Background
In passive positioning systems, multiple observations may be obtained from one detection due to the presence of environmental noise and random disturbances, and of these observations it is not known which are from the tracked targets and which are false observations; and when a plurality of target objects need to be observed, some observed values far away from the predicted value of the motion state of the target object also do not determine which target object belongs to, which requires that the observed values are associated with the target objects, and is called data association.

However, the positioning error is too large at the initial stage of the track, and the filtering cannot achieve a stable convergence effect, so that if the predicted value of the track measurement is used for correlation with the real measurement, the correlation error is easy to occur, and the final error correlation of the whole track is seriously caused.

Detailed Description
Radar data processing and radar signal processing are important components in modern radar systems. The signal processing is used for detecting the target, and various useful information of the target such as distance, speed, shape of the target and the like are acquired by a certain method. The data processing can further process the track points and the tracks of the targets, predict the positions of the targets at the future time, and form reliable target tracks, so that real-time tracking of the targets is realized.
The radar data processing comprises a plurality of main links such as point trace aggregation, track initiation, target tracking, multi-target association and the like. Two basic problems studied by the method are point trace-to-point trace and point trace-to-track association problems under different environments. The former relates to track initiation, and focuses on control of a track relevant range and selection of a relevant algorithm; the latter involves target tracking, focusing on the application of target motion models and filtering algorithms. The purpose of radar data processing is to estimate the track of the target and to give the position of the target at the next moment using the information of the target provided by the radar.
The radar data processing process mainly comprises data preprocessing, track initiation, data association, tracking filtering, track extinction, quality evaluation and the like.
The input data of radar data processing is also called observation, which is not data obtained by direct scanning of the radar, but data obtained by firstly processing radar signals and then obtaining the data by a data recorder. Typical observations include radar scan period, radar scan batch, number of targets scanned per batch, and specific information (radial distance, azimuth angle, pitch angle) for each target. In practical engineering, observations are generally contaminated with noise, these contamination coming mainly from the following aspects:
1) Random false alarms exist in the scanning process;
2) Clutter generated by false targets;
3) An interference target;
4) Baits, and the like.
Although the modern radar signal processing technology has been greatly developed, some interference is doped in the observation after signal processing, and the quantity of general observation data is large, so that the requirements on the storage and processing of subsequent computers are high. The data preprocessing is to screen one data before the observed data is subjected to other data processing processes such as starting, association and the like, reject the data which are not in the threshold, and only the data which pass through all the decision threshold are reserved.
The observation data preprocessing has the advantages that the scale of data in the subsequent data processing process is obviously reduced, the calculated amount is greatly reduced, the burden of a computer can be lightened to a certain extent, the data processing speed and the target tracking precision are improved, and meanwhile, the possibility of forming false tracks is reduced.
The wave gate is an important concept in the data processing process, and the concept is used in the track initiation process, the data association process and the like. The wave gate is a region, and is generally divided into an initial wave gate and an associated wave gate.
The initial gate is typically used in the initial stage of the track, and is a region centered at any point that defines a spatial range in which the target's observations may occur. Because the track is initially a relatively long distance from the target, the initial gate typically establishes a large gate for better target capture.
The correlation gate is a spatial region centered on the predicted value of the tracked object, and defines the range in which the observed value of the tracked object may appear. The shape and size of the relevant waveforms are determined on the one hand so that there is a high probability of a real observation falling into the gate, and on the other hand so that too many irrelevant observation tracks are not allowed in the relevant gate. The size of the associated gate should generally match the type of target, e.g. the gate of a fixed target generally depends only on the accuracy of the observation, the gate of a linear target depends on the accuracy of the observation and the prediction filter, and the gate of a maneuvering target also takes into account acceleration factors, etc. The related wave gates which are commonly used are rectangular wave gates, annular wave gates, elliptic wave gates, sector wave gates under a polar coordinate system and the like.
Track initiation refers to the process of establishing a first point of track for a target, i.e., track establishment from a target falling within radar detection range to the target. The track initiation process is an important link in the radar data processing process. Colloquially speaking, "the good beginning is half of success", on the contrary, if the track is not successfully started, the track is not successfully established, and the reliable track is not established, so that the accurate tracking of the target cannot be realized.
The track initiation process is one of important links in the radar data processing process, one of the tasks of the track initiation is to quickly establish a track for a target entering a radar power zone, and the other task is to avoid false points as far as possible from establishing false tracks. However, in order to avoid the establishment of false tracks, the establishment needs to be initiated for a long time, and a certain contradiction exists between the two tasks, namely the contradiction of speed and quality, so that an optimal compromise needs to be found between the two tasks. The track initiation algorithm is a plurality of, and more commonly used methods include an intuitive method, a logic method, a corrected logic method and the like.
