Computational Requirements of a Non-combinatorial Detection of Multiple Targets in High GMTI Clutter by Dynamic Logic Tracker
نویسنده
چکیده
The major computational challenge of multi-target tracking in clutter is solving the report-to-track association problem. Multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT) [4] is an approximate solution that tries to limit the combinatorial complexity of assignment data to models in multiple frames. MHT processing and memory requirements grow exponentially with the increased number of frames used to resolve the associations [5]. In addition, a real-time realization of an MHT tracker is difficult due to the complexity of data movement required to manage track hypotheses. This data movement leads to inefficient utilization of embedded processors.

Concurrent Detection and Tracking for Gmti
We develop a technique for performing multitarget tracking from GMTI radar data using dynamic logic (DL). The approach is specifically designed for target-rich, high-clutter, scenarios in which state-of-the-art trackers will have impractically high computational complexity during data association. DL provides a way to perform data association without combinatorial explosion, so that the complex...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Joint Tracking and Association in a Strong Clutter
We have developed an efficient algorithm for the maximum likelihood joint tracking and association problem in a strong clutter for GMTI data. By using an iterative procedure of the dynamic logic process “from vague-to-crisp,” the new tracker overcomes combinatorial complexity of tracking in highly-cluttered scenarios and results in a significant improvement in signal-to-clutter ratio.

Monopulse radarsare one of the most accurate tracking radars used to guide various platforms. Detection and tracking of surface targets with these radars are performed in order to point strike targets. Sea clutter presents challenges for detecting floated targets and in addition to affecting detection height, it can cause errors in monopulse angle finding. In this paper, the airborne monopulse ...
متن کاملMultiresolution Signal Processing Techniques for Ground Moving Target Detection Using Airborne Radar
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) exploits very high spatial resolution via temporal integration and ownship motion to reduce the background clutter power in a given resolution cell to allow detection of nonmoving targets. Ground moving target indicator (GMTI) radar, on the other hand, employs much lower-resolution processing but exploits relative differences in the space-time response between mov...
