Maneuvering acceleration estimation algorithm using Doppler radar measurement (Q1721008)

Summary: An algorithm to estimate the tangential and normal accelerations directly using the Doppler radar measurement in an online closed loop form is proposed. Specific works are as follows: first, the tangential acceleration and normal acceleration are taken as the state variables to establish a linear state transition equation; secondly, the decorrelation unbiased conversion measurement Kalman filter (DUCMKF) algorithm is proposed to deal with the strongly nonlinear measurement equation; thirdly, the geometric relationship between the range rate and the velocity direction angle is used to obtain two estimators of the velocity direction angle; finally, the interactive multiple model (IMM) algorithm is used to fuse the estimators of the velocity direction angle and then the adaptive IMM of current statistical model based DUCMKF (AIMM-CS-DUCMKF) is proposed. The simulation experiment results show that the accuracy and stability of DUCMKF are better than the sequential extended Kalman filter algorithm, the sequential unscented Kalman filter algorithm, and converted measurement Kalman filter algorithms; on the other hand they show that the AIMM-CS-DUCMKF can obtain the high accuracy of the tangential and normal accelerations estimation algorithm.
