Tracking of multiple maneuvering targets in clutter using multiple sensors, IMM, and JPDA coupled filtering
JITENDRA K. TUGNAIT · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems · 2004
We consider the problem of tracking multiple maneuvering targets in clutter using switching multiple target motion models. A novel suboptimal filtering algorithm is developed by applying the basic interacting multiple model (IMM) approach, the joint probabilistic data association (JPDA) technique and coupled target state estimation to a Markovian switching system. The algorithm is illustrated via a simulation example involving tracking of two highly maneuvering, at times closely spaced, targets.
