Target Information Processing: A Joint Decision and Estimation Approach

Abstract

The project has made important accomplishments in the following inter-related areas centered on target information processing by joint decision and estimation: (a) theory and algorithm development for joint decision and estimation; (b) target information processing, particularly for target tracking under equality and/or inequality constraints; (c) theory and algorithm development for data fusion for estimation; (d) UAV team path optimization for search and track; (e) variable-structure algorithms and model-set design methods for multiple-model approach to target information processing; and (f) performance and credibility evaluation of decision and estimation algorithms. Some of these accomplishments have fundamental theoretical value and some others have important practical significance. Most of the accomplishments have been disseminated in the form of publication, which includes 23 journal articles (16 appeared or to appear and 7 submitted), 55 conference proceedings papers (42 appeared and 13 submitted), and 3 book chapters (2 appeared and 1 to appear).
