To realize the tracking of maneuvering targets in the presence of long-range suppression jamming, the influence of long-range, high-power suppression jamming on radar detection and measurement accuracy is analyzed.A new measurement model is introduced to simulate the temporary disappearance of the targets caused by the decrease of detection probability of the radar in the presence of suppression jamming.The measurement in spherical coordinates is converted to measurement in right angle coordinates by using the decorrelated and unbiased measurement conversion method.Then, a maneuvering target tracking algorithm under suppression jamming on the radar is established based on the adaptive federal filter.The simulation results show that, the proposed method can maintain stable and accurate tracking of targets in a variety of maneuvering situations under long-range suppression jamming, which is obviously superior to the existing methods.

    The classical DS evidence theory cannot effectively conduct high-conflict evidence fusion.To solve the problem, a high-conflict evidence fusion method based on average evidence and focal element distance is proposed.Firstly, Pearson correlation coefficient is used to calculate the correlation between evidence bodies, and the weight of evidence is defined to calculate the average evidence.Then, the average evidence is used to calculate the focal distance of each evidence element, and the conflict is redistributed to each focal element BPA according to the focal distance to construct a new evidence body.Finally, the traditional Dempster combination of the new evidence body is conducted to obtain the fusion result.Simulation experiments show that the new method has high accuracy and fast convergence rate when dealing with high-conflict evidence, which provides a good solution to the problem of high-conflict evidence fusion.

    It is an important research direction to classify military images.The classification accuracy based on traditional visual features is not high due to the high similarity of different military targets in complex background.A method of military image classification is proposed by combining Local Binary Pattern (LBP) with Pyramid Histogram of Oriented Gradients (PHOG) through Local Discriminant Canonical Correlation Analysis (LDCCA).Firstly, the LBP and PHOG features of military images are extracted, and then the extracted features are fused by LDCCA.Finally, K-nearest neighbor classifier is used to classify the military images.The advantage of this method is that the fused LBP and PHOG features are robust and able to classify images.The results on a data set of military targets show that this method is effective and feasible, which provides a technical reference for the military target identification system.

    This paper studies the derivation and implementation of an algorithm for estimating the angular rate of Line of Sight (LOS) angle between guided munitions and targets.The measurement information of a low-cost strapdown seeker includes two parts, namely, attitude of the missile and LOS angle, which are formed in relative motion between the missile and the target.Firstly, a decoupling algorithm is designed to remove the attitude information of the missile.Then, Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and α-β filter are used to estimate LOS angle and angular rate respectively.The final simulation results show that EKF can obtain a more accurate estimated value than α-β filter.

    In complex scenes, illumination variation and changes in the target′s scale may lead to loss of targets or mis-tracking.To solve the problem, this paper proposes a structured multi-target tracking algorithm adaptive to scale and illumination changes.Multi-scale Retinex algorithm is used to preprocess the image sequence.Structure Preserving Object Tracking (SPOT) algorithm is used to track multiple targets, so as to determine the optimal position of each target in the new frame.Discriminant Scale Space Tracking (DSST) algorithm is used to train the scale filter, whose maximum value is used to determine the optimal scale of each target in the new frame by taking the optimal position of each target in the new frame as the center.Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and bilinear interpolation are used to update the weight of the feature classifier.The experimental results show that the proposed multi-target tracking algorithm has good robustness and accuracy in dealing with illumination variation and changes in the target′s scale.

    The current graph-based multiple kernel clustering usually adopts a linearly weighted strategy, which limits the representational capacity of the consensus kernel and ignores noise pollution in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS).To solve the problem, a Robust Self-weighted Multiple Kernel Learning (RSMKL) graph-based subspace clustering algorithm is proposed, which is aimed at enhancing the representational capacity of the kernel and improving the robustness to noise in RKHS.This algorithm adopts a novel nonlinear self-weighted kernel fusion strategy to generate the optimal consensus kernel, and then uses Low-Rank Representation (LRR) in RKHS to remove the influence of noise on the quality of affinity graphs.Finally, an alternating direction method of multipliers with iterative optimization is proposed to solve the objective function.The experimental results on five common data sets show that, compared with five popular homogeneous algorithms, RSMKL possesses better clustering performance on the indexes of ACC, NMI and Purity.

    To solve the problem that the velocity of Reciprocal Velocity Obstacle (RVO) avoidance is optional in theory but is inaccessible in practical application, after comprehensively considering the advantages and disadvantages of RVO algorithm and Dynamic Window Approach (DWA), this paper fuses the two algorithms, so as to add kinematic constraints to the optional velocity of obstacle avoidance. Furthermore, when multiple mobile robots are encountering in complex environment, the conventional expansion radius may lead to failure in obstacle avoidance. To solve the problem, an Adaptive Reciprocal Velocity Obstacle (ARVO) algorithm with variable expansion radius is proposed. ARVO algorithm can adjust the expansion radius according to the complexity of the environment, which not only ensures a safe distance between the mobile robot and the surrounding obstacles, but also increases the range of optional speed. Finally, the performance of the algorithm is verified by Gazebo simulation platform in Robot Operating System (ROS).

    To solve the technical problem of excessive accumulation of errors of camera parameters during aerial triangulation self-calibration of strip sequence images captured by a UAV, a Classified Self-Calibration (CSC) method is proposed.Firstly, based on the GPS information of the images, a KD-tree is set up, and K-Means is used for automatic classification of the images.Then, the self-calibration bundle adjustment of each type of images is conducted respectively, and weighted average is made to several groups of camera parameters obtained through self-calibration.Finally, the global self-calibration bundle adjustment is conducted.Multiple sets of experiment show that, the RMSE of the parameter difference between the CSC method and the calibration method conducted in an indoor calibration field after image point distortion removal is 0.5 pixels, and the RMSE of the checkpoint position is 10.1 cm.Compared with that of Smart3D, VisualSFM and COLMAP software, the results of aerial triangulation of the proposed method could more accurately represent the original pose of the data.In conclusion, the CSC method provides an effective scheme for the aerial triangulation self-calibration of strip sequence images captured by a UAV, which has high practical application value.

    In the field of image enhancement, the method of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFS) can′t improve the contrast of the image, and the method of Histogram Equalization (HE) may cause over enhancement and loss of detailed information.To solve the problems, an image enhancement algorithm based on IFS and HE is proposed.The image to be enhanced contains a lot of uncertain information, so a new IFS-based algorithm of image enhancement is proposed.This algorithm is realized by synthesizing the membership and non-membership of pixels in an IFS, which can significantly enhance the detailed information of the image, but cannot improve the contrast of the image.Therefore, the IFS-based algorithm is combined with HE, in which IFS-based enhancement is given priority and the defects of HE-based enhancement are suppressed.The algorithm can not only enhance the details of the image, but also improve the contrast of the image.Finally, the effectiveness and reliability of the algorithm are verified by a typical example of image enhancement.
