An IMM tracking algorithm based on a novel target model

In the field of target tracking, IMM is a simple algorithm and has good performance. However, choosing the target models is a very difficult problem. This paper modifies the IMM algorithm based on a target model presented in Li Hongyan and Feng Xinxi (2004). The maneuvering level parameter of this model can be adaptively adjusted through the output of the IMM filter. A lot of simulation results show that the novel IMM has much better performance than IMM whenever the track maneuvering target or non-maneuvering target.
