A consensus-based square-root cubature Kalman filter for manoeuvring target tracking in sensor networks

摘要

In this paper, a novel distributed tracking method is proposed for the problem of manoeuvring target tracking in sensor networks. Firstly, an adaptive adjustment tracking model is established by extended state observer (ESO) theory. Then, the consensus-based square-root cubature Kalman filter (SCKF) algorithm is proposed in order to improve the global accuracy and stability. In addition, the integrated model could reduce the influence of measurement noise. Finally, simulation is performed to verify the effectiveness of the scheme, whereby comparison results show that the estimation accuracy of the method proposed is higher than that of the traditional ESO and SCKF.
