A turn rate estimation based adaptive interactive multiple model algorithm is put forward to solve model-set mismatch problem of target tracking algorithm applying to high maneuvering target. By considering both the estimation and the estimated variance of target’s turn rate, model-set is selected according to a rule based on the coefficient of variance of turn rate estimation. When turn rate estimation is acceptable, model-set is constructed according to turn rate estimation to reduce competition among models. When turn rate estimation is unacceptable, standard IMM algorithm model-set is applied to increase coverage of model-set. Simulation shows this algorithm improves tracking performance especially for high maneuvering targets.

This paper offers a fast multi‐graphics processing unit (GPU) parallel simulation framework to the problem of real‐time and nonlinear finite element computation of brain deformation. A load balancing strategy is proposed to ensure the efficient distribution of nonlinear finite element computation on multi‐GPU. A data storage structure is designed to minimize the amount of data transfer and make full use of the overlay technique of GPU to reduce the transferring latency between multi‐GPUs. We further present a fast central processing unit (CPU)–GPU parallel continuous collision detection and response method, which not only can deal with the collision between the brain and skull but also can handle the self‐collision of the brain. Our method can make full use of CPU and GPU to implement a parallel computation about deformation and collision detection. Our experimental results show that our method is able to handle a brain geometric model with high detail gyrus composed of more than 40,000 tetrahedron elements. This can facilitate the fidelity of the current virtual brain surgery simulator. We evaluate our approach qualitatively and quantitatively and compare it with related works.

A turn rate based adaptive variable structure multiple model algorithm is put forward to improve tracking accuracy for high maneuvering target. In the basis of switching grid interactive multiple model (SGIMM) scheme, supporting digraph is revised according to an improved estimated turn rate. This algorithm overcomes the model-set mismatch problem caused by inaccurate switching of supporting digraph. Simulation shows this algorithm improves tracking performance especially for high maneuvering targets.
