Multi-target tracking scheme using a track management table for automotive radar systems

In this paper, a multiple target tracking scheme for automotive radars is presented. First, a track table for efficient track management is proposed; then, a track management function is designed using a state machine. The proposed scheme can initiate, confirm, and delete all tracks of multiple targets. Moreover, it can determine whether the detected target is a real target or a ghost track, and a terminated track or a sudden missing track. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed tracking scheme is processed normally.
