Abstract
This paper deals with a radar track before detect application in a multi target setting. Track before detect is a method to track weak objects (targets) on the basis raw radar measurements, e.g. the reflected target power. In classical target tracking, the tracking process is performed on the basis of pre-processed measurements, that are constructed from the original measurement data every time step. In this way no integration over time takes place and information is lost. In this paper we will give a modelling setup and a particle filter based algorithm to deal with a multiple target track before detect situation. In simulations we show that, using this method, it is possible to track multiple, closely spaced, (weak) targets.Keywords
