This invention discloses a robust tracking method for multiple moving targets using through-wall
radar based on multi-domain
data association and multi-state trajectory management. First,
radar measurement results are obtained using a
constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection method. Second, the
Euclidean distance between the measurements and the trajectories, the kernel
correlation filter response, and the trajectory confidence cost are calculated to construct a minimum-cost maximum flow problem for
data association. Subsequently, a 5-state trajectory management mechanism is established. Based on the target state and association results, new trajectories are generated, regular and unmatched trajectories are updated, and cross-trajectories are generated, updated, and separated. Specifically, in the cross-trajectory
separation process, Bézier curves are used to fit the cross-trajectories, and the target state is estimated based on the Bézier curves to predict the target's position in the next frame. The re-matching of cross-trajectories and measurements is achieved based on the distance between the predicted position and the measurements.
