We present a novel switched slide window tracker (SSWT) to track moving targets for Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) information in maritime radar. The SSWT is composed of both α-β tracker to find the initial parameters of a slide window and slide window tracker (SWT) to track the moving targets. The proposed algorithm does not require a high computation complexity. In addition, the proposed method can effectively track the nonlinear model by using a piecewise linear model in a target trajectory. The maritime radar simulator with the proposed SSWT algorithm is realized using a commercial DSP board.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
