Abstract

We propose a sequential Monte Carlo-based cardinalized probability hypothesis density (SMC-CPHD) filter with adaptive survival probability for multiple frequency tracking to enhance the tracking performance. The survival probability of the particles in the filter is adjusted using the pre-designed exponential function related to the distribution of the estimated particle points. In order to ensure whether the proposed survival probability affects the stability of the filter, the error bounds in the prediction process are analyzed. Moreover, an inverse covariance intersection-based compensation method is added to enhance cardinality tracking performance by integrating two types of cardinality information from the CPHD filter and data clustering process. To evaluate the proposed method’s performance, MATLAB-based simulations are performed. As a result, the tracking performance of the multiple frequencies has been confirmed, and the accuracy of cardinality estimates are improved compared to the existing filters.
