[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a radar network multi-target positioning and tracking method in a complex electromagnetic environment based on minimum error entropy, and the method includes:

[0047] Step S1, constructing a multi-target motion state model based on the target state, state transfer matrix, and motion process noise of the target motion, and generating a target state set and a target observation set based on the multi-target motion state model and random set description.

[0048] First, the target motion process is modeled. In practical applications, it is difficult to establish a completely accurate target motion model due to the imperfection of prior information and the random maneuver of the target. This project is based on a variety of basic motion models. It describes the noise and uncertainty between the actual motion process and the target motion model through motion process noise and multi-model weighting methods. While approximating the actual motion process of the target, it is also convenient for mathematical processing. The target state transfer equation is:

[0049] X(k+1)=FX(k)+GW(k);

[0050] Among them, X(k+1) is the target state at time k+1, X(k) is the target state at time k, F is the state transfer matrix, G is the gain matrix, and W(k) is the process noise. Different motion models have different transfer matrices and gain matrices. For the modeling of multi-target motion states, all individual target state sets are regarded as a set-valued state in the finite set statistics framework, and all measurement value sets obtained from one observation are regarded as set-valued measurements. After modeling the set-valued state and set-valued measurement as random finite sets, the optimal Bayesian filtering technology can be used to realize the time-varying number of multi-target estimation under the conditions of association uncertainty, detection uncertainty and false alarm clutter, and the multi-target Bayesian filter is derived.

[0051] Multiple target states and measurements can be expressed in the form of a set. The target state set described by a random set (RFS) is expressed as follows:

[0052]

[0053] The state space is shown above. Similarly, the observation set described by RFS is expressed as follows:

[0054]

[0055] The state vectors of the n targets are x1,...,xn respectively, and the multi-target state random set can be expressed as X = {x1,...,xn n In this embodiment, the multi-target tracking task is to establish a mapping θ relationship between the target state and the measurement set, use a specific measurement in the corresponding measurement random set to calculate the likelihood function g of the target state update, and solve the posterior estimate of each target state in the Bayesian estimation framework. Therefore, the multi-platform multi-target RFS observation set can be expressed as {Z1,...Z m}.

[0056] This embodiment models the multi-target motion states, attribute categories, and multi-source signal information measurements, and the modeling model is used to calculate the error entropy and equivalent likelihood based on the measurements. In this embodiment, the multi-target tracking task needs to establish a mapping θ relationship between the target state and the measurement set, and use a specific measurement in the corresponding measurement random set to calculate the likelihood function g of the target state update, and solve the posterior estimate of each target state in the Bayesian estimation framework.

[0057] Integrated processing of signal information within the framework of random finite sets can effectively improve the accuracy of target kinematic modeling, data association accuracy, and motion state estimation accuracy, especially in conditions such as missed detection, dense clutter, and close-range multi-target scenarios, where it is difficult to achieve timely detection, stable tracking, and accurate classification based on single sensor measurements. The following is the Bayesian filter tracking result of two close-range targets. It can be seen that the estimated tracks of the two targets overlap or alternate with each other, making it impossible to distinguish the targets and difficult to meet the index requirements.

[0058] In order to integrate the measurement of multi-source signal information, the state and measurement are first expanded. Assume that the radar position measurement is z = θ a ,θ e ,r T ,θ a is the azimuth angle, θ e is the pitch angle, r is the distance, the state vector x=(x,l), is the position, velocity and acceleration state of each coordinate axis, and l is the track label. Introducing the attribute measurement amplitude feature a and the target signal-to-noise ratio d, the measurement and state are expanded to obtain the augmented measurement Augmented State The target identity (category, attribute) label and the track label form a mixed label (d, l). After the introduction of the identity label, the state space is composed of becomes in is the identity label space. The measurement space is becomes in is the attribute measurement space. The identity of the target is a static attribute, that is, the target type does not change over time, but due to the influence of the target posture and environmental changes, the target recognition result is expressed in the form of a probability vector to represent the possibility that the target belongs to a certain category. In order to avoid the misjudgment caused by hard decisions, the target type is expressed by probability vector, that is, soft decision.

[0059] Step S2: Based on the target state set and the target observation set, use the minimum error entropy algorithm to calculate the equivalent position measurement likelihood function Among them, R k,n is the measurement error variance matrix of sensor n, Λ k·n is the measurement error entropy matrix of sensor n.

