Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of passive target cross tracking in sonar array signal processing, in particular to a track cross target association method based on a sub-frequency band.
Background
If the target is missed or mistracked, the functions of target positioning, movement element settlement, feature analysis and recognition, listening and the like of the sonar system are realized.
The key point of effectively tracking the track crossed target is mainly the correlation method of the tracks before and after crossing and the signal to noise ratio of the weak target in the track is improved as much as possible. If the weak target can be successfully detected and the signal-to-noise ratio of the weak target is higher after detection, the probability of successful association with the track is high; if the trajectories can be correctly correlated, the target is also tracked smoothly. Therefore, how to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of weak targets in the crossed targets and how to improve the correlation accuracy before and after the track crossing are particularly important. For passive sonar, finding a method with strong target detection capability and improving the accuracy of association can also solve part or all of the problems.
The conventional detection tracking processing of the existing passive sonar mainly has the following two problems:
conventional passive detection processing: the entire frequency band is typically divided into several frequency bands. Once the design is complete, the bin width is fixed. In practice, however, for weak targets there are often limited frequency bands (but not necessarily narrow bands). If the processing frequency band is not consistent with the target frequency band, either the signal energy is not fully utilized (the processing frequency band is smaller than the target frequency band) or more noise is introduced to cause the detection capability to be reduced (the processing frequency band is larger than the target frequency band).
Conventional passive tracking: when multi-target tracking is carried out, strong targets interfere weak targets to influence the tracking of the weak targets; when the target tracks are crossed, the conventional algorithm only uses the angle of the target for tracking, and the track is often associated with a measurement error, so that the target is missed or mistakenly tracked.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects in the prior art and provides a track cross target association method based on a sub-frequency band.
The object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical means. A track cross target association method based on sub-bands comprises the steps of firstly decomposing the whole bandwidth of a broadband into a plurality of sub-bands, then respectively carrying out beam forming processing on each sub-band, then screening out target characteristic sub-bands by utilizing acoustic energy information and continuous spectrum information of different sub-bands of each target, and carrying out track association before and after target cross by utilizing characteristic sub-band information, so that the problem of multi-target tracking track cross tracking loss is solved.

(2) Characteristic sub-band screening
In the passive target detection and tracking process, the frequency spectrum characteristics of the target are not continuously stable in the whole processing frequency band. But the spectral characteristics of the target in certain sub-bands, which are defined as characteristic sub-bands, may be considered to remain stationary for a limited period of time. In a typical sub-frequency, the target may achieve a greater signal-to-noise ratio than the entire processing bin. The characteristic sub-band screening method comprises the following steps:
