Abstract

In this paper we propose a Track Before Detect (TBD) filter for Direction Of Arrival (DOA) tracking of multiple targets from phased-array observations. The phased-array model poses a new problem since each target emits a signal, called source signal. Existing methods consider the source signal as part of the system state. This is inefficient, especially for particle approximations of posteriors, where samples are drawn from the higher-dimensional posterior of the extended state. To address this problem, we propose a novel Marked Poisson Point Process (MPPP) model and derive the Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filter that adaptively estimates target DOAs. The PPP models variations of both the number and the location of points representing targets. The mark of a point represents the source signal, without the need of an extended state. Recursive formulas for the MPPP PHD filter are derived with simulations showcasing improved performance over state-of-the art methods.
