DDDAS for Object Tracking in Complex and Dynamic Environments (DOTCODE)

Abstract

A dynamic data driven application system prototype applicable to an adaptive multimodal sensor together with a proposed adaptive sampling strategy was demonstrated to greatly reduce the amount of data required to perform target identification. By using an adaptive sampling strategy, while approximately 10% of the image pixels were selected to collect spectral data to perform feature matching in the prototype examined here. Target identification was shown to be improved using a background data elimination method was designed to remove redundant spectral data and an adaptive forecasting strategy based on the extracted context from OpenStreetMap improved tracking accuracy and target identification. In summary, the vehicle tracking adjusts to the vehicle movement, the background environment, and the road network as derived from the imagery used in the tracking.
