Fundamental Model Simulation for Highly Maneuvering Target Tracking

This article provides an in-depth exploration of fundamental model simulation for highly maneuvering target tracking. We will examine both constant velocity and constant acceleration motion models, and discuss the implementation of Monte Carlo filtering techniques in simulations. The constant velocity model typically involves state variables for position and velocity, implemented through linear kinematic equations, while the constant acceleration model extends this with additional acceleration components using second-order motion equations. Our Monte Carlo filtering implementation will demonstrate particle filter approaches that handle nonlinear systems and non-Gaussian noise through sequential importance sampling and resampling mechanisms. Additionally, we will explore other topics related to maneuvering target tracking, including sensor system configurations and control algorithm architectures, along with methods for optimizing tracking algorithms to adapt to various application scenarios. By thoroughly investigating these subjects, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles behind maneuvering target tracking and establish a solid foundation for future research and development efforts. Key MATLAB functions that may be employed include kalmanFilter for basic tracking implementations and particleFilter for Monte Carlo approaches, with customization opportunities for model-specific adaptations.
