Abstract

This project supported a visit to the Army Research Laboratory, Delphi between Monday 26th January - Friday 30th January 2015 with Dr. Raghu Rao to explore issues associated with persistent wide area surveillance and algorithm development. The activities were as follows. First, an evaluation of scenarios and datasets was carried out, and a suitable candidate was identified. Second, the challenges associated with this data set were enumerated. There were classified into - formulation of the tracking problem, registration and tracking from moving platforms, modelling the movement of targets, and developing suitable observation models. Third, a literature review of more than 70 papers was carried out in each of these research areas to identify the state of the art. Finally, gaps and opportunities were identified. These range across all of the challenge areas, and include development of multitarget tracking algorithms with dependent targets, and observation models which can account for effects such as occlusions and shadows. The output of the project was documented in a final report.
