    In order to solve the problem that the Target Birth Intensity (TBI) is unknown in multi-target tracking, a measure-driven PHD algorithm is proposed for TBI estimation.By using augmented state space method, PHD multi-target tracking is achieved in the augmented state space composed of the real-target state space and the spurious-target state space (clutter space).By constructing the newborn target measure set, the TBI is estimated with the measure-driven method, which avoids both the dependence on the prior knowledge of TBI and the interference of unknown clutter to the real-target intensity estimation.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is sensitive to the change of target number and can reduce the computational complexity, which improves the accuracy of tracking obviously.

    The object tracking method based on Circular Structure with Kernels (CSK) is only suitable for tracking objects with fixed scale.To solve the problem, a new patch-based scale adaptive CSK tracking method was proposed.First, the relationship between the position of patches and the scale of object was derived from spatial structure of each patch.Then, the tracking confidence level of each patch was evaluated, and those with high confidence levels were selected for integration.Therefore, effective estimation was made to the scale of the object through independent tracking of each patch and the integration.The robustness of the method under interference was improved.Experiment was made by using the typical vision sequences.The result showed that the algorithm can not only realize real-time tracking of the change of object scale,but also has higher accuracy and robustness compared with the original CSK method.

    To solve the problem that the new track can not be linked to the preceding track when the track breaks off in ballistic missile's unpowered phase, a method based on fuzzy theory and evidence combination is presented for interrupted track association.Firstly, the tracks before breaking are predicted according to missile prediction model, and those after breaking are filtered by missile filtering algorithm.The new tracks above are regarded as targets waited association, the tracks in the same time segment are regarded as association samples.Then, fuzzy processing is made to characteristic distances of sample points at the same moment from different tracks in order to obtain the association membership degrees, which can be transferred into Basic Probability Assignments (BPAs) in evidence theory, so the evidence combination result in each sample instant can be obtained.According to the combination results during a continuous time, the whole association result is obtained.The simulation results show the effectiveness of this approach.

    To study the impacts of environment luminance, chromaticity of background and interferences (including specular reflection, diffuse reflection and glare) on the readability of Head-Up Display (HUD), a readability evaluation model was established based on Perceptible Just Noticeable Difference (PJND) theory by taking the characteristics of HUD and its environment into consideration.Simulations and experiments result shows that:1) The value of PJND can be used for evaluating the readability of HUD;2) Low-luminance environment has a higher luminance contrast requirement than high-luminance environment;To satisfy the readability, the HUD needs to lower the luminance contrast when the ambient luminance increases;3) The bigger the difference between background chromaticity and object chromaticity, the lower the requirement to luminance contrast;and 4)When the environment luminance is constant and the interferences increase, a higher luminance contrast can be used to satisfy the readability;when the interference luminance is beyond the maximum, physical occlusion is a way to satisfy the readability.

    Time-frequency spectrum analysis can provide the signal features in time and frequency domains.However, the method is difficult to make a good tradeoff between high time-resolution and high frequency-resolution in the process of signal identification.Therefore, a new algorithm is proposed, which has a good time-frequency concentration.Firstly, the signal is decomposed into different frequency bands by harmonic wavelet packet.Then, Morlet wavelets with high time-resolution, and short-time Fourier transform with high frequency-resolution, are used to analyze the time-frequency distribution of each frequency band.Therefore, Morlet wavelets scale matrix and short-time Fourier time-frequency matrix are obtained.At last, these two matrices are fused into a new matrix with a specific algorithm.Analysis is made to accelerometer dynamic signal under simulation and dynamic condition.The result shows that the fusion algorithm can not only extract the weak dynamic change, but also has high time-frequency resolution, which is an intuitive, comprehensive, and accurate signal identification algorithm.

    There are many industrial systems that may experience operating state switches between storage and usage throughout their whole life-cycle, and it has been proved that the operation switches have great influence on equipment's degradation process.However, the issue of remaining useful life estimation for such kind of systems is seldom founded in the literatures.In this paper, some key problems are systematically analyzed, such as the stochastic characteristics of the operation state switches, the lasting time of each state, and the difference in the degradation rates in each state.Particularly, a two-state Continuous-Time Markov Chain (CTMC) is presented to approximate the switches between the states of usage and storage.Then the CTMC is integrated into the random coefficient regression model to realize the remaining life estimation.A simulation experiment shows that the presented approach can effectively realize the system's remaining life estimation under the condition of the operation state switches.

    The conventional residual chi-square test can not accurately detemine the fault duration and thus is easy to cause false alarm and alarm leakage.Aimed at this problem, a fault detection and system reconstruction method based on hierarchical filtering is proposed.The residual chi-square test is used for fault detection of main and sub filters, and the specific failure satellite can be identified by comparing the detection results.Then, the filtering results of the sub filter uncontaining the failure satellite are feedback to the main filter and other filters and replace the results of them to reconstruct the system.The results show that: Under the condition of single satellite failure, the novel algorithm can reduce the fault tracing function, determine the failure satellite and fault duration more accurately, and improve the integrity monitoring performance significantly.
