A novel nonlinear least-squares approach to highly maneuvering target tracking
[Une nouvelle méthode de moindres carrés non linéaires pour le pistage de cibles hyper-manœuvrantes]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 20 (2019) no. 3, pp. 228-239.

Les trajectoires de véhicules aériens ou marins sont en général formées d'une succession de trajectoires lisses, séparées par des manœuvres brusques. En particulier, les cibles hyper-manœuvrantes modernes peuvent changer de cap de façon très abrupte, avec des accélérations pouvant aller jusqu'à 15g. Le comportement de la cible est donc modélisé par des modèles de Markov déterministes par morceaux, grâce à des paramètres à sauts. Depuis quelques années, les méthodes de lissage en temps réel sont devenues une alternative aux habituels algorithmes de filtrage, tels que le filtre de Kalman étendu (EKF). Dans cet article, de telles méthodes de lissage sont utilisées pour les phases sans sauts et sont combinées à une approche probabiliste pour déterminer les instants de sauts. L'algorithme ainsi proposé est comparé à un algorithme multi-modèles, l'IMM (Interactirng Multiple Model), en particulier pour l'estimation de la vitesse de la cible, sur un ensemble de trajectoires représentatif et difficile.

Trajectories of aerial and marine vehicles are typically made of a succession of smooth trajectories, linked by abrupt changes, i.e. maneuvers. Notably, modern highly maneuvering targets are capable of very brutal changes in the heading, with accelerations of up to 15g. As a result, we model the target behavior using piecewise deterministic Markov models, driven by parameters that jump at unknown times. Over the past years, real-time (or incremental) optimization-based smoothing methods have become a popular alternative to nonlinear filters, such as the Extended Kálmán Filter (EKF), owing to the successive relinearizations that mitigate the linearization errors that inherently affect the EKF estimates. In the present paper, we propose to combine such methods for tracking the target during non-jumping phases with a probabilistic approach to detect jumps. Our algorithm is shown to compare favorably to the state-of-the-art Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) algorithm, especially in terms of target's velocity estimation, on a set of meaningful and challenging trajectories.
