Ground Target Tracking Using UAV with Input Constraints
ABSTRACT This paper deals with the problem of adversarial ground target tracking using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) subject to input
constraints. For adversarial ground target tracking, tracking performance and UAV safety are two important considerations
during tracking controller design. In this paper, a bang-bang heading rate controller is proposed to achieve circular tracking
around the target. Exposure avoidance of the UAV to the target and minimizing the exposure time are studied respectively in
terms of the initial state of the UAV. The performance of the proposed controller in both cases is also analyzed. Simulation
results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

- "They considered an unknown moving target motion and wind, and established information architectures modeled by rigid graph theory. Zhu and Wang dealt with the problem of tracking an adversarial target using a vector field [17]. Lawrence et al. also designed a vector field for a circular orbit [18] [19]. "
Conference Paper: Vector field guidance for path following and arrival angle control[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on unmanned aircraft guidance laws for a straight path and a circular orbit following using the vector field approach. The vector fields introduced in this paper can be applied to not only path following, but also other purposes such as arrival position, angle, and time control. Therefore, they could be applied to various missions providing advantages over other previous vector fields. Stability and performance of the path following has been proved and analyzed using the classical control theory. And simulation using a six degrees-of-freedom aircraft model shows that these guidance laws are effective for the missions even under the existence of wind disturbance.Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS), 2014 International Conference on; 05/2014

- "Dobrokhodov et al. [10] proposed an object tracking system for unmanned small aircrafts. Zhu and Wang [11] used a bang-bang heading rate controller to achieve circular tracking around the target. Wang et al. [12] presented a compound framework for moving target detection, recognition and tracking based on different altitude UAV captured videos. "
ABSTRACT: Fast and accurate visual tracking of ground buildings can provide unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with rich perceptual information, which is very important for target recognition, navigation and system control. However, when an UAV moves fast, both background and buildings in visual scenes change relatively and rapidly. Consequently, there are no constant features for objects' appearance, which poses great challenges for visual tracking of buildings. In this paper, we first build an image manifold of buildings, which can encode the continuous variation of appearance. We then propose an efficient approach to learn this manifold and obtain more robust feature extraction results. By using a simple tracking framework, we successfully apply the extracted low-dimensional features to real-time building tracking. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.05/2014; 756-759. DOI:10.2991/iccia.2012.240

ABSTRACT: This paper presents strategies for standoff target tracking by a team of unmanned aircrafts using vector field. Many methods to the vector field approach were investigated in other papers, but a modified vector field is introduced to obtain new interesting characteristics in this paper. The modified vector field satisfies more constraints. We introduce two guidance modes to track a target: one is a capturing mode and the other one is a loitering mode. In the capturing mode, aircrafts can arrive at desired positions and time, i.e., unmanned aircrafts can capture a target simultaneously from all sides. After a target is captured, the guidance mode is changed to the loitering mode. Then the relative spacing among aircrafts is controlled by a standoff distance command and a speed command. Hence, they track a target with a desired formation.Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems 01/2013; 69(1-4). DOI:10.1007/s10846-012-9765-7 · 1.18 Impact Factor

For the last few weeks, Gallaudet University has been torn apart by protests -- led by students but joined by faculty, staff and alumni -- over the selection last spring of Jane K. Fernandes, the provost, to succeed I. King Jordan, the university's president for the last 18 years.
While the proportion of women receiving tenure-track offers to join Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences rose for the third straight year in 2005-6, the share of women who accepted positions declined dramatically, according to an internal report.
Deborah L. Rhode has joined the campaign against the role of status in defining what matters in higher education. Her new book, In Pursuit of Knowledge: Scholars, Status, and Academic Culture (Stanford University Press) questions why excellence is defined as it is today, and explores the impact that prestige has on the choices made by academics and scholars. Rhode, a professor of law and director of the Center on Ethics at Stanford University, responded to questions about the themes of her book.

