Abstract

The well-known probabilistic data association (PDA) filter handles the uncertainty in measurement origins inherent in tracking-in-clutter problems by using a probabilistically weighted sum of all measurements in the gate. In fact, the measurements in the gate may or may not include the one originated from the target. As such, two hypothetical models can be set up, corresponding to the events that the target measurements is and is not in the gate, respectively. This paper present an approach that integrates the PDA filter with the multiple-order method in a coherent manner based on the use of the above two hypothetical models. It is shown theoretically that the standard PDA filter is a special case of the first-order Generalized Pseudo Bayesian algorithm in the proposed formulation using a particular set of model transition probabilities. It is then proposed to adopt the superior interacting multiple-model architecture in this new formulation to improve the performance. The new algorithm is capable of achieving better performance by tuning the transition probabilities at a computational complexity comparable to that of the PDA filter. Simulation results are provided.
