Abstract

ABSTRACTThe input detection and estimation methods in the manoeuvring target tracking (MTT) application need algorithms for manoeuvring detection and covariance resetting. This algorithm causes an improper delay in target states tracking. In this paper, for solving this problem, unknown but bounded approach for uncertainties modelling is used and a different state space model is developed. In this model, target acceleration is treated as an augmented state in the corresponding state equation. By using interval mathematics, the linearisation error is bounded by an ellipsoidal set and considered in the model development. In augmented state equations, the MTT problem converted to non-manoeuvring target tracking problem. Therefore, the set membership filter is rearranged and used for simultaneous target state and manoeuvre estimation. Furthermore, estimated convex set boundedness is analysed and an upper bound for the estimation error is calculated. The theoretical development of the proposed method is verified with numerical simulations, which contain examples of tracking various manoeuvring targets. The simulation result of the proposed method is compared with traditional input estimation methods. The comparison shows the acceptable performance of the proposed method in the simultaneous estimation of the target acceleration and state vector for the manoeuvring and non-manoeuvring scenarios.
