Multiple target tracking with particle filtering in UWB radar sensor networks

摘要

In this paper, a particle filtering algorithm is proposed for the challenging problem of multiple target tracking in ultra-wideband (UWB) radar sensor networks. The particle weights are derived analytically for the case of one transmitter and several receivers. The performance of the proposed particle algorithm is then evaluated through numerical results with comparison to the well-known Kalman filter. The scenarios account for the spatial configuration of the receivers, propagation effects, presence of clutter and noise.
