This invention discloses a piecewise adaptive Kalman track tracking method and apparatus based on residual classification, relating to the field of
radar track tracking technology. Addressing the problems of poor adaptability to non-stationary measurement
noise environments, parameter dependence on human experience, and complex FPGA implementation in existing track tracking methods, this invention proposes introducing a residual classification decision and piecewise adaptive
noise adjustment mechanism into the
Kalman filter recursive framework. First, a residual vector is calculated based on the predicted state and measurement data. Then, a classification decision is made using the residual vector, the predicted
covariance, and the measurement
noise covariance of the previous cycle, outputting the measurement
quality level. Next, the measurement noise
covariance is updated piecewise adaptively based on the measurement
quality level. Finally, the
filter gain is calculated based on the updated measurement noise covariance and the predicted covariance to complete the correction and update of the state and covariance.
