Track initiation algorithm based on Hough transform is an effective method on condition of strong clutter environment. But due to the influence of measurement error and the selection of parameter space threshold, the problems of clutter points mix in target tracks and multiple tracks initialized by only one target are existed. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a track initiation algorithm based on Hough transform and space accumulation. The algorithm firstly using Hough transform for the preliminary screening of the original data. And then the obtained primary measurement data would be accumulated on data space. Finally, the threshold detection is used to judge whether to initial track. Algorithm effectively reduces the clutter points mixed in target tracks and solves the problem of multiple tracks initialized by only one target. Simulation results show that the algorithm can initial the target track effectively.
