For the standard Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter, the number of targets can be overestimated if the clutter rate is too high or underestimated if the detection rate is too low. These problems seriously affect the accuracy of multitarget tracking for the number and the value of measurements and clutters cannot be distinguished and recognized. Therefore, we proposed an improved GM-PHD filter to tackle these problems. Firstly, a track-estimate association was implemented in the filtering process to detect and remove false-alarm targets. Secondly, a numerical interpolation technique was used to compensate the missing targets caused by low detection rate. At the end of this paper, simulation results were presented to demonstrate the proposed GM-PHD algorithm is more effective in estimating the number and state of targets than the previous ones.

AbstractProbability hypothesis density (PHD) filter is a suboptimal Bayesian multi-target filter based on random finite set. The Gaussian mixture PHD filter is an analytic solution to the PHD filter for linear Gaussian multi-target models. However, when targets move near each other, the GM-PHD filter cannot correctly estimate the number of targets and their states. To solve the problem, a novel reweighting scheme for closely spaced targets is proposed under the framework of the GM-PHD filter, which can be able to correctly redistribute the weights of closely spaced targets, and effectively improve the multiple target state estimation precision. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can accurately estimate the number of targets and their states, and effectively improve the performance of multi-target tracking algorithm.

The detection probability is an important parameter in multisensor multitarget tracking. The existing multisensor multi-Bernoulli (MS-MeMBer) filter and multisensor cardinalized probability hypothesis density (MS-CPHD) filter require that detection probability is a priori. However, in reality, the value of the detection probability is constantly changing due to the influence of sensors, targets, and other environmental characteristics. Therefore, to alleviate the performance deterioration caused by the mismatch of the detection probability, this paper applies the inverse gamma Gaussian mixture (IGGM) distribution to both the MS-MeMBer filter and the MS-CPHD filter. Specifically, the feature used for detection is assumed to obey the inverse gamma distribution and is statistically independent of the target’s spatial position. The feature is then integrated into the target state to iteratively estimate the target detection probability as well as the motion state. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods can achieve a better filtering performance in scenarios with unknown and changing detection probability. It is also shown that the distribution of the sensors has a vital influence on the filtering accuracy, and the filters perform better when sensors are dispersed in the monitoring area.

A multiextended-target tracker based on the extended target Gaussian-mixture probability hypothesis density (ET-GMPHD) filter, which can provide the tracks of the extended targets, is proposed to maintain the track continuity for the extended targets. To identify the extended targets, each individual Gaussian term of the mixture representing the posterior intensity function will be assigned a label, which is evolved through time. Then a track management scheme, including track initiation, track confirmation, track propagation, and termination, is developed to form the tracks for the extended targets. Furthermore, to improve the performance of the extended target tracker we also propose a mixture partitioning algorithm for resolving the identities of the extended targets in close proximity. The simulation results show that our proposed tracker achieves the less error of the position estimates and decreases the probability of incorrect label assignments from 0.6 to 0.25.

The Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GMPHD) filter is applied to the problem of tracking ground moving targets in clutter due to its excellent multitarget tracking performance, such as avoiding measurement-to-track association, and its easy implementation. For the existing GMPHD-based ground target tracking algorithm (the GMPHD filter incorporating map information using a coordinate transforming method, CT-GMPHD), the predicted probability density of its target state is given in road coordinates, while its target state update needs to be performed in Cartesian ground coordinates. Although the algorithm can improve the filtering performance to a certain extent, the coordinate transformation process increases the complexity of the algorithm and reduces its computational efficiency. To address this issue, this paper proposes two non-coordinate transformation roadmap fusion algorithms: directional process noise fusion (DNP-GMPHD) and state constraint fusion (SC-GMPHD). The simulation results show that, compared with the existing algorithms, the two proposed roadmap fusion algorithms are more accurate and efficient for target estimation performance on straight and curved roads in a cluttered environment. The proposed methods are additionally applied using a cardinalized PHD (CPHD) filter and a labeled multi-Bernoulli (LMB) filter. It is found that the PHD filter performs less well than the CPHD and LMB filters, but that it is also computationally cheaper.

In this study, an explicit track continuity algorithm is proposed for multitarget tracking (MTT) based on the Gaussian mixture (GM) implementation of the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter. Trajectory maintenance and multitarget state extraction in the GM-PHD filter have not been effectively integrated to date. To address this problem, we propose an improved GM-PHD filter. In this approach, the Gaussian components are classified and labeled, and multitarget state extraction is converted into multiple single-state extractions. This provides the identity label of the individual target and can shield against the negative effects of clutter in the prior density region on the estimates, thus realizing the integration of trajectory maintenance with state extraction in the GM-PHD filter. As no additional associated procedures are required, the overall real-time performance of the proposed filter is similar to or slightly lower than that of the basic GM-PHD filter. The results of numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve explicit track continuity.

AbstractInfrared small target detection has been a challenging task due to the weak radiation intensity of targets and the complexity of the background. Traditional methods using hand-designed features are usually effective for specific background and have the problems of low detection rate and high false alarm rate in complex infrared scene. In order to fully exploit the features of infrared image, this paper proposes an infrared small target detection method based on region proposal and convolution neural network. Firstly, the small target intensity is enhanced according to the local intensity characteristics. Then, potential target regions are proposed by corner detection to ensure high detection rate of the method. Finally, the potential target regions are fed into the classifier based on convolutional neural network to eliminate the non-target regions, which can effectively suppress the complex background clutter. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively reduce the false alarm rate, and outperform other state-of-the-art methods in terms of subjective visual impression and quantitative evaluation metrics.

Web security plays a very crucial role in the Security of Things (SoT) paradigm for smart healthcare and will continue to be impactful in medical infrastructures in the near future. This paper addressed a key component of security-intrusion detection systems due to the number of web security attacks, which have increased dramatically in recent years in healthcare, as well as the privacy issues. Various intrusion-detection systems have been proposed in different works to detect cyber threats in smart healthcare and to identify network-based attacks and privacy violations. This study was carried out as a result of the limitations of the intrusion detection systems in responding to attacks and challenges and in implementing privacy control and attacks in the smart healthcare industry. The research proposed a machine learning support system that combined a Random Forest (RF) and a genetic algorithm: a feature optimization method that built new intrusion detection systems with a high detection rate and a more accurate false alarm rate. To optimize the functionality of our approach, a weighted genetic algorithm and RF were combined to generate the best subset of functionality that achieved a high detection rate and a low false alarm rate. This study used the NSL-KDD dataset to simultaneously classify RF, Naive Bayes (NB) and logistic regression classifiers for machine learning. The results confirmed the importance of optimizing functionality, which gave better results in terms of the false alarm rate, precision, detection rate, recall and F1 metrics. The combination of our genetic algorithm and RF models achieved a detection rate of 98.81% and a false alarm rate of 0.8%. This research raised awareness of privacy and authentication in the smart healthcare domain, wireless communications and privacy control and developed the necessary intelligent and efficient web system. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm was applied to examine the F1-score and precisionperformance as compared to the NSL-KDD and CSE-CIC-IDS2018 datasets using different scaling factors. The results showed that the proposed GA was greatly optimized, for which the average precision was optimized by 5.65% and the average F1-score by 8.2%.
