Abstract

Tracking initiation issue under bearing-only sensor networks is studied. A mechanism for tracking initiation based on probability is proposed, aiming at solving problem under measuring environment with false alarm and undetected. The mechanism is achieved by two phases including target localization and target confirm. In target localization phase, Multiple Target Probability Localization algorithm is proposed to estimate target initial state, providing new thinking for multi-target localization under bearing-only measurements which distinguishes the true target localizations from the false ones relatively by probability. In target confirm phase, target probability is introduced as judgment for tracking initiation and a recursive algorithm under multi-sensor is provided. The simulation shows that the proposed mechanism can be well-work under different settings and the required computation is limited which is suitable for WSN.
