Abstract

A particle filter track-before-detect algorithm based on two-stage measurement update was proposed, to deal with detection and tracking a dim target in low signal-to-noise ratio. After updating of the posterior state in particle filter, by using Kalman filter, a second-stage measurement update is executed. This improves the degree of using of particles-contained information. Simulation results show that the new algorithm obtains better detection and tracking performance.
