An Improved Sequential Initiation Method for Multitarget Track in Clutter with Large Noise Measurement

الملخص EN

This paper proposes an improved sequential method for underwater multiple objects tracks initiation in clutter, estimating the initial position for the trajectory.

The underwater environment is complex and changeable, and the sonar data are not very ideal.

When the detection distance is far, the error of measured data is also great.

Besides that, the clutter has a grave effect on the tracks initiation.

So it is hard to initialize a track and estimate the initial position.

The new tracks initiation is that when at least six of ten points meet the requirements, then we determine that there is a new track and the initial states of the parameters are estimated by the linear least square method.

Compared to the conventional tracks initiation methods, our method not only considers the kinematics information of targets, but also regards the error of the sonar sensors as an important element.

Computer simulations confirm that the performance of our method is very nice.
