Meanwhile, observed objects of camera networks are usually simplified as 2D points in previous literature. However in actual application scenes, not only cameras are always heterogeneous with different height and action radiuses, but also the observed objects are with 3D features（i.e., height）. This paper presents a sensor planning formulation addressing the efficiency enhancement of visual tracking in 3D heterogeneous camera networks that track and detect people traversing a region. The problem of sensor planning consists of three issues：（i） how to model the 3D heterogeneous cameras;（ii） how to rank the visibility, which ensures that the object of interest is visible in a camera＇s field of view;（iii） how to reconfigure the 3D viewing orientations of the cameras. This paper studies the geometric properties of 3D heterogeneous camera networks and addresses an evaluation formulation to rank the visibility of observed objects. Then a sensor planning method is proposed to improve the efficiency of visual tracking. Finally, the numerical results show that the proposed method can improve the tracking performance of the system compared to the conventional strategies.展开更多

The key issue is the semantic composability. Currently there is no feasible approach to realize the effective semantic representation and composition of simulation components. Based on domain knowledge and Web Ontology Language (OWL), this paper proposes a composable simulation framework, which includes conceptual model semantics, model components semantics, model framework semantics, and simulation scenario semantics. Additionally, all the semantics are utilized in the model components development process, the simulation system development process, and the simulation system execution process respectively. The consistency checking among those semantics is also proposed. The detailed mapping processes between different semantic models can help to build the domain ontology driven composable simulation system.展开更多

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of HLA evolved modular FOM. In particular, related concepts, the overall impact on HLA standards, extension principles, and merging processes are discussed. Also permitted and restricted combinations, and merging rules are provided, and the influence on HLA interface specification is given. The comparison between modular FOM and base object model （BOM） is performed to illustrate the importance of their combination. The applications of modular FOM are summarized.
