Abstract
In environments with a low signal-to-reverberation ratio (SRR) characterized by fluctuations in clutter number and distribution, particle filter-based tracking methods may experience significant fluctuations in the posterior probability of existence. This can lead to interruptions or even loss of the target trajectory. To address this issue, an adaptive PF-based tracking method (APF) with joint reverberation suppression is proposed. This method establishes the state space model under the Bayesian framework and implements it through particle filtering. To keep the weak target echoes, all the non-zero entries contained in the sparse matrix processed by the low-rank and sparsity decomposition (LRSD) are treated as the measurements. The prominent feature of this approach is introducing an adaptive measurement likelihood ratio (AMLR) into the posterior update step, which solves the problem of unstable tracking due to the strong fluctuation in the number of point measurements per frame. The proposed method is verified by four shallow water experimental datasets obtained by an active sonar with a uniform horizontal linear array. The results demonstrate that the tracking frame success ratio of the proposed method improved by over 14% compared with the conventional PF tracking method.
