Using Multiple Satellites to Search for Maritime Moving Targets Based on Reinforcement Learning

Searching for maritime moving targets using satellites is an attracting but rather difficult problem due to the satellites' orbits and discontinuous visible time windows.From a long term cyclic view,a non-myopic method based on reinforcement learning(RL)for multi-pass multi-targets searching was proposed.It learnt system behaviors step by step from each observation which resulted in a dynamic progressive way.Then it decided and adjusted optimal actions in each observation opportunity.System states were indicated by expected information gain.Neural networks algorithm was used to approximate parameters of control policy.Simulation results show that our approach with sufficient training performs significantly better than other myopic approaches which make local optimal decisions for each individual observation opportunity.

Optimal search for moving targets with sensing capabilities using multiple UAVs

This paper studies the problem of using multiple unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) to search for moving targets with sensing capabilities. When multiple UAVs (multi-UAV) search for a number of moving targets in the mission area, the targets can intermittently obtain the position information of the UAVs from sensing devices, and take appropriate actions to increase the distance between themselves and the UAVs. Aiming at this problem, an environment model is established using the search map, and the updating method of the search map is extended by considering the sensing capabilities of the moving targets. A multi-UAV search path planning optimization model based on the model predictive control (MPC) method is constructed, and a hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm with a crossover operator is designed to solve the model. Simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the cooperative search efficiency and can find more targets per unit time compared with the coverage search method and the random search method.

Efficient Strip-Mode SAR Raw-Data Simulator of Extended Scenes Included Moving Targets Based on Reversion of Series

The Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)raw data generator is required to the evaluation of focusing algorithms,moving target analysis,and hardware design.The time-domain SAR simulator can generate the accurate raw data but it needs much time.The frequency-domain simulator not only increases the efficiency but also considers the trajectory deviations of the radar.In addition,the raw signal of the extended scene included static and moving targets can be generated by some frequency-domain simulators.However,the existing simulators concentrate on the raw signal simulation of the static extended scene and moving targets at uniform speed mostly.As for the issue,the two-dimensional signal spectrum of moving targets with constant acceleration can be derived accurately based on the geometric model of a side-looking SAR and reversion of series.And a frequency-domain algorithm for SAR echo signal simulation is presented based on the two-dimensional signal spectrum.The raw data generated with proposed method is verified by several simulation experiments.In addition to reveal the efficiency of the presented frequency-domain SAR scene simulator,the computational complexity of the proposed method is compared with the time-domain approach using the complex multiplication.Numerical results demonstrate that the present method can reduce the computational time significantly without accuracy loss while simulating SAR raw data.

FrFT-CSWSF: Estimating cross-range velocities of ground moving targets using multistatic synthetic aperture radar

Estimating cross-range velocity is a challenging task for space-borne synthetic aperture radar（SAR）, which is important for ground moving target indication（GMTI）. Because the velocity of a target is very small compared with that of the satellite, it is difficult to correctly estimate it using a conventional monostatic platform algorithm. To overcome this problem, a novel method employing multistatic SAR is presented in this letter. The proposed hybrid method, which is based on an extended space-time model（ESTIM） of the azimuth signal, has two steps： first, a set of finite impulse response（FIR） filter banks based on a fractional Fourier transform（FrFT） is used to separate multiple targets within a range gate; second, a cross-correlation spectrum weighted subspace fitting（CSWSF） algorithm is applied to each of the separated signals in order to estimate their respective parameters. As verified through computer simulation with the constellations of Cartwheel, Pendulum and Helix, this proposed time-frequency-subspace method effectively improves the estimation precision of the cross-range velocities of multiple targets.

A Multi Moving Target Recognition Algorithm Based on Remote Sensing Video

The Earth observation remote sensing images can display ground activities and status intuitively,which plays an important role in civil and military fields.However,the information obtained from the research only from the perspective of images is limited,so in this paper we conduct research from the perspective of video.At present,the main problems faced when using a computer to identify remote sensing images are:They are difficult to build a fixed regular model of the target due to their weak moving regularity.Additionally,the number of pixels occupied by the target is not enough for accurate detection.However,the number of moving targets is large at the same time.In this case,the main targets cannot be recognized completely.This paper studies from the perspective of Gestalt vision,transforms the problem ofmoving target detection into the problem of salient region probability,and forms a Saliency map algorithm to extract moving targets.On this basis,a convolutional neural network with global information is constructed to identify and label the target.And the experimental results show that the algorithm can extract moving targets and realize moving target recognition under many complex conditions such as target’s long-term stay and small-amplitude movement.

