively.展开更多

Firstly, the SPRT is developed aiming at the heuristic segments formed by correlation analysis. In order to avoid missing detection the threshold is chosen much lower. Secondly, by adding samples and choosing the one most similar to the heuristic segment to make state estimation FSS is implemented. This time we choose a higher threshold. Moreover in preprocessing the compound kernel estimation is designed to depress varying background clutter. Multiple experimental sequences validate that the method is more suitable for the dim targets detection and tracking compared with the scheme choosing the higher intensity pixel in tracking. It not only has perfect detection performance but also can greatly enhance tracking performance.展开更多

In this paper we propose a new approach in processing of the Infrared image sequence for moving dim point targets detection built on the transformation of the IR-image sequence into 4-vectors for each frame in the sequence. The results of testing the proposed approach on a set of frames having a simple single pixel target performing a different motion patterns show the validity of the approach for detecting the motion, with simplicity in calculation and low time consumption.展开更多

These three sensors have their own advantages and weaknesses, and they can complement each other in some situations. So it would improve the capability of vessel target detection to use multiple sensors including SAR, HFSWR, and A/S to identify non-cooperative vessel targets from the fusion results. During the fusion process of multiple sensors＇ detection results, point association is one of the key steps, and it can affect the accuracy of the data fusion and the efficiency of a non-cooperative target＇s recognition. This study investigated the point association analyses of vessel target detection under different conditions： space- borne SAR paired with AIS, as well as HFSWR, paired with AIS, and the characteristics of the SAR and the HFSWR and their capability of vessel target detection. Then a point association method of multiple sensors was proposed. Finally, the thresholds selection of key parameters in the points association （including range threshold, radial velocity threshold, and azimuth threshold） were investigated, and their influences on final association results were analyzed.展开更多

[Phys. Rev. Lett.113 210501(2014)] claimed that the quadratic speedup over classical algorithms has been achieved. However, in this paper, we point out that this is not the case, because the query complexity of Yoder’s algorithm is actually in O(1/λ01/2)rather than O(1/λ1/2), where λ0 is a known lower bound of λ.(ii) In terms of the trail-and-error method, currently the algorithm without randomness has to take more than 1 times queries or iterations than the algorithm with randomly selected parameters. For the above problems, we provide the first hybrid quantum search algorithm based on the fixed-point and trail-and-error methods, where the matched multiphase Grover operations are trialed multiple times and the number of iterations increases exponentially along with the number of trials. The upper bound of expected queries as well as the optimal parameters are derived. Compared with Yoder’s algorithm, the query complexity of our algorithm indeed achieves the optimal scaling in λ for quantum search, which reconfirms the practicality of the fixed-point method. In addition, our algorithm also does not contain randomness, and compared with the existing deterministic algorithm, the query complexity can be reduced by about 1/3. Our work provides a new idea for the research on fixed-point and trial-and-error quantum search.展开更多

Based on the characteristics that target and interferences as decoys and noise had different radiation intensity and radiation changing frequency, the concept of the equivalent blackbody temperature （EBT） was built and the calculation model of EBT was designed. The model could effectively reduce the interference of the space environment and fully show the radiation differences between point-target and interferences as decoys. It would be very effective in the detection of the target. In order to detect the target, the effective estimator of EBT was designed according to the observed data, and the system error and the variation range of the estimator of EBT were estimated. Finally the multi-frame estimator was designed to improve the estimation stability of EBT, and the use of this estimator would identify the point-target more effectively.展开更多

Thus, truncation errors due to linearization can be compensated. These filters include the unscented Kalman filter （UKF）, the central difference filter （CDF） and the divided difference filter （DDF）, and they are also called Sigma Point Filters （SPFs） in a unified way. For higher order approximation of the nonlinear function. Ito and Xiong introduced an algorithm called the Gauss Hermite Filter, which is revisited in [5]. The Gauss Hermite Filter gives better approximation at the expense of higher computation burden, although it＇s less than the particle filter. The Gauss Hermite Filter is used as introduced in [5] with additional pruning step by adding threshold for the weights to reduce the quadrature points.展开更多
