Abstract

In the clutter environment, it is necessary to update the target tracking filter by detecting the target signal among many measured value data obtained via the radar system, the track does not diverge, and tracking performance is maintained. The method of associating the measurement most relevant to the target track among numerous measurement values is referred to as data association. PSNF and PSNF-m are data association methods of SN-series. In this paper, we provide an IPSNF-m(Integrated Probabilistic Strongest Neighbor Filter-m) algorithm with a track management method based on the track existence probability in PSNF-m algorithm. This algorithm considers not only the presence of the target but also the case where the target is present but not detected. Calculating the probability of each caseenables efficient management. In order to verify the performance of the proposed IPSNF-m, the track existence probability of the IPSNF algorithm applying the track management technique to PSNF, which is known to have similar performance to PSNF-m, is derived. Through simulation in the same environment, we compare and analyze the proposed algorithm with RMSE, Confirmed True Track, and Track Existence Probability that show better performance in terms of track retention and estimation than the existing PSNF-m and IPSNF algorithms.

클러터 환경에서는 레이다 시스템을 통해 얻어지는 많은 측정치 정보 중 표적 신호를 찾아내어 표적추적 필터를 쇄신해야 트랙이 발산하지 않고 추정성능이 유지된다. 다수의 측정치 중 표적의 트랙과 가장 연관성이 높은 측정치를 대응시키는 방법을 자료결합(Data Association)이라 한다. 자료결합 방법 중 신호세기기반 표적 추적방법에는 PSNF, PSNF-m이 있다. 본 논문에서는 PSNF-m 알고리듬에 표적의 존재 유/무에 대한 트랙존재확률 기반의 Track Management 기법을 적용한 IPSNF-m(Integrated Probabilistic Strongest Neighbor Filter-m) 알고리듬을 제안한다. 이 알고리듬은 표적 존재의 유/무 뿐만아니라 표적이 존재하지만 탐지가 되지 않을 사건 등을 고려하여 각각의 사건에 대한 확률을 구함으로써 트랙에 대하여 효율적인 관리를 가능하게 해준다. 제안하는 IPSNF-m의 성능 확인을 위해 PSNF-m과 유사한 성능을 지니는 것으로 알려진 PSNF에 Track Management 기법을 적용한 IPSNF 알고리듬의 트랙존재확률을 유도하였다. 그리고 동일한 환경에서의 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 알고리듬이 기존의 PSNF-m과 IPSNF 알고리듬보다 트랙 유지 및 추정 측면에서 우수한 성능을 나타내는 것을 RMSE, Confiremd True Track, 트랙존재확률을 통해 비교 및 분석하였다.
