Lab Meeting November 13, 2007 (Leo) : Tracking Multiple Targets With Correlated Measurements and Maneuvers

Tracking Multiple Targets With Correlated Measurements and Maneuvers

Author: Rogers, S.R.


Abstract:

The problem of tracking N targets with correlation in both
measurement and maneuver statistics is solved by transforming to a
coordinate frame in which the N targets are decoupled. For the case
of N identical targets, the decoupling is shown to coincide with a
transformation to a set of nested center-of-mass coordinates.
Absolute and differential tracking accuracies are compared with
suboptimal results to show the improvement that is achieved by
properly exploiting the correlation between targets.
