Comparative analysis of two techniques for moving target velocity estimation

In this paper two different algorithms for target velocity estimation are considered and compared. Traditional approaches for detecting and tracking moving targets typically rely on a multiphase strategy in which target detections are feed to a Kalman-filter-based tracker. In the present paper, two techniques for target velocity estimation in the framework of Hough Transform (HT) detection scheme are considered. The experimental results are obtained by means of numerical analysis. The quality parameter is estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation approach. A comparative analysis of the two velocity estimation techniques is done based on same parameters of the surveillance radar. The research work is performed in MATLAB computational environment. The obtained analytical results can be used in both, radar and communication receiver networks.
