Bearings-Only Tracking of Manoeuvring Targets Using Particle Filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the problem of bearings-only tracking of manoeuvring targets using particle filters (PFs). Three different (PFs) are proposed for this problem which is formulated as a multiple model tracking problem in a jumpMarkov system (JMS) framework. The proposed filters are (i) multiple model PF (MMPF), (ii) auxiliary MMPF (AUX-MMPF), and (iii) jump Markov system PF (JMS-PF). The performance of these filters is compared with that of standard interacting multiple model (IMM)-based trackers such as IMM-EKF and IMM-UKF for three separate cases: (i) single-sensor case, (ii) multisensor case, and (iii) tracking with hard constraints. A conservative CRLB applicable for this problem is also derived and compared with the RMS error performance of the filters. The results confirm the superiority of the PFs for this difficult nonlinear tracking problem.

Bearings-Only Tracking of Manoeuvring Targets Using Multiple Model Variable Rate Particle Filter with Differential Evolution
In standard target tracking, algorithms assume synchronous and identical sampling rate for measurement and state processes. Contrary to these methods particle filter is proposed with variable rate. These filters use a restricted number of states, and a Gamma distribution is applied at state arrival time so that the maneuvering targets could be tracked. Although this structure is capable of trac...
متن کاملOptimal Observer Path Planning For Bearings-Only Moving Targets Tracking Using Chebyshev Polynomials
In this paper, an optimization problem for the observer trajectory in the bearings-only surface moving target tracking (BOT) is studied. The BOT depends directly on the observability of the target's position in the target/observer geometry or the optimal observer maneuver. Therefore, the maximum lower band of the Fisher information matrix is opted as an independent criterion of the target estim...
متن کاملBearings-Only Tracking with Joint Parameter Learning and State Estimation
This paper considers the problem of bearings only tracking of manoeuvring targets. A learning particle filtering algorithm is proposed which can estimate both the unknown target states and unknown model parameters. The algorithm performance is validated and tested over a challenging scenario with abrupt manoeuvres. A comparison of the proposed algorithm with the Interacting Multiple Model (IMM)...
متن کاملMultiple and Extended Object Tracking with Poisson Spatial Processes and Variable Rate Filters
In this paper we propose a new approach for tracking manoeuvring objects using variable rate particle filters with multiple sensors. Unlike other approaches the proposed method assumes that the states change at different and unknown rates compared with the observation process, and hence is able to model parsimoniously the manoeuvring behaviours of an object. Furthermore, Poisson model is used t...
متن کاملJoint Tracking of Manoeuvring Targets and Classification of Their Manoeuvrability
Semi-Markov models are a generalisation of Markov models that explicitly model the state-dependent sojourn time distribution, the time for which the system remains in a given state. Markov models result in an exponentially distributed sojourn time, while semi-Markov models make it possible to define the distribution explicitly. Such models can be used to describe the behaviour of manoeuvring ta...
