Toyon's Data
Fusion and Tracking work varies
broadly from the development
of fundamental data association
and state estimation techniques,
to the design of novel approaches
for multi-INT data fusion, to
the production of application-specific
tracking systems for military
and commercial use. Our continuously
growing library of algorithms
includes a wide-range of traditional
techniques for data fusion as
well as a collection of proprietary
algorithms that expand upon
the traditional technologies.
These algorithms include:
- Multi-target tracking algorithms,
such as Multiple Hypotheses
Trackers (MHT), Joint Probabilistic
Data Association (JPDA)-based
trackers, and Global Nearest
Neighbor (GNN)-based trackers;
- State estimation and filtering
algorithms, such as robust
and efficient Interacting
Multiple Model (IMM) estimators
and Particle Filters (PF);
- Feature-Aided
Tracking algorithms
for exploitation of kinematic
and signature information
from sensor data; and
- Higher-Level
Fusion tools, such as
Dynamic Bayesian Networks.
To complement
our data fusion and tracking
algorithms, Toyon also provides
research and development of
novel data fusion processing
hardware. Our custom hardware
designs provide application-specific
data fusion technologies for
both standalone operation and
integration into parent systems.
Exploiting
our vast library of algorithms
and associated hardware, Toyon
continues to address a range
of difficult ISR problems with
innovative data fusion and tracking
solutions. For example, we are
currently researching and developing
Video-Based
Target Tracking algorithms
for robust and real-time operation
on both fixed-position and small-UAV
sensor platforms. This challenging
problem demands a comprehensive
solution addressing all stages
of the video signal processing
? including frame registration,
target detection, data association
and state estimation.
