    Multiperson tracking with a network of ultrawideband radar sensors based on gaussian mixture PHD filters
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Gulmezoglu, B.; Guldogan, M. B.; Gezici, Sinan
    In this paper, we investigate the use of Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density filters for multiple person tracking using ultrawideband (UWB) radar sensors in an indoor environment. An experimental setup consisting of a network of UWB radar sensors and a computer is designed, and a new detection algorithm is proposed. The results of this experimental proof-of-concept study show that it is possible to accurately track multiple targets using a UWB radar sensor network in indoor environments based on the proposed approach. © 2014 IEEE.

    Performance improvement of track initiation algorithms with the incorporation of doppler velocity measurement
    (IEEE, 2006) Kural, F.; Arıkan, F.; Arıkan, Orhan
    In this study, to obtain the analytical expressions of false track initiation probability, elevation and Doppler velocity measurements extracted by a phased array radar are incorporated for the first time into the commonly used track initiation algorithms. With this study, the measurement set is expanded from a merely range and azimuth to include elevation and Doppler velocity. The analytical expressions of false track initiation probability depend on the parameters of the signal processing unit of the phased array radar, such as false alarm probability, true detection probability, signal-to-noise ratio and detector threshold. Furthermore, such expressions remove the necessity of very time-consuming simulations. The results indicate that using position and Doppler velocity measurements provide a reduction of false track initiation probability by a factor of 9 to 34 depending on the value of velocity and acceleration thresholds while supplying the design criterion of the true track initiation probability, ≥ 0.7.
