Abstract
Scatterer trajectory association is a critical step of 3-D target reconstruction from the inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) image sequence. To cope with the complex scatterer trajectory association of the noncooperative target, a novel method based on multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT) algorithm is proposed. First, the scatterer trajectory association situation is modeled as a multiple hypothesis tree, in which each branch represents a possible association. Then, to generate the hypothesis in each specific branch, a general trajectory motion model is constructed and the parameters are estimated based on the current trajectory association situation. The parameter estimation precision will increase with the growth of the trajectory length. Besides, to eliminate the influence of inaccurate association initialization and direction selection, a fusion algorithm is proposed to merge the forward and backward associated trajectories. Finally, experimental results based on the simulated data and electromagnetic data verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.
