Distributed interacting multipattern data association tracking algorithm

摘要

A distributed interacting multipattern data association tracking algorithm is developed in this paper. Multipattern data association is based on a novel approach for tracking multiple targets using multiple patterns extracted from measurement sequences. To save the communication bandwidth. the distributed interacting multipattern data association tracking algorithm is based on exchanges of combined target tracks, which creates a unique difficulty in developing an optimal fusion algorithm. The difficulty is overcome by developing an equivalent platform model which then propagates the fused tracks needed for the distributed fusion algorithm.
