Machine Learning Based Track Classification and Estimation using Kalman Filter

Abstract

Classification of target from a mixture of multiple target information is quite challenging. In This paper we have used supervised Machine learning algorithm namely Linear Regression to classify the received data which is a mixture of target-return with the noise and clutter. Target state is estimated from the classified data using Kalman filter. Linear Kalman filter with constant velocity model is used in this paper. Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) analysis is used to measure the performance of the estimated track at various Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) levels. The results state that the error is high for Low SNR, for High SNR the error is Low.
