본 논문에서는 비선형 기동을 하는 기동표적의 추정된 잡음을 분석하여 표적의 기동패턴을 분석하는 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다. 기동표적의 추정위치와 측정치에서 발생하는 잡음을 가속도와 순수 잡음으로 분리하고 분리된 성분을 분석하여 표적의 기동 패턴을 인식하고 동시에 추적을 실시하는 알고리즘을 구성한다. 잡음의 분리는 퍼지 클러스터링(FCM : Fuzzy C-means Clustering) 기법을 이용하여 적절한 추정값을 이용한다. 추정된 표적의 속도와 가속도, 잡음을 재 구성하여 기동표적의 기동패턴을 분석하고, 동시에 추적을 실시한다. 위의 과정을 통해 가속도를 분리한 후 비선형성을 지닌 기동표적의 기동패턴을 선형화 하여 칼만필터를 이용 잡음을 분리하고 가속도를 다시 보상하여 추적 알로리즘을 구성한다. 그리고 제안된 알고리즘의 수행 가능성을 보여 주기 위하여 몇 가지 예를 제시하였다.

TMA (Target Motion Analysis) in passive sonar is generally conducted with the bearing only or the bearing frequency. In order to conduct TMA fast and accurately, it is essential to estimate a initial target maneuver precisely. The accuracy of TMA can be improved by using SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) information and acoustic propagation model additionally. This method assumes that the radiated noise level of the target is known, but the accuracy of TMA can be degraded due to a mismatch between the assumed radiated noise level and the actual radiated noise level. In this paper, TMA with the acoustic propagation model, bearing measurements, and SNR information is conducted in the ocean environment of South Korea (East Sea/ Yellow Sea/ South Sea). And the performance analysis of TMA for the mismatch in the radiated noise is presented.

The Levenberg-Marquardt method is a well known solution about the least square problem. However, in a Target Motion Analysis(TMA) application most of researches have used the Gauss-Newton method as a batch estimator, which of inverse matrix calculation may causes instability problem. In this paper, Levenberg-Marquardt method is applied to TMA problem to prevent its divergence. In experiment, its performance is compared with Gauss-Newton in domain of range, course and speed. Monte Carlo simulation reveals the convergence time and reliability of the TMA based on Levenberg-Marquardt.

A conventional Closest Point of Approach (CPA) analysis allows a non-maneuvering moving source that is radiating a constant frequency tone to be located using doppler shifted frequency measurements obtained by a stationary receiver. The original frequency, relative speed of the target, time at the CPA, and range from the CPA to the sensor are estimated by the conventional CPA. However, this paper proposes a new CPA analysis that allows the motion parameters of a target to be estimated using the bearing and frequency measurements obtained by a moving receiver that has a constant velocity. The validity of the proposed estimation scheme is confirmed through a performance analysis and simulation study.

As a part of target motion analysis(TMA) with highly noisy bearings-only measurements from a passive sonar system, a nonlinear batch estimator is proposed to provide the initial estimates to a sequential estimator called the modified gain extended Kalman filter(MGEKF). Based on the system observability analysis of passive target tracking, a practical and effective method is suggested to determine the observer maneuvers for improved TMA performance through system observability enhancing. Also suggested is a method to determine observer location for enhanced system observability at the initial phase of TMA from various engagement boundaries which represent the relationship between observer-target relative geometrical data and system observability. The proposed TMA methods are tested by a series of computer simulation runs.

For a long time target maneuvers in tracking problem have been a difficult task to handle. In order to solve this problems. there have been various tracking techniques. In the development of a tracking filter for a maneuvering target, maneuver detection threshold plays a key role. However, no study of filter performance the varying maneuver detection threshold has been carried out so far. Instead, the maneuver detection have been chosen empirically. In this paper, the effect of detection threshold selection on the performance of the tracking filters was considered and the relationships between maneuvers and the detection threshold have been analyzed by simulation.

Maneuvering targets are difficult to track for the Kalman filter since the target model of tracking filter might not fit the real target trajectory and the statistical characteristics of the target maneuver are unknown in advance. In order to track such a highly maneuvering target, several schemes have been proposed and improved the tracking performance in some extent. Among those tracking schemes the Input Estimation (IE), Variable Dimension (VD) and Turning Acceleration Estimator (TAE) became popular. However, so far their tracking performances were analyzed individually and were not compared. In this paper, the tracking performances of the typical IE, VD and TAE schemes for a maneuvering target are compared. Monte-Carlo Simulations for three maneuvering profiles are carried out and the results are analyzed towards practical applications.

A matched-target model inversion method was developed for a passive sonar to estimate the position of moving targets. Based on the well known matched-field processing in underwater acoustics, the method finds target position by matching the measured target directions and frequencies with the corresponding values of the proposed target model. For the efficient and accurate estimations, the parameter searching was accomplished using a hybrid optimizing method, which first starts with a global optimization such as generic algorithm or simulated annealing then applies a local optimization of a simple down hill algorithm. The suggested method was testified using simulations for three different moving scenarios. The simulation results showed that the method is robust in convergence, even under the situation of over 5 times standard deviation of Gaussian distribution of measured error, and is practical in calculation time as well.