In an ideal object motion model, the observation environment is always considered "clean", only one observation is detected at a time, and this observation is from the object being tracked. But in practical systems the environment is not ideal. Due to the existence of factors such as observation noise, false alarms and the like can occur, and in addition, clutter can occur in the area where the target possibly appears due to random interference existing in the observed area. In summary, one detection may result in multiple observations, and of these observations, it is not known which are from tracked objects and which are false observations. This factor determines that the data correlation process is an important element in radar data processing systems.
When only one target exists in the radar scanning area and no interference exists, only one point trace exists in the relevant wave gate of the target, and at the moment, the problem of data association does not exist. However, when multiple targets appear in the radar scanning area or clutter exists, the same point trace may fall into multiple wave gates or multiple point traces may appear in the same wave gate, and this involves a problem of data association. The data association is to judge the relation between the radar observation data at a certain moment and the observation data at other moments or the existing tracks, so that the track point and track pairing process is realized.
In general, data association can be divided into the following cases, depending on the objects associated with each other:
1) Track initiation: the trace points are interconnected with the trace points;
2) Track updating: the interconnection of the points and the track (track prediction points) can also be called track maintenance;
3) Track fusion: the track is interconnected with the track.
There are many data association methods, and they can be roughly classified into two types, one is a bayesian type data association algorithm, and the other is a maximum likelihood type data association algorithm. The Bayesian algorithm mainly comprises a nearest domain algorithm, a probability data association algorithm and the like, and is based on Bayesian criteria. The maximum likelihood algorithm mainly comprises an aviation integral fork method, a combined maximum likelihood algorithm and the like, and the maximum likelihood algorithm is based on the likelihood ratio of the observation sequence.
The embodiment of the application provides a multi-target data association tracking method and a related device for a fixed single station, which can determine a second actual observed value set of each target object from first actual observed value sets of at least two target objects by using different association center values according to different characteristics of tracks at different stages of tracks, so that data association is more accurately carried out on observed values of the multi-target objects.

It should also be understood that the term "and/or" as used in the present specification and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes such combinations.
Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a passive positioning multi-target tracking method for a fixed single station according to an embodiment of the application.
The passive positioning system acquires actual observation value sets of a plurality of target objects at different moments, wherein the actual observation values can comprise azimuth angle information, azimuth angle change rate information, doppler frequency change rate information and the like. Each actual observed value in the actual observed value sets of the plurality of target objects does not necessarily have a one-to-one correspondence with the target object, and even if the correspondence between the actual observed value at the initial time and each target object is determined due to the random disturbance and the existence of the environmental noise, the correspondence between the actual observed value at the subsequent time and each target object cannot be determined.
Through data association, the actual observation values of multiple targets can be associated with each target object, and the actual observation value corresponding to each target object at the target moment is determined.
After the data association is completed and the actual observation value of each target object corresponding to the target moment is determined, the multi-target tracking problem is converted into a single-target tracking problem, maneuvering judgment is needed to be carried out on each target object, and track initiation and track termination of each target object are determined after tracking gate rules and filtering and prediction are utilized.
After the track start and end of each target object are determined, the multiple target objects can be comprehensively analyzed, and finally the state of a system formed by the multiple target objects is determined.
Based on the architecture schematic diagram of the fixed single-station passive positioning multi-target tracking method shown in fig. 1, the embodiment of the application provides a multi-target tracking method associated with maximum likelihood data.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a step of a multi-objective data association tracking method for a fixed single station is provided in an embodiment of the present application.
201. And acquiring a first actual observation value set of at least two target objects at the target moment.
An observation station in the passive positioning system observes a moving system containing at least two target objects, and analyzes electromagnetic wave signals generated by the moving system containing at least two target objects and received by the observation station to obtain a first actual observation value set of the moving system containing at least two target objects at a target moment, wherein the first actual observation value set represents an actual observation value set corresponding to the moving system containing at least two target objects at the target moment, and the corresponding relation between each target object in the moving system and each actual observation value in the first actual observation value set is not accurately established.
202. And determining the association center of each target object according to the target time period of the target moment.
