The state variables are decomposed into linear and non-linear parts. The particle filter is adopted to predict and estimate the nonlinear states of multi-target after dimensionality reduction, while the Kalman filter is applied to estimate the linear parts under linear Gaussian condition. Embedding the information of the linear states into the estimated nonlinear states helps to reduce the estimating variance and improve the accuracy of target number estimation. The meanshift kernel density estimation, being of the inherent nature of searching peak value via an adaptive gradient ascent iteration, is introduced to cluster particles and extract target states, which is independent of the target number and can converge to the local peak position of the PHD distribution while avoiding the errors due to the inaccuracy in modeling and parameters estimation. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can obtain higher tracking accuracy when using fewer sampling particles and is of lower computational complexity compared with the PF-PHD.展开更多

The algor...In order to improve the accuracy of free flight conflict detection and reduce the false alarm rate, an improved flight conflict detection algorithm is proposed based on Gauss-Hermite particle filter（GHPF）. The algorithm improves the traditional flight conflict detection method in two aspects：（i） New observation data are integrated into system state transition probability, and Gauss-Hermite Filter（GHF） is used for generating the importance density function.（ii） GHPF is used for flight trajectory prediction and flight conflict probability calculation. The experimental results show that the accuracy of conflict detection and tracing with GHPF is better than that with standard particle filter. The detected conflict probability is more precise with GHPF, and GHPF is suitable for early free flight conflict detection.展开更多

However, the particle impoverishment problem introduced by the resampling step, together with the high computational burden problem, may lead to performance degradation and restrain the use of SMC-PHD filter in practical applications. In this work, a novel SMC-PHD filter based on particle compensation is proposed to solve above problems. Firstly, according to a comprehensive analysis on the particle impoverishment problem, a new particle generating mechanism is developed to compensate the particles. Then, all the particles are integrated into the SMC-PHD filter framework. Simulation results demonstrate that, in comparison with the SMC-PHD filter, proposed PC-SMC-PHD filter is capable of overcoming the particle impoverishment problem, as well as improving the processing rate for a certain tracking accuracy in different scenarios.展开更多

A modified multi-target track-before-detect(TBD) method was proposed to tackle this issue using a nonstandard point observation model. The method was developed from sequential Monte Carlo(SMC)-based probability hypothesis density(PHD) filter, and it was implemented by modifying the original calculation in update weights of the particles and by adopting an adaptive particle sampling strategy. To efficiently execute the SMC-PHD based TBD method, a fast implementation approach was also presented by partitioning the particles into multiple subsets according to their position coordinates in 2D resolution cells of the sensor. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method for time-varying multi-target tracking using raw observation data.展开更多
