【 摘 要 】

This paper investigates the problem of unknown input estimation such as acceleration, target class, and maneuvering target tracking using a hybrid algorithm. One of the challenges of unknown input estimation is that no effective method has been presented so far that could be applied to general cases. The available methods are ineffective when the range of variation of the unknown input parameter is large. Also, the issue of determining the system class could improve the performance of the tracking algorithms in many applications. Using the Bayesian theory, the posterior distribution functions of state and parameter could be obtained concurrently. In the proposed algorithm, Liu and West and multimode filters are used for unknown parameters’ estimation, and particle filter is used to estimate the posterior density function. Parameter estimation and mode determination could be used in the resampling phase to weight the particles in accordance with the target mode. The main advantage of the adaptive parameter estimation approach is its ability to provide a quick estimation of the abruptly changing parameters from noninformative prior knowledge and to do this for multiple unknown parameters. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than the other input estimation and tracking methods.