The implementation of the positioning tracking of a moving system comprising at least two target objects requires that the actual observations in a first set of actual observations representing the actual observations of the moving system as a whole are associated with each target object, i.e. that the actual observations of each target object are determined. The association center is a basis in the process of establishing association between each actual observed value in the first actual observed value set and each target object. The association center is not fixed, but rather the selection of the association center for each target object is dynamically adjusted according to the target time period in which the target object is moving at the target time.
203. A second set of actual observations for each target object is determined from the first set of actual observations based on the associated central values based on the joint maximum likelihood estimation model.
After determining a correlation center value of a target moment according to a target time period of a motion system comprising at least two target objects, taking the correlation center value as a basis for establishing correlation between each actual observed value in a first actual observed value set and each target object based on a joint maximum likelihood estimation model, determining a second actual observed value set of each target object from the first actual observed value set, wherein each actual observed value in the second actual observed value set has a corresponding relation with each target object.
204. And determining the motion state information of each target object at the target moment according to the second actual observation value set based on the single-target tracking model, wherein the motion state information is used for determining the track of each target object in the target time period.
After the association relation between each actual observed value in the first actual observed value set and each target object is established, the multi-target tracking problem is converted into a single-target tracking problem, namely, the determination of the motion state of a motion system comprising at least two target objects is converted into the determination of the motion state of each target object in the motion system. And determining the motion state information of each target object at the target moment according to the second actual observation value set corresponding to each target object based on the single-target tracking model, and determining the track of each target object in the target time period according to the motion state information of each target object at a plurality of moments so as to realize positioning and tracking of each target object.
Based on the multi-target data association tracking method of the fixed single station shown in fig. 2, in step 202, the association center of each target object may be determined according to the target time period where the target time is located in multiple manners, and according to the motion characteristics and the observation characteristics of the motion system including at least two target objects in different stages, the data association performed by determining different association centers in different stages may improve accuracy, and the selection of different association centers in different stages is described below.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a multi-objective data association method for a fixed order station.
The data association is the core of a multi-target tracking scheme, can convert a multi-target tracking problem into single-target tracking, and comprises three steps of association preprocessing, selection of an association center, calculation of information entropy uncertainty and association.
Firstly, measurement information preprocessing is carried out, a tracking wave gate is arranged, all observations received by an observation station pass through the wave gate, the correlation wave gate filters out observations with excessive errors, and the observations passing through the correlation wave gate are candidate observations.
Then, the correlation center is selected, and the initial positioning error of the fixed single station is overlarge, so that the observed grey predicted value is used as the correlation center in the initial stage of the track, and the observed predicted value is used as the correlation center after the target tracking is stable.
After the association center is determined, the association method based on uncertainty of information entropy is used for matching the observation of each target with the association center to construct association pairs, each association pair represents that each target has one observation and one pairing, and the multi-target tracking problem is converted into a single-target tracking problem.
After the data association is established, the tracking of each target is a single target tracking problem, and the tracking of the single target comprises the initial positioning, maneuvering judgment and filtering of the target.
At the track starting moment, the initial state of the target can be directly calculated by utilizing the relation between the observation of each target and the target state, the initial state of each target is taken as the starting point, and the tracking of each target track at the later moment is estimated by utilizing the observation information and a filtering algorithm.
And making a judgment of target maneuver before updating the target state by using an observation and filtering algorithm. When the maneuvering target is detected, the covariance is adaptively adjusted and then filtered, so that tracking of the maneuvering target is completed.
And finally, carrying out state update estimation on the targets in the associated pair by using a filtering algorithm and observation in the associated pair.
The initial stage of the track in the embodiment of fig. 3 will be described below based on the embodiment of fig. 2, with the use of different association centers at different stages in the embodiments of fig. 2 and 3.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating another step of the multi-objective data association tracking method of the fixed single station in the track initiation stage, and step 202 in fig. 4 includes step 2021 and step 2022.
2021. When the target time period indicates that at least two target objects are in the track initial stage, a gray prediction value of each target object at the target moment is determined based on the gray prediction model.
When the target time period of the current target time of at least two target objects represents the track initial stage, the last n times of measurement which are successfully associated are used as prediction preparation data, and then a gray prediction model is used for obtaining a group of prediction data. The gray predictive model is a mathematical model that can be built with little, incomplete information and then used to predict the next predicted value. Currently, typical gray prediction methods are numerous, such as regression analysis.
