Tracking algorithm inheriting smoothing vector in splitting target tracking

To track splitting targets using radar measurements, the tracking algorithm is required to maintain the track of the existing target and to initiate a track of new target. In this paper, we propose the track oriented mht (multiple hypothesis tracking) using the smoothing velocity test. In the proposed algorithm, the smoothing velocity vector of existing track is inherited in the new track. Through simulations, we show that the MHT´s success rate of both maintaining the existing track and initiating the new track, is 96%. Furthermore, we show that the improved method has an effect of reducing the probability of false track establishment.