A spawning particle filter for defocused moving target detection in GNSS-based passive radar

Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)-based passive radar(GBPR)has been widely used in remote sensing applications.However,for moving target detection(MTD),the quadratic phase error(QPE)introduced by the non-cooperative target motion is usually difficult to be compensated,as the low power level of the GBPR echo signal renders the estimation of the Doppler rate less effective.Consequently,the moving target in GBPR image is usually defocused,which aggravates the difficulty of target detection even further.In this paper,a spawning particle filter(SPF)is proposed for defocused MTD.Firstly,the measurement model and the likelihood ratio function(LRF)of the defocused point-like target image are deduced.Then,a spawning particle set is generated for subsequent target detection,with reference to traditional particles in particle filter(PF)as their parent.After that,based on the PF estimator,the SPF algorithm and its sequential Monte Carlo(SMC)implementation are proposed with a novel amplitude estimation method to decrease the target state dimension.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed SPF is demonstrated by numerical simulations and pre-liminary experimental results,showing that the target range and Doppler can be estimated accurately.

Finally, computer simulation results validate its effectiveness. The research results are especially significant for moving targets detection and parameters estimation in squint mode SAR.

Distributed Multicircular Circumnavigation Control for UAVs with Desired Angular Spacing

This paper addresses a multicircular circumnavigation control for UAVs with desired angular spacing around a nonstationary target.By defining a coordinated error relative to neighboring angular spacing,under the premise that target information is perfectly accessible by all nodes,a centralized circular enclosing control strategy is derived for multiple UAVs connected by an undirected graph to allow for formation behaviors concerning the moving target.Besides,to avoid the requirement of target’s states being accessible for each UAV,fixed-time distributed observers are introduced to acquire the state estimates in a fixed-time sense,and the upper boundary of settling time can be determined offline irrespective of initial properties,greatly releasing the burdensome communication traffic.Then,with the aid of fixed-time distributed observers,a distributed circular circumnavigation controller is derived to force all UAVs to collaboratively evolve along the preset circles while keeping a desired angular spacing.It is inferred from Lyapunov stability that all errors are demonstrated to be convergent.Simulations are offered to verify the utility of proposed protocol.

A Novel System for Moving Object Detection Using Bionic Compound Eyes

Conventional moving target detection focuses on algorithms to improve detection efficiency. These algorithms pay less attention to the image acquisition means, and usually solve specific problems. This often results in poor flexibility and reus- ability. Insect compound eyes offer unique advantages for moving target detection and these advantages have attracted the attention of many researchers in recent years. In this paper we proposed a new system for moving target detection. We used the detection mechanism of insect compound eyes for the simulation of the characteristics of structure, control, and function. We discussed the design scheme of the system, the development of the bionic control circuit, and introduced the proposed mathe- matical model of bionic cqmpound eyes for data acquisition and object detection. After this the integrated system was described and discussed. Our paper presents a novel approach for moving target detection. This approach effectively tackles some of the well-known problems in the field of view, resolution, and real-time processing problems in moving target detection.

Path planning for moving target tracking by fixed-wing UAV

For the automatic tracking of unknown moving targets on the ground,most of the commonly used methods involve circling above the target.With such a tracking mode,there is a moving laser spot on the target,which will bring trouble for cooperative manned helicopters.In this paper,we propose a new way of tracking,where an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) circles on one side of the tracked target.A circular path algorithm is developed for monitoring the relative position between the UAV and the target considering the real-time range and the bearing angle.This can determine the center of the new circular path if the predicted range between the UAV and the target does not meet the monitoring requirements.A transition path algorithm is presented for planning the transition path between circular paths that constrain the turning radius of the UAV.The transition path algorithm can generate waypoints that meet the flight ability.In this paper,we analyze the entire method and detail the scope of applications.We formulate an observation angle as an evaluation index.A series of simulations and evaluation index comparisons verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

Improved TQWT for marine moving target detection

Under the conditions of strong sea clutter and complex moving targets,it is extremely difficult to detect moving targets in the maritime surface.This paper proposes a new algorithm named improved tunable Q-factor wavelet transform(TQWT)for moving target detection.Firstly,this paper establishes a moving target model and sparsely compensates the Doppler migration of the moving target in the fractional Fourier transform(FRFT)domain.Then,TQWT is adopted to decompose the signal based on the discrimination between the sea clutter and the target’s oscillation characteristics,using the basis pursuit denoising(BPDN)algorithm to get the wavelet coefficients.Furthermore,an energy selection method based on the optimal distribution of sub-bands energy is proposed to sparse the coefficients and reconstruct the target.Finally,experiments on the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research(CSIR)dataset indicate the performance of the proposed method and provide the basis for subsequent target detection.

