Tóm tắt

An adaptive limited memory approach (ALMA) is proposed to deal with the data initial association problem in tracking-while-scanning systems in high clutter environments. By using measurements in the window limited memory and exploiting the target detection probability and receiver noise sampling information, the initial track number is estimated. It in turn can be adopted to adjust the initial correlation region and the normalized residual square threshold adaptively; many false initial trajectories are therefore restrained. Computer simulation demonstrates that the real time data initial association problem can be settled by a combination of radar's dynamic characteristics and limited window measurements.
