Abstract

A novel PF algorithm was proposed. In this algorithm, the maximum likelihood (ML) was firstly used to estimate the latest position of mobile target, then the Kalman filter (KF) was used to get the more accurate state (their instantaneous locations and velocities) information and covariance of mobile target, which eventually provide a proposal distribution for PF. The simulation indicates that this improved PF has not only a higher tracking accuracy but also a better characteristic of real-time.
