Many algorithms may be applied to solve the target tracking problem, including the Kalman Filter and different types of nonlinear filters, such as the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) and Particle Filter (PF). This paper describes an intelligent algorithm that was developed to elegantly select the appropriate filtering technique depending on the problem and the scenario, based upon a sliding window of the Normalized Innovation Squared (NIS). This technique shows promise for the single target, single radar tracking problem domain. Future work is planned to expand the use of this technique to multiple targets and multiple sensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
