The invention discloses a
radar target tracking method based on transport mapping, which adopts a pulse-by-pulse
estimation strategy and comprises the steps of initial construction, initial
particle generation and pulse-by-pulse updating. A target
transfer equation and a
radar measurement equation are initially constructed, and an equal-weight particle set is generated to represent initial probability distribution. And at each pulse moment, predicting a target state by using a
transfer equation, calculating a measurement predicted value, carrying out downsampling on a high-dimensional measurement
signal and the predicted value, constructing transport mapping and updating particles based on
state prediction and downsampling data to obtain a posterior state set, and finally solving an average output target state estimated value. The method solves the problem of calculation complexity of particle degradation and high-dimensional measurement
data processing in an existing method, improves the target state
estimation precision and tracking efficiency, and is especially suitable for a complex nonlinear and high-
noise environment. According to the method, high-dimensional measurement data and multi-
modal distribution can be processed, particle degradation is avoided, real-time performance and robustness are enhanced, and the method has important application value.
