Abstract

The probabilistic data association filter (PDAF) estimates the state of a target in a cluttered environment. This suboptimal Bayesian approach assumes that the exact target and measurement models are known. However, in most practical applications, there are difficulties in obtaining an exact mathematical model of the physical process. In this paper, the problem of estimating target states with uncertain measurement origins and uncertain system models in a distributed manner is considered. First, a scheme is described for local processing, then the fusion algorithm which combines the local processed results into a global one is derived. The algorithm can be applied for tracking a maneuvering target in a cluttered and low detection environment with a distributed sensor network.
