An infrared / Radar fusion tracking algorithm based on adaptive fault tolerant filtering

In this paper, based on the fusion tracking of infrared and radar, a federated kalman filtering algorithm based on adaptive fault tolerance is designed. According to the observation equation of infrared and radar, a distributed fusion federated kalman filtering structure is established by using three infrared sensors and three radar sensors. The sub nodes filter their detection information respectively, and the estimation results are obtained. After that, the sub nodes filter results are sent into their part of fault-tolerant judgment respectively, then we can get the weight information of each sub node, thus it can determine the degree of dependence of each node, and the filtering results of all sub nodes are fused into calculation by their weight. The final simulation shows that the algorithm can isolate the interference in the multi-mode fusion tracking process effectively, and get a stable state estimation output.