Method of moving target detection based on sub-image cancellation for single-antenna airborne synthetic aperture radar

The method of moving target detection based on subimage cancellation for single-antenna airborne SAR is presented. First the subimage is obtained through frequency processing is pointed out. The imaging difference of a stationary objects and moving object in the subimage based on the frequency division is analyzed from the fundamental principle. Then the developed method combines the shear averaging algorithm to focus on the moving target in the subimage, after the clutter suppression and the focusing position in each subimage is obtained. Next the observation model and the relative movement of the moving targets between the subimages estimate the moving targets. The theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that the method is effective and can not only detect the moving targets, but also estimate their motion parameters precisely.

Application of Road Information in Ground Moving Target Tracking

A new algorithm is developed to achieve accurate state estimation in ground moving target tracking by means of using road information. It is an adaptive variable structure interacting multiple model estimator with dynamic models modification （DMM VS-IMM for short）. Firstly, road information is employed to modify the target dynamic models used by filter, including modification of state transition matrix and process noise. Secondly, road information is applied to update the model set of a VS-IMM estimator. Predicted state estimation and road information are used to locate the target in the road network on which the model set is updated and finally IMM filtering is implemented. As compared with traditional methods, the accuracy of state estimation is improved for target moving not only on a single road, but also through an intersection. Monte Carlo simulation demonstrates the efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm with moderate computational loads.

Moving target defense of routing randomization with deep reinforcement learning against eavesdropping attack

Eavesdropping attacks have become one of the most common attacks on networks because of their easy implementation. Eavesdropping attacks not only lead to transmission data leakage but also develop into other more harmful attacks. Routing randomization is a relevant research direction for moving target defense, which has been proven to be an effective method to resist eavesdropping attacks. To counter eavesdropping attacks, in this study, we analyzed the existing routing randomization methods and found that their security and usability need to be further improved. According to the characteristics of eavesdropping attacks, which are “latent and transferable”, a routing randomization defense method based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed. The proposed method realizes routing randomization on packet-level granularity using programmable switches. To improve the security and quality of service of legitimate services in networks, we use the deep deterministic policy gradient to generate random routing schemes with support from powerful network state awareness. In-band network telemetry provides real-time, accurate, and comprehensive network state awareness for the proposed method. Various experiments show that compared with other typical routing randomization defense methods, the proposed method has obvious advantages in security and usability against eavesdropping attacks.

Small tracking error correction for moving targets of intelligent electro-optical detection systems

Small tracking error correction for electro-optical systems is essential to improve the tracking precision of future mechanical and defense technology.Aerial threats,such as“low,slow,and small(LSS)”moving targets,pose increasing challenges to society.The core goal of this work is to address the issues,such as small tracking error correction and aiming control,of electro-optical detection systems by using mechatronics drive modeling,composite velocity–image stability control,and improved interpolation filter design.A tracking controller delay prediction method for moving targets is proposed based on the Euler transformation model of a two-axis,two-gimbal cantilever beam coaxial configuration.Small tracking error formation is analyzed in detail to reveal the scientific mechanism of composite control between the tracking controller’s feedback and the motor’s velocity–stability loop.An improved segmental interpolation filtering algorithm is established by combining line of sight(LOS)position correction and multivariable typical tracking fault diagnosis.Then,a platform with 2 degrees of freedom is used to test the system.An LSS moving target shooting object with a tracking distance of S=100 m,target board area of A=1 m^(2),and target linear velocity of v=5 m/s is simulated.Results show that the optimal method’s distribution probability of the tracking error in a circle with a radius of 1 mrad is 66.7%,and that of the traditional method is 41.6%.Compared with the LOS shooting accuracy of the traditional method,the LOS shooting accuracy of the optimized method is improved by 37.6%.

Influence of multi-modality on moving target selection in virtual reality

Background Owing to recent advances in virtual reality(VR)technologies,effective user interaction with dynamic content in 3D scenes has become a research hotspot.Moving target selection is a basic interactive task in which the user performance research in tasks is significant to user interface design in VR.Different from the existing static target selection studies,the moving target selection in VR is affected by the change in target speed,angle and size,and lack of research on some key factors.Methods This study designs an experimental scenario in which the users play badminton under the condition of VR.By adding seven kinds of modal clues such as vision,audio,haptics,and their combinations,five kinds of moving speed and four kinds of serving angles,and the effect of these factors on the performance and subjective feelings in moving target selection in VR,is studied.Results The results show that the moving speed of the shuttlecock has a significant impact on the user performance.The angle of service has a significant impact on hitting rate,but has no significant impact on the hitting distance.The acquisition of the user performance by the moving target is mainly influenced by vision under the combined modalities;adding additional modalities can improve user performance.Although the hitting distance of the target is increased in the trimodal condition,the hitting rate decreases.Conclusion This study analyses the results of user performance and subjective perception,and then provides suggestions on the combination of modality clues in different scenarios.
