Multiple maneuvering target tracking based on two-scan data association

An efficient two-scan data association method based on an interior point linear programming approach is analyzed. Based on this method, a new algorithm that is combined with the interacting multiple model is presented to track multiple maneuvering target. With the improved accuracy and reduced computation burden of two-scan data association, the accuracy and speed of the new algorithm presented here are improved greatly. The numerical analysis and computer simulation demonstrate the new algorithm is far more efficient than the existing IMMJPDAF algorithm.
