AI Radar Tracker Upgrades for SAR Detection Targets
註釋This report describes the development and preliminary testing of the prototype Search and Rescue Artificial Intelligence Tracker (SARAIT). The SARAIT processes plots from any conventional marine radar using M of N (M target detections in N scans) integration and multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT) to detect small, awash, slowly drifting targets such as liferafts, person in water (PIWs) and wreckage. The SARAIT is implemented on two dual-Pentium Pro single-board computers. It was operated in real time during offshore data-gathering trials and was tested with a small subset of the taped data recorded while sailing at 8 to 10 kn in 3.3 to 3.8 m seas. The SARAIT reliably detected very small PIW-sized targets at 1 to 2 nmi (depending on the clutter intensity) and small liferaft-sized targets at 2 to 3.5 nmi, all with less than 5 false detections per hour. Longer detection ranges are expected to result from the more involved testing planned for early 1999.
