The state variables are decomposed into linear and non-linear parts. The particle filter is adopted to predict and estimate the nonlinear states of multi-target after dimensionality reduction, while the Kalman filter is applied to estimate the linear parts under linear Gaussian condition. Embedding the information of the linear states into the estimated nonlinear states helps to reduce the estimating variance and improve the accuracy of target number estimation. The meanshift kernel density estimation, being of the inherent nature of searching peak value via an adaptive gradient ascent iteration, is introduced to cluster particles and extract target states, which is independent of the target number and can converge to the local peak position of the PHD distribution while avoiding the errors due to the inaccuracy in modeling and parameters estimation. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can obtain higher tracking accuracy when using fewer sampling particles and is of lower computational complexity compared with the PF-PHD.展开更多
文摘针对多站无源雷达背景下多起伏目标同时检测和跟踪的问题,该文提出一种基于多目标多伯努利(Me MBer)滤波器的多起伏目标检测前跟踪(TBD)算法。由于起伏目标的平均信噪比(SNR)未知使得目标的回波幅度似然函数不确定,该文假定包络检波器的输出平均SNR服从先验的均匀分布,并对可能取值区间进行边缘化处理,得到一个估计的似然函数,基于该估计的似然函数,融合中心利用所有收发对的幅度观测信息对Me MBer滤波器的各个预测分量进行更新。仿真结果表明,该算法能够有效地同时检测和跟踪多起伏目标,并且在平均SNR大于9 d B时,其性能与平均SNR已知情况下的性能近似。
