Abstract

In multi-sensor fusion (MSF), the integration of multi-sensor observation data with different observation errors to achieve more accurate positioning of the target has always been a research focus. In this study, a modified ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is presented to substitute the traditional Kalman filter (KF) in the multiple hypotheses tracking (MHT) to deal with the high nonlinearity that always shows up in multiple target tracking (MTT) problems. In addition, the multi-source observation data fusion is also realized by using the modified EnKF, which enables the low-precision observation data to be corrected by high-precision observation data, and the accuracy of the corrected data can be calibrated by the statistical information provided by the EnKF. Numerical studies are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method and the results show that the MHT-EnKF method can achieve remarkable enhancement in dealing with nonlinear movement variation and positioning accuracy for MTT problems in MSF scenario.
