Multistatic Doppler-Based Marine Ships Tracking
Cong-Thanh Do, Hoa Van Nguyen · 2018
Multistatic Doppler radar measurements for multiple targets are typically corrupted by noise, missed detections and false alarms. In addition, when targets are close together, it becomes more difficult for the tracker to resolve tracks due to the highly nonlinear and low observability nature of the observation. This paper proposes a solution to the problem of tracking multiple marine ships from multistatic Doppler measurements. We use close form labeled multitarget Bayes filter, which can accommodate unknown and time-varying number of targets, clutter misdetection and association uncertainty. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is illustrated via numerical simulation examples.
