Работа посвящена построению процедуры идентификации маневрирующих объектов с использованием критерия идеального наблюдателя и фильтрации параметров трасс при сопровождении средствами мониторинга в интересах структурносистемного контроля воздушного пространства. Для минимизации среднеквадратических ошибок оценок координат и скоростей движения объектов разработаны алгоритмы экстраполяции параметров траекторий путем задания корректирующего шумового ускорения и замены результатов фильтрации оценок координат на измеренные значения при распознавании маневра. Обоснованы параметры фильтрации с шумовым ускорением в зависимости от точности измерений пространственных характеристик и идентификации при группировании однотипных признаков с наибольшими значениями условных вероятностей ситуаций отождествления объектов Purpose. This work addresses construction of the procedure for identifying maneuvering air objects in the process of tracking their routes. Monitoring tools during structural and system air space control are employed. The study is aimed to establish the abilities of correct identification of objects and false alarm at various standard errors of measurements of angular coordinates and to determine ways to increase efficiency of identifications performed due to selection of filtering options during trace tracking. Methodology. Identification of objects was performed according to the ideal observer criterion by comparing estimates of angular coordinates of objects subjected to linear filtering with corrective noise acceleration. In order to minimize root-mean-square errors of coordinates and motion velocity estimates of objects, route parameter extrapolation algorithms are obtained by setting correcting noise acceleration and replacing the results of filtering coordinate estimates with measured values during manoeuvre recognition. Due to a priori uncertainty of route parameters, target tracking was initially performed using recurring linear filtering while maintaining the priority of straight uniform movement. The recognition of the maneuver was carried out as a result of exceeding the difference between the measured and filtered values of the target coordinates of the threshold value. Findings. Filtering parameters with noise acceleration are justified depending on the accuracy of measurements of spatial characteristics and identification when grouping identification features with the highest values of conditional probabilities of situations for the objects under identification. As a result of replacing filtered parameters of alignments containing areas with rotations of 10 and 20, measured values for standard bearing errors (1 ... 2), the maximum error in determining directions for objects reaches 0.8 and 0.9, respectively. When replacing the estimates of the parameters of the alignments obtained using a recurring linear filter without taking into account noise acceleration, the coordinate values measured at the bearing error (0 . 5 ... 2), the errors of the filtered bearing of the targets at the angles of rotation of 10are (0 . 2 ... 1). When maneuvering objects with turns by 20, the largest value of the standard bearing error increases to 1.2. By increasing the accuracy of the diaper from 2 to 0.5, the probability of correct identification of objects in monitoring tools performing noise correction acceleration filtering increases by about 3 times and reaches a value of 0.9. As a result of replacing the estimates of the parameters of the alignments filtered taking into account the corrective noise acceleration with the results of measurements, the probability of correct identification of objects with standard bearing errors of not more than 0.5decreases from 0.9 to 0.85. Originality/value. The identification of maneuvering air objects is performed using filtering of route parameters calculated with the help of the ideal observer criterion. For the most efficient identification, the identification features belonging to the same object must be established according to the highest conditional probability of the identification situation. To minimize errors in estimation of the angular coordinates of objects, a procedure for filtering motion parameters with corrective noise acceleration is implemented

Radars with a phased array antenna (PAA) which performs multi-channel radar signal reception are effective means of obtaining radar information about air objects in difficult conditions of air and jamming environment. Radar surveillance for radars with PAA is accompanied by a significant negative effect of tropospheric inhomogeneity, which causes a decrease in the accuracy of measurements of azimuth angles and air object‟s position due to fluctuations of the phase front of the received wave reflected from an air object. According to the results of research, the hypothesis of a normal distribution law of these fluctuations is accepted. The paper presents the results of estimating the root mean square errors of measuring the angular coordinates of the air object, which occur if the fluctuations of the phase front of the received signal‟s wave are not taken into account and analyzes the possibility of reducing such errors when the fluctuations are considered. The possibility of optimizing the angular measurements of air objects in digital radars with PAA is shown, which consists in taking into account the fluctuations of the phase front of the received signal in the algorithm of discrete (fast) Fourier transform, which is widely used to provide spatial measurements in modern digital radar stations. The results of previous studies were generalized, which makes it possible to evaluate the possibility of increasing the accuracy of angular measurements of air objects during multichannel reception of a radar signal in difficult conditions of radar operation.

Many of the metrics developed for informational imaging are useful in automotive imaging, since many of the tasks – for example, object detection and identification – are similar. This work discusses sensor characterization parameters for the Ideal Observer SNR model, and elaborates on the noise power spectrum. It presents cross-correlation analysis results for matched-filter detection of a tribar pattern in sets of resolution target images that were captured with three image sensors over a range of illumination levels. Lastly, the work compares the crosscorrelation data to predictions made by the Ideal Observer Model and demonstrates good agreement between the two methods on relative evaluation of detection capabilities.

The ability to resolve the orientation of edges is crucial to daily tactile and sensorimotor function, yet the means by which edge perception occurs is not well understood. Primate cortical area 3b neurons have diverse receptive field (RF) spatial structures that may participate in edge orientation perception. We evaluated five candidate RF models for macaque area 3b neurons, previously recorded while an oriented bar contacted the monkey's fingertip. We used a Bayesian classifier to assign each neuron a best-fit RF structure. We generated predictions for human performance by implementing an ideal observer that optimally decoded stimulus-evoked spike counts in the model neurons. The ideal observer predicted a saturating reduction in bar orientation discrimination threshold with increasing bar length. We tested 24 humans on an automated, precision-controlled bar orientation discrimination task and observed performance consistent with that predicted. We next queried the ideal observer to discover the RF structure and number of cortical neurons that best matched each participant's performance. Human perception was matched with a median of 24 model neurons firing throughout a 1-s period. The 10 lowest-performing participants were fit with RFs lacking inhibitory sidebands, whereas 12 of the 14 higher-performing participants were fit with RFs containing inhibitory sidebands. Participants whose discrimination improved as bar length increased to 10 mm were fit with longer RFs; those who performed well on the 2-mm bar, with narrower RFs. These results suggest plausible RF features and computational strategies underlying tactile spatial perception and may have implications for perceptual learning.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] "This dissertation is a combination of three different projects. The first project investigates the history of philosophy: Kant's refutation of idealism. In this project I propose a more plausible interpretation of Kant's argument against idealism. Next, the second project investigates ethical theory: the ideal observer view. There, I criticize an argument for ideal observer view as untenable. Finally, the third project investigates decision theory: the decision problem: Psycho Buttons. I argue that causal decision theory supplemented with Full Information does not lead to intransitivity in Psycho Buttons. In this chapter I present an introduction to each project." --Introduction
