Simulation Results

A novel interacting multiple model based on BLUE filter (IMM-BLUE) for tracking a maneuvering target using radar/ESM heterogeneous sensors is presented in this paper. Under the architecture of the proposed algorithm, the interacting multiple model (IMM) deals with the model switching, while the BLUE filter accounts for non-linearity in the dynamic system models. The simulation results show that the presented IMM-BLUE has higher tracking precision than the IMM-DCM, and IMM-EKF.

Simulation Results

A new algorithm is proposed for tracking a maneuvering target in clutter using heterogeneous sensors, such as active and passive sensors, which are carried on single moving airborne platform and report their observations asynchronously. The algorithm combining interacting multiple model (IMM) with probabilistic data association filter (PDAF) is sequentially implemented to cope with asynchronous reports. In addition, in order to close to practice, the algorithm is based on Earth-centered Earth-fixed (ECEF) coordinate system while it considers the effect of the platform’s attitude. So the algorithm extends previous algorithms from synchronous case to asynchronous case, from fixed station to moving airborne platform, and from local Cartesian coordinates to general ECEF coordinates. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a broader and more practical scope while being slightly worse than existing algorithm which only be applied under synchronous case.

For improving the tracking accuracy and model switching speed of maneuvering target tracking in nonlinear systems, a new algorithm named interacting multiple model fifth-degree spherical simplex-radial cubature filter (IMM5thSSRCKF) is proposed in this paper. The new algorithm is a combination of the interacting multiple model (IMM) filter and fifth-degree spherical simplex-radial cubature filter (5thSSRCKF). The proposed algorithm makes use of Markov process to describe the switching probability among the models, and uses 5thSSRCKF to deal with the state estimation of each model. The 5thSSRCKF is an improved filter algorithm, which utilizes the fifth-degree spherical simplex-radial rule to improve the filtering accuracy. Finally, the tracking performance of the IMM5thSSRCKF is evaluated by simulation in a typical maneuvering target tracking scenario. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better tracking performance and quicker model switching speed when disposing maneuver models compared with IMMUKF, IMMCKF and IMM5thCKF.

Markov Jump Linear Systems

A new maneuvering target tracking algorithm is investigated, which is modeled as a class of Markov jump linear systems (MJLS). Drawing on the experience of combination idea of the extended Viterbi algorithm (EV) and the interacting multiple model algorithm (IMM), a modular interacting multiple model based on extended Viterbi (MIMMEV) is presented. The MIMMEV algorithm consists ofNindependent interacting multiple model-extended Viterbi (IMM-EV). Furthermore, these IMM-EV filters are independent and working in parallel in the MIMMEV algorithm. According to the derived probability, the estimated state of every moment is the weighted sum of each estimator at the corresponding time. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm improves the tracking precision and reduces the computational burden compared with traditional IMM and IMM-EV.
