Sliding Window Neural Generated Tracking Based on Measurement Model

In the pursuit of further advancement in the field of target tracking, this paper explores the efficacy of a feedforward neural network in predicting drones tracks, aiming to eventually, compare the tracks created by the well-known Kalman filter and the ones created by our proposed neural network. The unique feature of our proposed neural network tracker is that it is using only a measurement model to estimate the next states of the track. Object model selection and linearization is one of the challenges that always face in the tracking process. The neural network uses a sliding window to incorporate the history of measurements when applying estimations of the track values. The testing results are comparable to the ones generated by the Kalman filter, especially for the cases where there is low measurement covariance. The complexity of linearization is avoided when using this proposed model.

A review of UAV Visual Detection and Tracking Methods

This paper presents a review of techniques used for the detection and tracking of UAVs or drones. There are different techniques that depend on collecting measurements of the position, velocity, and image of the UAV and then using them in detection and tracking. Hybrid detection techniques are also presented. The paper is a quick reference for a wide spectrum of methods that are used in the drone detection process.
