Shrnutí:Creating an accurate world model of the scenario where an autonomous underwater vehicle is navigating can be considered a crucial stage for understanding the surrounding environment. As a result, the targets detected by an automatic target recognition (ATR) architecture alongside their localized positions, must be handled, selected, and filtered to get a symbolic representation of the underwater context. Even though the specific world modeling (WM) architecture may vary, current WM methodologies usually rely on the 3-D localization knowledge of the detected target by introducing a nonnegligible constraint. Motivated by the aforementioned considerations, a novel probabilistic particle filter anchoring (PPFA) approach has been developed. Starting from ATR 2-D results, the PPFA methodology aims at providing a semantic 3-D representation of the subsea environment by merging the upsides of both data association and object tracking, handled by a custom designed particle filter with resampling.
