An Interval-Based Target Tracking Approach for Range-Only Multistatic Radar

This paper investigates the use of interval analysis to solve the problem of maneuvering target tracking, using range-only measures collected by a multistatic radar. The problem consists in one transmitter, and some receivers working together as a multistatic radar. The radar process is plagued by s...

Description
Summary:This paper investigates the use of interval analysis to solve the problem of maneuvering target tracking, using range-only measures collected by a multistatic radar. The problem consists in one transmitter, and some receivers working together as a multistatic radar. The radar process is plagued by several uncertainty sources that affect directly the receivers' measures. As a result, target tracking can be both imprecise and unreliable. This study presents the tracking using an interval-based approach that computes the set of all feasible configurations for the target which are consistent with the measures. The algorithm is compared to a conventional tracking method: particle filtering.
