Abstract
In radar target tracking application, the
observation noise is usually non-Gaussian, which is also referred
to as glint noise. The performances of conventional trackers
degrade severely in the presence of glint noise. An improved
particle filter, Markov chain Monte Carlo iterated extended
Kalman particle filter (MCMC-IEKPF), is applied to this
problem. The tracking performance of the filter is evaluated and
compared to the particle filter (PF) and the Markov chain Monte
Carlo particle filter (MCMC-PF) via simulations. It is shown that
the MCMC-IEKPF has better tracking performance.
