One Maneuvering Frequency and the Variance Adaptive Filtering Algorithm for Maneuvering Target Tracking

Aiming at improving the accuracy and quick response of the filter in nonlinear maneuvering target tracking problems, the Interacting Multiple Models Cubature Information Filter (IMMCIF) is proposed. In IMMCIF, the Cubature Information Filter (CIF) is brought into Interacting Multiple Model (IMM), which can not only improve the accuracy but also enhance the quick response of the filter. CIF is a multisensor nonlinear filtering algorithm; it evaluates the information vector and information matrix rather than state vector and covariance, which can reduce the error of nonlinear filtering algorithm. IMM disposes all the models simultaneously through Markov Chain, which can enhance the quick response of the filter. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed filter exhibits fast and smooth switching when disposing different maneuver models; it performs better than the IMMCKF and IMMUKF on tracking accuracy.

Identification Model

In the existing process of maneuvering target tracking, the target’s actual trajectory can not be foreseen precisely. A commonly attempt is under the assumption that the target’s trajectory is prefixed. The prefixed model is usually not inosculated with the target’s actual trajectory, and the target’s tracking precision can not be guaranteed. In this paper a parameter identification model is presented. This model identifies the target’s trajectory dynamically, adapts to the variation of working cycle, and covers kinds of possible state of the maneuvering target. An adaptive filtering is then employed to analyze the tracking. We call it as a whole adaptive tracking in this paper. Simulations verify that this adaptive tracking algorithm effectively improves the tracking precision.

The Common

Maneuvering target tracking is a challenge. Target’s sudden speed or direction changing would make the common filtering tracker divergence. To improve the accuracy of maneuvering target tracking, we propose a tracking algorithm based on spline fitting. Curve fitting, based on historical point trace, reflects the mobility information. The innovation of this paper is assuming that there is no dynamic motion model, and prediction is only based on the curve fitting over the measured data. Monte Carlo simulation results show that, when sea targets are maneuvering, the proposed algorithm has better accuracy than the conventional Kalman filter algorithm and the interactive multiple model filtering algorithm, maintaining simple structure and small amount of storage.

Simulation Results

According to the physical truths those are the complexity of special target maneuvering and the inconformity of maneuvering degrees in three dimensions, the problems of model mismatching and inaccuracy in traditional IMM were analysed, then a parallel filtering algorithm in three dimensions for IMM maneuvering target tracking is presented. The model set of this algorithm consists of the CV and the modified CS model, which can adaptively tracking target under different maneuvering levels; the parallel IMMs in three dimensions can update model probabilities respectively according its maneuvering reality,which ensures the accuracy of model probabilities. The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm gets higher tracking precision and decrease 1/3 computational complexity than traditional IMM. That is to say, it has a good practical prospect in maneuvering target tracking in space.