[0060] The minimum error entropy algorithm used in the present invention has a recursive framework. In this embodiment, an iterative algorithm for multi-sensor fusion estimation under non-Gaussian noise is proposed. When the mixed correlation cost is related to the state estimation, it is constructed and recursively calculated.

[0061] In order to improve numerical stability, this embodiment proposes a fusion estimation algorithm under the information filter framework. Assume that the Fisher information matrix is ​​V k-1 The information vector is v k-1 , the state estimate can be written as The estimated error is The state prediction can be calculated based on the state transfer equation And the variance prediction P k|k-1 .

[0062] The error entropy objective function x k Derivative the target state x, optimal estimate Satisfies the following equation:

[0064] Where, the normalized error vector Variables in formulas and A k,n They are the error entropy matrix of the predicted state and the error entropy matrix of multi-sensor measurement, which can be calculated as:

[0065]

[0066] Among them, G σ represents the Gaussian kernel function, is the sensor measurement error vector ζ k,n The elements in .

[0067] Under this estimation, the equivalent likelihood function can be obtained as:

[0068]

[0069] Among them, R k,n is the measurement error variance matrix of sensor n, Λ k·n is the measurement error entropy matrix of sensor n. Under the condition of equivalent measurement likelihood function, the posterior information matrix of the target motion state can be calculated as:

[0070]

[0071] in, is the linearized measurement matrix of sensor n, Λ k,n is the measurement error entropy matrix of sensor n, then the target motion state posterior estimation vector can be calculated as:

[0072]

[0073] Thus, we can obtain the posterior state estimate of the target

[0074] Step S3: Based on the equivalent position measurement likelihood function The target motion state model and amplitude feature information calculate the multi-target joint likelihood function, providing a basis for the calculation of the multi-target posterior state distribution of attribute expansion. Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1, assuming that the target identity or category is represented by its expected signal-to-noise ratio d, the attribute measurement amplitude feature a and the target identity d are introduced. Assuming that the target motion state x is independent of the identity d, the single target likelihood can be decomposed into:

[0075]

[0076] The former on the right side of the equation is the motion state likelihood, the latter is the attribute state likelihood, and the attribute likelihood ratio is:

[0077]

[0078] Step S4: Introduce attribute measurement amplitude features and target identity, and calculate multi-target posterior probability density based on multi-target joint likelihood function.

[0079] The target state under the attribute union can be expressed by the function p(x , d) indicates that, then, the target prediction state under attribute assistance is:

[0080]

[0081] For multi-source signal information measurement, the attribute-assisted target state likelihood function is:

[0082]

[0083] The former on the right side of the equation is the multi-source motion state likelihood, including radar distance, angle, ESM angle measurement, etc. The multi-source measurement likelihood is equal to the product of the likelihoods of each measurement. Under the condition of association q, the target posterior state distribution is:

[0084]

[0085] The multi-target posterior probability density is:

[0086]

[0087] in, is the multi-target posterior state probability distribution, is a set of multi-target track labels, is the predicted multi-target track label space, is the mapping relationship between measurement and target, is the probability weight corresponding to each mapping, For multi-target prediction Label The legality indicator function takes the value of 0 or 1. is the posterior distribution of multiple target states under the mapping Θ condition.

[0088]

[0089] Among them, w (I,q) is the probability weight corresponding to the multi-target posterior distribution under the label and measurement mapping condition, is the legitimacy indicator function of the multi-target track labels under the conditions of measurement Z and mapping Θ, and its value is 0 or 1. is the normalized likelihood function of multi-target state measurement under mapping Θ, is the multi-target posterior distribution, where x and l are the status and track labels of each target respectively, and d is the target identity label mainly corresponding to the RCS and echo intensity attributes. is the likelihood function of the target, is the normalized measurement likelihood of a single target state with track label l, P d t (x,l) is the detection probability of the target, is the likelihood function when the target exists in the measurement mapping, is a set of multiple target states, is the target echo trace intensity likelihood.

[0090] Step S5: clustering the multi-target posterior probability density to obtain the multi-target track and multi-target track status, and completing the radar network multi-target positioning and tracking in a complex electromagnetic environment based on minimum error entropy.