49ers running back Frank Gore passed Roger Craig and moved into second place on the franchise rushing list with 7,089 yards. Gore wound up with 134 yards on a season-high 31 carries. … The Rams' Steven Jackson has 28 career 100-yard games, passing Marshall Faulk for second in franchise history and 10 behind Eric Dickerson. … Reggie Bush had a season-high 103 yards rushing, his highest total as a member of the Dolphins and second most of his career. Bush's single game rushing high of 126 yards came during his rookie campaign against the Giants on Dec. 24, 2006 as a member of the Saints. … Cincinnati's 34-12 win over Seattle made Marvin Lewis the winningest coach in Bengals history with 65 career victories. … With 1,074 yards from scrimmage, Fred Jackson became only the fourth Bills player to surpass 1,000 yards seven games into a season, and first since Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas in 1991. … The Lions' Calvin Johnson joined Randy Moss as the only wide receivers since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to catch 11 TD passes in his team's first eight games. … The Titans improved to 63-37 in their 100th game at LP Field. … Matt Schaub threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score for Houston (5-3), off to its best eight-game start. The Texans also took one more step toward the franchise's first division title and playoff berth by improving to 3-0 in the AFC South. … The Lions scored their most points on the road since a 45-point outburst at San Francisco on Oct. 29, 1967.
San Francisco has a five-game winning streak for the first time since 2001 and wrapped up its first unbeaten October since 1997. … The Titans earned their first win against the Colts since Oct. 27, 2008. … Houston rushed 39 times for 156 yards and has won 28 of its past 31 games when rushing at least 30 times. The Texans have outscored three division opponents by a total score of 99-28. … The Rams had faced double-digit deficits at halftime in every previous game this season. The Saints had not been blanked in a first half since early in the 2007 season. … The Vikings' Jared Allen has a sack in 10 straight games. … This marks the first time the Bills have opened a season with four straight home wins since 1995, when they went 5-0. Buffalo handed Redskins coach Mike Shanahan his first shutout loss in 24 seasons as an NFL coach or offensive coordinator, according to STATS LLC. … Arizona has lost six straight. Four of those defeats have been by four points or fewer.
The Rams wore throwback jerseys in a nod to their 1999 Super Bowl championship team. Then there was the pregame appearance by the Cardinals, who brought their World Series trophy with them to help fire up a crowd growing accustomed to disappointment from the Rams. The game was sold out, but there were hundreds of empty seats.
Manager Tony La Russa donned a Sam Bradford jersey and Game 7 winner Chris Carpenter went out for the coin toss wearing a Steven Jackson jersey.
And the Rams won for the first time this season, beating New Orleans 31-21.
The Baltimore Ravens erased a 24-3 deficit to defeat Arizona 30-27. It marked the fifth time this season a team trailed by at least 20 points and came back to win. That is the most in a single season in NFL history.
For Colt McCoy and the Browns, it's 0-for the Bay Area. They lost two weeks ago in Oakland, then floundered across San Francisco Bay at Candlestick Park on Sunday in a 20-10 loss.
The Giants had receiver Hakeem Nicks, center David Baas, running back Ahmad Bradshaw and cornerback Justin Tryon get tweaked in the 20-17 win. None of the injuries is considered serious and each of the players returned except Nicks. Nicks hurt a hamstring, Baas a knee, Bradshaw his right foot and Tryon had a stringer. Dolphins center Mike Pouncey left in the second half after taking a blow to the head. … Steelers standout linebacker LaMarr Woodley missed portions of the fourth quarter of a win over New England with a hamstring problem. … Bengals cornerback Pacman Jones strained a hamstring in the first quarter at Seattle and did not return.
"It was an ugly win, but we ain't putting no points on it. This ain't the BCS with the style points you need to be No. 1." _ 49ers defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois after San Francisco's 20-10 win over Cleveland.

... We fueled up on some ice cream before heading out for our hike (it is better for everyone if we keep Carolina's blood sugar stable!!) and made our way to the meadows to see the Soda Springs (carbonated water coming from the ground), Parsons Memorial Lodge (built by the Sierra Club in the early 1900's) all with a view of Lembert Dome in the background. These views were just as beautiful and inspiring as those from the Tunnel View and the bottom of the valley. ...

Eventually got into the park and with great relief were told that we could get through to Curry Village. So after about 10 1/2 hours in the car we finally arrived. After checking in we grabbed a quick pizza and bear in the buzzing Curry Village centre then headed for our tents.
The tents were exactly as we'd imagined them from various summer camp movies. Exhausted we hopped into our beds to dream of the ...

We made fairly good time, stopping for lunch at a Carl's Jrs (our first time eating there) and arriving around 2pm. Uneventful and not really scenic drive. Our hostess, Ginger, had a very lovely newly built home. She had lots of cats and one crazy pug, as well as assorted birds and hummingbirds flying around the property.
