Abstract

When a tracking filter may be designed in the Cartesian coordinate, the covariance of the measurement errors varies according to the range and the bearing of an interested target. In this paper, interacting multiple model based tracking filter is formulated in the Cartesian coordinate utilizing the analytic solution of the steady state Kalman filter, which can be able to consider the variation of the measurement error covariance. 100 Monte Carlo runs performed to verify the proposed method. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the conventional fixed gain and Kalman filter based IMM tracking filter in terms of the root mean square error. The simulation results show that the proposed approach meaningfully reduces the computation time and provides a similar tracking performance in comparison with the conventional Kalman filter based IMM tracking filter.

본 논문에서는 직교 좌표계에서 추적필터가 설계될 때, 표적의 거리와 방위에 대한 관측오차 공분산의 변화를 고려하기 위하여 정상상태 칼만필터의 해석적 해를 이용하는 IMM 추적기를 설계하였다. 제안된 정상상태 칼만필터 기반 IMM 추적기의 성능분석 및 검증을 위하여 거리의 변화가 작은 표적과 거리의 변화가 큰 표적에 대하여 각각 100회의 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션을 수행하고, 고정이득 및 칼만필터 기반의 IMM 추적기와 RMS 오차분석을 통하여 비교하였다. 모의실험 결과로부터 제안된 방법이 칼만필터 기반 IMM 추적필터에 비하여 연산량을 크게 감소시킬 수 있으며, 유사한 추적성능을 제공할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