[0091] Cluster the multi-target density to obtain the multi-target tracks and corresponding states. Using the multi-Bernoulli random finite set model, assuming that under the Bayesian framework, the updated posterior probability density is:

[0092]

[0093] The state parameters under the multi-target track label (l) can be simplified to π = {(r (l) ,p (l) )},in:

[0094]

[0095] Embodiment 2

[0096] A radar network multi-target positioning and tracking system in a complex electromagnetic environment based on minimum error entropy, the system comprising:

[0097] The model building module is used to build a multi-target motion state model based on the target state, state transfer matrix, and motion process noise of the target motion, and to generate a target state set and a target observation set based on the multi-target motion state model and random set description.

[0098] First, the target motion process is modeled. In practical applications, it is difficult to establish a completely accurate target motion model due to the imperfection of prior information and the random maneuver of the target. This project is based on a variety of basic motion models. It describes the noise and uncertainty between the actual motion process and the target motion model through motion process noise and multi-model weighting methods. While approximating the actual motion process of the target, it is also convenient for mathematical processing. The target state transfer equation is:

[0099] X(k+1)=FX(k)+GW(k);

[0100] Among them, X(k+1) is the target state at time k+1, X(k) is the target state at time k, F is the state transfer matrix, G is the gain matrix, and W(k) is the process noise. Different motion models have different transfer matrices and gain matrices.

[0101] For the modeling of multi-target motion states, the set of all individual target states is regarded as a set-valued state in the finite set statistics framework, and the set of all measurement values ​​obtained from one observation is regarded as a set-valued measurement. After modeling the set-valued state and set-valued measurement as random finite sets, the optimal Bayesian filtering technology can be used to realize the time-varying number of multi-target estimation under the conditions of association uncertainty, detection uncertainty and false alarm clutter, and the multi-target Bayesian filter can be derived.

[0102] Multiple target states and measurements can be expressed in the form of a set. The target state set described by a random set (RFS) is expressed as follows:

[0103]

[0104] The state space is shown above. Similarly, the observation set described by RFS is expressed as follows:

[0105]

[0106] The state vectors of the n targets are x1,...,xn respectively, and the multi-target state random set can be expressed as X = {x1,...,xn n}.

[0107] Therefore, the multi-platform multi-target RFS observation set can be expressed as {Z1,...Z m This project models the motion states, attribute categories, and information measurements of multiple targets and multiple sources of signals. The modeling model is used to calculate error entropy and equivalent likelihood based on the measurements.

[0108] In this embodiment, the multi-target tracking task needs to establish a mapping θ relationship between the target state and the measurement set, use a specific measurement in the corresponding measurement random set to calculate the likelihood function g of the target state update, and solve the posterior estimate of each target state in the Bayesian estimation framework.

[0109] Integrated processing of signal information within the framework of random finite sets can effectively improve the accuracy of target kinematic modeling, data association accuracy, and motion state estimation accuracy, especially under conditions such as missed detection, dense clutter, and close-range multi-target scenarios, where it is difficult to achieve timely detection, stable tracking, and accurate classification based on single sensor measurements.

[0110] The following are the Bayesian filtering tracking results of two close targets. It can be seen that the estimated tracks of the two targets overlap or alternate with each other, making it impossible to distinguish the targets and difficult to meet the index requirements.

[0111] In order to integrate the measurement of multi-source signal information, the state and measurement are first expanded. Assume that the radar position measurement is z = θ a ,θ e ,r T ,θ a is the azimuth angle, θ e is the pitch angle, r is the distance, and the state vector is the position, velocity and acceleration state of each coordinate axis, and l is the track label. Introducing the attribute measurement amplitude feature a and the target signal-to-noise ratio d, the measurement and state are expanded to obtain the augmented measurement Augmented State

[0112] The target identity (category, attribute) label and the track label form a mixed label (d, l). After the introduction of the identity label, the state space is composed of becomes in is the identity label space. The measurement space is becomes in is the attribute measurement space. The identity of the target is a static attribute, that is, the target type does not change over time, but due to the influence of the target posture and environmental changes, the target recognition result is expressed in the form of a probability vector to represent the possibility that the target belongs to a certain category. In order to avoid the misjudgment caused by hard decisions, the target type is expressed by probability vector, that is, soft decision.
