Multi-Resolution Multi-Model Tracking Algorithm Based on Model-Mixing

A model-mixing approach has been introduced into the original multi-resolution multi-model algorithm and a new maneuvering target tracking algorithm based on multi-resolution multi-model method is proposed. The original algorithm adopts hard switching multi-model approach in the multi-resolution frame. It can improve the performance in the nonmaneuvering segment, but it remains the inherent defaults of the hard switching method. The interactive multi-model algorithm can avoid this default because of model-mixing, but its performance isn-t good during non-maneuvering. The new algorithm combines the advantages of the original multi-resolution algorithm and that of the interactive multi-model algorithm. It can not only solve the problems existed in the original algorithm, but also achieve to a better performance than IMM algorithm during the entire tracking procedure.