Firstly, accumulating, namely accumulating the data at the previous moment in sequence to form a new number sequence, and setting the original number sequence as
z(0)=(z(0)(0),z(0)(1),…z(0)(k)) (1)
The one-time accumulation generation is expressed as:
GM (1.1) is one of the gray prediction systems, a first order differential equation model, which is in the form of:
the prediction formula is as follows:
Defined by the derivative:
when Δt takes 1, so:
The solving formulas for obtaining the predicted value by the arrangement formula (4) and the formula (6) are as follows:
the corresponding predicted value of k+1 time is:
2022. And determining the grey predicted value as the association center value.
And after the grey predicted value is obtained based on the grey predicted model, taking the grey predicted value as an associated central value of the target object at the target moment in the track initial stage.
Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the actual observed value corresponding to each object is determined according to the association center value, and specifically, the correlation wave gate is used for screening from the first actual observed value set.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating another step of the multi-target data association tracking method of the fixed single station, and step 203 in fig. 5 includes steps 2031 to 2033.
2031. And determining the relevant wave gate of each target object according to the grey predicted value.
The observation of the single target should be carried out through an associated wave gate, the gray predicted value of each target object at the target moment is taken as the wave gate center of each target object, and the associated wave gate of each target object at the target moment can be determined after the wave gate shape is determined.
It should be noted that the shape of the wave gate may be selected from a plurality of shapes, such as an elliptic wave gate or a square wave gate, and the fixed single-station multi-target tracking scheme in this embodiment selects the elliptic wave gate as the relevant wave gate.
2032. And determining a candidate observation value set of each target object from the first actual observation value set according to the correlation wave gate.
The correlation gate can limit the number of observations participating in correlation discrimination and filter out observations with excessive errors. Each target object has a correlation gate, and the candidate observation value set of each target object can be screened from the first actual observation value set according to the correlation gate of each target object.
2033. And determining a second actual observation set according to the candidate observation set and the gray predicted value based on the combined maximum likelihood estimation model.
After the candidate observation value set of each target object is determined, a second actual observation value set of each target object is determined according to the candidate observation value set and the gray predicted value of each target object based on the combined maximum likelihood estimation model.
In connection with the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the determination of the second actual observation set for each target object from the candidate observation set for each target object in the embodiment of the present application will be described below.
Referring to fig. 6, step 2033 in fig. 6 includes steps 20331 to 20333.
20331. And calculating the difference value between the gray predicted value and each candidate observation value in the candidate observation value set.
The matrix consisting of m targets and n measurement indexes of the system is set as follows:
where lambda ij represents the jth measurement index of the jth target.
Taking the difference between the measured value and the measured predicted value in the matrix A, and then taking the absolute value, and marking as:
Wherein Delta ij represents the difference between the jth measurement index of the target i and its corresponding predicted value, i.e
20332. And based on the information entropy calculation model, taking the difference value as input to obtain the expansion uncertainty of each candidate observation value.
The information entropy is a measure of the disorder degree of the system, and assuming that the system comprises a plurality of measurement indexes j (j=1, 2, …, n), and the specific gravity occupied by a single measurement index of each target i (i=1, 2, …, m) is p ij, the entropy of the measurement index is defined as follows:
When (when) The maximum entropy can be expressed as:
H=log2mj max (13)
therefore, if the information entropy of the measurement index is smaller, the amount of information provided by the measurement index is larger.
The j-th measurement index of the target i has the following specific weight:
The extended uncertainty of the first measurement index is defined as:
if s is larger, the measurement index has a larger effect in the process of target tracking.
20333. Based on the joint maximum likelihood estimation model, a second set of actual observations is determined from the extended uncertainty of each of the effective observations.
Assume that state estimation of n targets is obtained at time k-1M k measurements at time k pass through the associated threshold, and the set of all confirmed measurements at time k is recorded as:
Determining the event of the j-th measurement in the measurement set belonging to the target i at the moment k as Dividing the measurement in each wave gate into a plurality of possible divisions
For some division thereof. The measurements within the feasible division r should meet the following requirements:
And is also provided with
For empty sets, the above equation indicates that a measurement can only belong to one track.
For each possible partition r, an event may be defined
Θ (r) = { dividing measurement combination r is true } (20)
The set of all possible partitions can be defined as:
Γ={r} (21)
And using the uncertainty of the information entropy as the measurement distance between the first index of a certain measurement division and the first index of the measurement predicted value.
The result of uncertainty of information entropy is complex, and the modulo result represents the measurement distance of the first index of a measurement division and the index corresponding to the measurement predicted value, namely
The improved uncertainty of the information entropy better reflects the difference between a certain index of measurement division and measurement prediction. The smaller the uncertainty, the closer the first index of the measurement division is to the index corresponding to the measurement predicted value.
