Distinguished Lecture: Angle-only tracking in three dimensions
Room: 4463, Bldg: Mackenzie Bldg (ME), Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6Abstract: The angle-only filtering (AOF) problem in 3D arises in many real-world passive tracking problems. These problems include passive ranging using an infrared search and track (IRST) sensor, passive sonar, passive radar in the presence of jamming, and satellite-to-satellite passive tracking. We consider estimating the state of a target using noisy bearing and elevation measurements. We first describe the dynamic models of the target and senor and different coordinate systems. The filter initialization, which forms an important part of the filtering algorithm, is explained next. Several nonlinear filters including the extended Kalman filter (EKF), unscented Kalman filter (EKF), cubature Kalman filter (CKF), and particle filter (PF) are used for performance evaluation. We also compare the performance of these nonlinear filters with the posterior Cramér-Rao lower bound (PCRLB). Finally, we discuss other topics in the AOF problem not covered in this <a href="http://presentation.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="presentation.Speaker(s):">presentation.Speaker(s): Mahendra Mallick, Room: 4463, Bldg: Mackenzie Bldg (ME), Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6
From ISAC to DISAC – Concepts, Trade-offs, and Opportunities
Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/505824Join us for the third session of the exciting webinar series on "New Frontiers in Signal Processing in 6G Wireless Networks", a collaboration between IEEE Signal Processing, IEEE Communications Society chapters in Ottawa, and IEEE ComSoC Young <a href="http://Professionals.Register" target="_blank" title="Professionals.Register">Professionals.Register now and stay tuned for updates on upcoming speakers and topics!Speaker(s): Prof. Henk WymeerschAgenda: Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) is emerging as a key enabler for future wireless networks, offering dual-functionality in communication and environmental sensing. This talk explores the principles of Distributed ISAC (DISAC), highlighting its potential to enhance wireless systems through cooperative and distributed architectures. We will examine the core trade-offs and synergies between sensing and communication, the impact of network synchronization, interference management, and resource allocation in distributed scenarios. Additionally, we discuss practical deployment challenges, including hardware constraints, synchronization, and the influence of multi-antenna (MIMO) and multi-node <a href="http://cooperation.Virtual:" target="_blank" title="cooperation.Virtual:">cooperation.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/505824
