Abstract
To deal with the problem of multitarget tracking with measurement origin uncertainty, the paper presents a multitarget tracking algorithm based on Adaptive Network Graph Segmentation (ANGS). The multitarget tracking is firstly formulated as an Integer Programming problem for finding the maximum a posterior probability in a cost flow network. Then, a network structure is partitioned using an Adaptive Spectral Clustering algorithm based on the Nyström Method. In order to obtain the global optimal solution, the parallel A* search algorithm is used to process each sub-network. Moreover, the trajectory set is extracted by the Track Mosaic technique and Rauch⁻Tung⁻Striebel (RTS) smoother. Finally, the simulation results achieved for different clutter intensity indicate that the proposed algorithm has better tracking accuracy and robustness compared with the A* search algorithm, the successive shortest-path (SSP) algorithm and the shortest path faster (SPFA) algorithm.
