Precision of a radial basis function neural network tracking method

The precision of a radial basis function (RBF) neural network based tracking method has been assessed against real targets. Precision was assessed against traditionally measured frame-by-frame measurements from the recorded data set. The results show the potential limit for the technique and reveal intricacies associated with empirical data not necessarily observed in simulations.

Neural network tracking and extension of positive tracking periods

Feature detectors have been considered for the role of supplying additional information to a neural network tracker. The feature detector focuses on areas of the image with significant information. Basically, if a picture says a thousand words, the feature detectors are looking for the key phrases (keypoints). These keypoints are rotationally invariant and may be matched across frames. Application of these advanced feature detectors to the neural network tracking system at JPL has promising potential. As part of an ongoing program, an advanced feature detector was tested for augmentation of a neural network based tracker. The advance feature detector extended tracking periods in test sequences including aircraft tracking, rover tracking, and simulated Martian landing. Future directions of research are also discussed.
