Abstract: | Tracking ground moving targets with ground moving target indicator (GMTI) measurements only could face a potential problem of losing tracks or track mingling, if the targets move together within the range of GMTI sensing uncertainty for an extended period of time. We propose a remedy for this problem by using local motion features extracted from high resolution range (HRR) profiles to assist data association. Unlike other HRR features, the new local motion features carry both spatial and temporal information and are ideal for feature aided tracking. A probabilistic logic based tracker is developed for local motion feature aided tracking. |
