The detection of a moving target using an IR-UWB Radar involves the core task of separating the waves reflected by the static background and by the moving target. This paper investigates the capacity of the low-rank and sparse matrix decomposition approach to separate the background and the foreground in the trend of UWB Radar-based moving target detection. Robust PCA models are criticized for being batched-data-oriented, which makes them inconvenient in realistic environments where frames need to be processed as they are recorded in real time. In this paper, a novel method based on overlapping-windows processing is proposed to cope with online processing. The method consists of processing a small batch of frames which will be continually updated without changing its size as new frames are captured. We prove that RPCA (via its Inexact Augmented Lagrange Multiplier (IALM) model) can successfully separate the two subspaces, which enhances the accuracy of target detection. The overlapping-windows processing method converges on the optimal solution with its batch counterpart (i.e., processing batched data with RPCA), and both methods prove the robustness and efficiency of the RPCA over the classic PCA and the commonly used exponential averaging method.

A new method is proposed to build an autonomous water pollution monitoring map by fish robots using ubiquitous sensor networks with sonar localization. Autonomous fish robots are introduced instead of fixed data logging stations to track pollutant sources as well as monitoring. Autonomous tracking is one of important functions in mobile underwater vehicles which monitor water pollution indices. When fish robots find obstacles on its path, proper direction changes to avoid collision are necessary. Otherwise, they should follow the given tracks as close as possible to obtain a pollution map. For efficient tracking performance and procedures of surveying water areas, fish robots use GPS and a sonar system to find exact localization. Although GPS is a fundamental tool to obtain positional information for large areas, it is not the best choice in accurate applications due to intolerable errors. In this paper, we propose to employ USN motes with sonar system to transmit sonar signals to calculate precise positional information in a given area. Our experimental results in a lake show that fish robots obtain more detailed positional information and make better tracking performance in the real situation.

주파수변조연속파형(FMCW) 레이더 시스템을 사용하는 이동 객체탐지가 최근 각광을 받고 있다. 레이더 객체탐지는 탐지범위 내 존재하는 고정된 객체 및 클러터들로부터 반사되는 잡음신호로 인해 매우 도전적인 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 FCMW 레이다를 이용하여 잡음배경하 이동객체탐지를 위해 강인한 주성분분석법(RPCA)을 이용한다. 먼저 원 레이더 입력신호에 보상과 보정을 적용한다. 다음 경사하강법을 사용하는 RPCA가 저계수의 성질을 갖는 잡음배경 모델을 구하기 위해 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 RPCA 계산을 위해 소요계산량이 적은 새로운 업데이트 알고리즘을 제안한다. 마지막으로 이동객체는 자동 다중스케일에 기반한 피크 탐지법에 의해 정위한다. 모든 단계는 슬라이딩 윈도우 방법 기반하여 처리된다. 제안된 방법을 타 RPCA 기반의 방법들과 다양한 실험 시나리오 상에서 비교했을 때, 처리 속도와 정확도 척도에서 우수한 결과를 보였다.
