A particle filter for target arrival detection and tracking in track-before-detect

Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of detecting the appearance time of a target and tracking its state with a particle filter in the Track-Before-Detect context. We show that it is possible to model the problem as a quickest detection change problem in a Bayesian framework. In this case, the posterior density of the target time appearance is a mixture where each component represents the hypothesis that the target arrived at a given time. As the posterior density is intractable in practice, we propose to approximate each component of the mixture by a particle filter, and we show that the weights of the mixture can be computed recursively thanks to quantities provided by the different particle filters. The overall filter yields good performance.
