Abstract

This work is concerned with the problem of multiple target track detection in heavy clutter. Using the "modified high order correlation" (HOC) [1-4] process and a track scoring mechanism a new method is developed to perform data association and track identification in the presence of heavy clutter. Using this new scheme any number of very close, crossing or splitting target tracks can be resolved without increasing the computational complexity of the algorithm. The applicability of the method for continuous detection of target tracks that can originate and terminate at any scan is also demonstrated. In addition, the operating characteristics as a function of the clutter density are also provided. Simulation results on all the cases are presented.
