In this work, we show that by using a recursive random forest together with an alpha beta filter classifier, it is possible to classify radar tracks from the tracks' kinematic data. The kinematic data is from a 2D scanning radar without Doppler or height information. We use random forest as this classifier implicitly handles the uncertainty in the position measurements. As stationary targets can have an apparently high speed because of the measurement uncertainty, we use an alpha beta filter classifier to classify stationary targets from moving targets. We show an overall classification rate from simulated data at 82.6 % and from real-world data at 79.7 %. Additional to the confusion matrix, we also show recordings of real-world data.
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.
