Abstract:

To track multiple extended targets for the nonlinear system, this paper employs the idea of the particle filter to track kinematic states and shape formation of extended targets. First, the Bayesian framework is proposed for multiple extended targets to jointly estimate multiple extended target state and association hypothesis. Furthermore, a joint proposal distribution is defined for the multiple extended target state and association hypothesis. Then, the Bayesian framework of multiple extended target tracking is implemented by the particle filtering which could release the high computational burden caused by the increase in the number of extended targets and measurements. Simulation results show that the proposed multiple extended target particle filter has superior performance in shape estimation and improves the performance of the position estimation in the situation that there are spatially closed extended targets.
