Heuristic Algorithm of Multi-Constraint MHT in Ground-Moving Target Track Detection

The track detection technology of the ultra-wideband (UWB) radar for ground-moving targets is studied in this paper. A heuristic algorithm based on multi-constraint multi-hypothesis tracking (H-MCMHT) is proposed. Some constraints are added to the initial track generation of multi-hypothesis tracking according to the short-time motion characteristics of ground-moving targets. Then a heuristic track association method is proposed. The aim of the algorithm is to obtain as complete a real track as possible in a short time. Simulation results show that compared with MHT, H-MCMHT can effectively reduce the occurrence of false tracks and ensure the detection rate of real tracks. The physical verification results also confirm the simulation conclusions.
