摘要：In standard target tracking, algorithms assume synchronous and identical sampling rate for measurement and state processes. Contrary to these methods particle filter is proposed with variable rate. These filters use a restricted number of states, and a Gamma distribution is applied at state arrival time so that the maneuvering targets could be tracked. Although this structure is capable of tracking a wide range of targets motion features using linear, curvilinear motion dynamics, it suffers from a basic weak point. It cannot estimate the position of targets in high maneuvering regions. Thus, multiple model variable rate particle filter (MM-VRPF) is utilized to overcome this shortage using various dynamic models. A weak point of a particle filter is a phenomenon called degeneracy that even exists in MM-VRPF structure. In this study, differential evolution method, is exploited to improve the mentioned method and a novel structure called multiple model variable rate particle filter with differential evolution (MM-VRPF with DE) is introduced. The simulation results of a bearing only tracking achieved from a maneuvering target, revealed that the proposed structure has better performance while it maintains advantages of variable rate structure.
