摘要: 针对开角约束条件下分布式无源声呐网络的多目标跟踪问题, 提出一种基于广义协方差交叉融合的标签多伯努利跟踪方法。通过划分全局开角覆盖范围, 将各节点的多目标后验密度分解为重叠区域和非重叠区域部分, 并推导出融合后多目标后验密度的解析表达式; 进一步改进了基于广义协方差交叉散度的批次匹配方法, 无需邻节点开角范围的先验信息, 有效解决了节点间批次缺失和不一致问题。仿真实验结果表明, 该方法实现了不同开角覆盖范围场景下各个节点目标信息的融合, 有效提升了目标跟踪精度和稳定性。SwellEx-96海试数据处理结果进一步表明, 通过约束声呐节点的有效开角范围, 可以避免端射方向观测精度下降对融合性能的影响。Abstract: This paper proposes a labeled multi-Bernoulli (LMB) tracking method based on generalized covariance intersection (GCI) fusion for multi-target tracking in distributed passive sonar network with sensing coverage constraints. By partitioning sensing coverage sectors between adjacent nodes, the multi-target posterior density is analytically decomposed into overlapping and non-overlapping regions, and a closed-form expression for the fused posterior density is derived. An label matching mechanism leveraging GCI divergence is designed, eliminating the requirement for prior knowledge of nodes’ coverage ranges while effectively addressing label inconsistency and missing associations between adjacent nodes. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves robust fusion of multi-node target information under different sensing coverage scenarios, with significant improvements in tracking accuracy and trajectory continuity. SwellEx-96 sea trial data further validates that constraining the effective angular coverage of sonar nodes mitigates performance degradation caused by degraded bearing estimation accuracy in end-fire directions.
