Some fusion criteria in multisensor and multitarget motion tracking cannot be directly applied to nonlinear motion models, as the fusion accuracy applied in nonlinear systems is relatively low. In response to the above issue, this study proposes a distributed Gaussian mixture cardinality jumping Markov-cardinalized probability hypothesis density (GM-JMNS-CPHD) filter based on a generalized inverse covariance intersection. The state estimation of the JMNS-CPHD filter combines the state evaluation of traditional CPHD filters with the state estimation of jump Markov systems, estimating the target state of multiple motion models without knowing the current motion models. The performances of the generalized covariance intersection (GCI)GCI-GM-JMNS-CPHD and generalized inverse covariance intersection (GICI)GICI-GM-JMNS-CPHD methods are evaluated via simulation results. The simulation results show that, compared with algorithms such as Sensor1, Sensor2, GCI-GM-CPHD, and GICI-GM-CPHD, this algorithm has smaller optimal subpattern assignment (OSPA) errors and a higher fusion accuracy.
