Abstract

Video synthetic aperture radar (VideoSAR) combines SAR imaging and video techniques together, enabling continuous surveillance of a specific area, which has the advantages of high frame rate, high resolution, the ability of real-time tracking, etc. For VideoSAR systems, detecting and tracking the shadows of moving targets can effectively avoid the complex algorithms needed for moving target location and refocusing. In this paper, an interactive multiple model (IMM) filter is designed for VideoSAR moving target tracking task. Considering of the maneuverability of ground moving target is more complex than aerial target, we define three different target motion models according to the motion characteristics of ground moving targets, including a stop model and a rotated model. The experimental results show that the proposed IMM filter outperforms conventional filter for ground moving target tracking application.
