In order to improve behavioral analysis systems in urban environments, this paper proposes, using data extracted from video surveillance cameras, a tracking method through two approaches. The first approach consists in comparing the position of people between two images of a video and to perform tracking by proximity. The second method using Kalman filters is based on the anticipation of the position of an individual in the upcoming image. The use of this method proves to be more efficient as it allows continuing a detection even when people cross each other or when they pass behind obstacles. The use of Kalman filters in this domain provides a new approach to obtain reliable tracking and information on speed and trajectory variations. The proposed method is innovative in the way the tracking is performed and the results are exploited. Experiments were conducted in a real situation and showed that the use of some elements of the first method could be reused to integrate a notion of distance in the method based on the Kalman filter and thus improve the latter both in tracking and in detecting of abnormal behavior. This article deals with the functioning of the two methods as well as the results obtained with the same scenarios. The experimentation concludes through concrete results that the Kalman filter method is more efficient than the proximity method alone. A sample result is available online for two of the seven videos used in this article (accessed on 19 July 2021).

COVID-19 is a virus that spread globally, causing severe health complications and substantial economic impact in various parts of the world. The COVID-19 forecast on infections is significant and crucial information that will help in executing policies and effectively reducing the daily cases. Filtering techniques are important ways to model dynamic structures because they provide good valuations over the recursive Bayesian updates. Kalman filters, one of the filtering techniques, are useful in the studying of contagious infections. Kalman filter algorithm performs an important role in the development of actual and comprehensive approaches to inhibit, learn, react, and reduce spreadable disorder outbreaks in people. The purpose of this paper is to forecast COVID-19 infections using the Kalman filter method. The Kalman filter (KF) was applied for the four most affected countries, namely the United States, India, Brazil, and Russia. Based on the results obtained, the KF method is capable of keeping track of the real COVID-19 data in nearly all scenarios. Kalman filters in the archetype background implement and produce decent COVID-19 predictions. The results of the KF method support the decision-making process for short-term strategies in handling the COVID-19 outbreak.

In order to evaluate the performance of GPS / BDS, RTKLIB, an open-source software of GNSS, is used in this paper. In this paper, the least square method, the weighted least square method and the extended Kalman filter method are respectively applied to BDS / GPS single system for data solution. Then, the BDS system and GPS system are used for fusion positioning and the positioning results of the two systems are compared with that of the single system. Through the comparison of experiments, on the premise of using the extended Kalman filter method for positioning, when the GPS signal is not good, BDS data is introduced for dual-mode positioning, the positioning error in e direction is reduced by 36.97%, the positioning error in U direction is reduced by 22.95%, and the spatial positioning error is reduced by 16.01%, which further reflects the advantages of dual-mode positioning in improving a system robustness and reducing the error.

AbstractNonlinear filter problems arise in many applications such as communications and signal processing. Commonly used numerical simulation methods include Kalman filter method, particle filter method, etc. In this paper a novel numerical algorithm is constructed based on samples of the current state obtained by solving the state equation implicitly. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our algorithm is more accurate than the Kalman filter and more stable than the particle filter.

Combined with the system state equation and the measurement equation, a new method of cascade Kalman filter is proposed and applied to the correction of gravity anomaly distortion. In the signal processing procedure, according to the self-correlation sequences of the measurement gravity signal, the relation of the gain matrix K and the self-correlation sequences could be obtain, and the gravity signal at current time can be calculated by the gain matrix K. Emulations and experiments indicate that both the cascade Kalman filter method and the single inverse Kalman filter method are effective in alleviating the distortion of the gravity anomaly signal, but the performance of the cascade Kalman filter method is better than that of single inverse Kalman filter method.

Long-term stock investment development is carried out by means of portfolio optimization. Selection of stocks for portfolios is not only based on high-value stock prices but also takes into account their fluctuations. Estimation of future stock price fluctuations has an indirect impact on future portfolio formation. This research has implemented the Kalman filter method to obtain the best estimation results from various stock prices with a high degree of accuracy. The results are then used to form a stock portfolio on the basis of Goal Programming. This study has compared the optimization results with the real value of stock prices. The results obtained, Kalman filter-based Goal Programming is more effective for predicting future portfolios compared to the Goal Programming method with a return difference of Rp. 178,039,848. This suggests that optimization with the Kalman Filter-based Objective Programming can be used as a tool to determine future stock portfolios.
