Belief rule-based methodology and Particle filter for radar target tracking

With the rapid development of information technology in inland waterway, radar was widely used to track the ship running, in order to ensure the safe and efficient shipping industry development, as well as to avoid a ship collision causing unnecessary economic losses. For the problem of radar target tracking data associated, a method of data association with radar data was proposed, which was based on radar target course and speed. By this method, the target error or loss problem was solved when the target density was large and used belief rule-based (BRB) methodology to verify the reliability of this method. Real target points obtained by this method had been filtered through particle filter. And then the radar target tracking was achieved. This method has a good target tracking results, verified by Monte Carlo simulations.
