Abstract:As commonly used target tracking means, radar and infrared each have their own advantages and disadvantages. An adaptive fusion tracking algorithm based on radar/infrared multi-sensor tracking platform is designed, which takes full advantages of high-precision distance measurement of radar and high-precision angle measurement of infrared through information fusion technology, and gives accurate estimation of target location by combining the interactive multiple model (IMM) tracking idea. The algorithm can switch tracking models according to different maneuvering characteristics of targets, which improves the comprehensive recognition of the target and achieve better tracking effect. Meanwhile, a target tracking simulation system based on VC++ environment is designed, which selects the target motion model that is widely used in the current engineering practice. The simulation software creates a visual target tracking simulation platform by using MFC interface technology, and verifies the performance of the tracking algorithm.
