Abstract

In this paper, a new interacting multiple model fuzzy probabilistic data association (IMM-FPDA) algorithm is proposed for tracking maneuvering target. In the proposed tracker, fuzzy logic is incorporated in a conventional IMM-PDA method. In order to determine process noise covariance of the Kalman filter used in IMM-PDA, the prediction error and change of the prediction error in the last prediction are used as fuzzy inputs. To optimize parameters of the fuzzy system, a tabu search algorithm is utilized. The IMM-FPDA tracker combines advantages of the FPDA and IMM algorithms. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with those of the IMM and PDA-IMM algorithms using two different maneuvering tracking scenarios. It is shown from simulation results that the IMM-FPDA algorithm greatly outperforms the IMM and IMM-PDA algorithms in terms of tracking error. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
