Dynamic Sensor Scheduling for Target Tracking; A Monte Carlo Sampling Approach
Dr. Ying (Joanna) He
2004-12-6
This presentation focuses on research on the problem of sensor scheduling for target tracking. The goal is to design a policy to determine which sensors to activate over time to trade off tracking performance with sensor usage costs. We approach this problem by formulating it as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), and develop a Monte Carlo solution method using a combination of particle filtering for belief-state estimation and sampling-based Q-value approximation.
