AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies suffer from large target state estimation errors in tracking highly maneuverable targets, making it difficult to effectively capture the transition patterns between rapidly changing states, resulting in insufficient tracking accuracy and real-time performance.

Method used

Abstract

A strong maneuvering target tracking method and device based on a transformer structure are provided in the application. The method comprises: encoding and position embedding of a measurement track to obtain track features with state differences; inputting the track features with state differences into a transformer encoder for single-layer state feature self-attention information extraction to obtain encoder features with different state information; inputting the encoder features with different state information and the track features with state differences into a transformer decoder for cross-attention extraction and fusion to obtain decoder features with fused different correlation information; and performing prediction processing based on the decoder features, adding a residual track obtained to a measurement track to obtain a target track. The method can learn the transition law of fast changing states better, improve the accuracy of state estimation of strong maneuvering targets, and ensure the performance of the target tracking task.
