Cubature Kalman probability hypothesis density filter based on multi-sensor consistency fusion

The GM-PHD framework as recursion realization of PHD filter is extensively applied to multi-target tracking system. A new idea of improving the estimation precision of time-varying multi-target in non-linear system is proposed due to the advantage of computation efficiency in this paper. First, a novel cubature Kalman probability hypothesis density filter is designed for single sensor measurement system under the Gaussian mixture framework. Second, the consistency fusion strategy for multi-sensor measurement is proposed through constructing consistency matrix. Furthermore, to take the advantage of consistency fusion strategy, fused measurement is introduced in the update step of cubature Kalman probability hypothesis density filter to replace the single-sensor measurement. Then a cubature Kalman probability hypothesis density filter based on multi-sensor consistency fusion is proposed. Capabilily of the proposed algorithm is illustrated through simulation scenario of multi-sensor multi-target tracking. Copyright © by HIGH TECHNOLOGY LETTERS PRESS.
