Abstract

Abstract

In the 3D maneuvering target tracking, unknown prior and coordinate coupling errors can cause model-mode mismatch and state estimation bias. In this paper, the state transition matrices are modified based on the target velocity-orthogonal condition, the spherical feasible domain is approximated by using the primal-dual regularization, and the adaptive turn rate model is combined in the frame of Unscented Kalman Filtering (UKF) to estimate the model-conditioned state, attaining the consistent output processing. 3D Variable Structure Multi-Model UKF (VSMMUKF) algorithm is derived. Simulation results show that, compared to the Multimode Importance UKF (MIUKF) algorithm, VSMMUKF can more accurately fit the maneuvering motion of 3D spatial point target with the comparable computational complexity; Compared to the Interactive Multi-model Maximum Minimum Particle Filtering (IMM-MPF) algorithm, the filtering accuracy of VSMMUKF for tracking a fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has improved by 2.8%～59.9%, and the overall computation burden has reduced an order of magnitude.
