Abstract:

In target tracking,the realization of 3D extended target tracking usually requires a large number of measurement data from multiple angles,and the measurement obtained by a single sensor can not meet the requirements of 3D shape estimation in either quantity or integrity.Aiming at the problem of poor shape tracking performance of existing 3D extended target tracking algorithms under a low measurement rate,a three-dimensional extended target algorithm based on the B-spline Poisson Multi-Bernoulli Mixture (B-Spline-PMBM) filter is proposed.First,wavelet clustering is used to process the 3D spatial measurement data obtained by multiple sensors to obtain the measurement cluster,which can extract effective information and ensure the efficiency of the algorithm.Then,the control matrix is obtained by dividing the measurement cluster.The control matrix is realized based on the B-spline control point principle,so it can represent the parameters of the complex three-dimensional shape.The shape of the 3D extended target is obtained by fitting the B-spline surface with the control matrix.Finally,the B-spline is integrated into the PMBM filter,which is extended to 3D target tracking to predict and update the motion state and shape parameters of the extended target.Simulation and real point cloud data set verify that the proposed algorithm can achieve a good tracking effect on the motion state and the extended shape of the three-dimensional extended target,and can realize the estimation of the irregular three-dimensional shape.
