Abstract

The current composite tracking algorithms are computationally intractable and may lose target tracks in the undetected region. In order to solve these problems, a new composite tracking algorithm based on the probability hypothesis density (PHD) algorithm is proposed. The detection region is divided into a one-sensor region, a multiple-sensor region and an undetected region. Multi-sensor PHD filters for the regions are constructed using finite sets statistics theory (FISST). Tracking initiation and tracking maintenance methods for different regions are presented. Finally, the closed-form solutions to the PHD composite tracking algorithm are derived under the linear-Gaussian conditions. Compared with the product multi-sensor PHD, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has lower computational complexity and better estimation of target states, which indicates its good prospect for application in engineering fields.
