Description
Summary:An adaptive constant acceleration (ACA) model is proposed for the maneuvering target tracking problem. Based on the Taylor series expansion of acceleration, we establish the relationship between the Jerk and the velocity as well as the acceleration so that the maneuvering acceleration variance is approximated by the components in the state error covariance matrix. Then, the latter one is connected with the process noise, and the adaptive adjustment of the ACA model is realized. Combining with the strong tracking square-root cubature filter (ST-SCKF) in our previous work, an ACA-ST-SCKF is developed. The simulation results show that the proposed filter possesses better adaptability, tracking accuracy and lower computational complexity compared with the adaptive current statistical (ACS) model-based ST-SCKF, the modified CS (MCS) model-based ST-SCKF, and the IMM-based STF-SCKF.
