Multitarget Detection and Tracking Using Multisensor Passive Acoustic Data
Chris Kreucher,Benjamin Shapo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid discrete-grid/particle approximation to the posterior with a dynamic density factorization is proposed to detect and track multiple moving targets using acoustic data from multiple passive arrays.
Multitarget detection and tracking using multi-sensor passive acoustic data

- 07 Mar 2009
TL;DR: In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed to detect and track multiple moving targets using acoustic data from multiple passive arrays. But, this approach does not address both the nonlinear sensor to target state coupling as well as the ambiguities caused by bearings-only nature of the passive regime.
An Overview of the Probability Density Function (PDF) Tracker

- 01 Sep 2006
TL;DR: The PDF tracker first entered Navy passive sonar in the Passive Tracking Algorithm (PTA) Air ASW program and has fulfilled the role of frequency line tracker (frequency versus time surface) as well as broadband (bearing vs time) tracker in various fleet systems as discussed by the authors.

PDF target detection and tracking
TL;DR: The new approach addresses the measurement uncertainty-of-origin issue by capturing all measurement input data information in the Bayesian conditional probability density function (PDF), used in the recursive propagation of the posterior target detection and tracking information PDF over time via Bayesian and Markov PDF updates.

Detection and tracking of prominent scatterers in SAR data
TL;DR: This approach to scene-derived motion compensation combines the high accuracy range history estimates with a novel three-dimensional geometric inversion that uses the range histories to estimate both 3D scatterer location and 3D relative motions of the radar.
