| Abstract: | Sensor management plays an important role in
data fusion system, and this paper presents an algorithm of sensor management that can be
used in target detection, identification and tracking. First, the basic concept, rule,
range and function of sensor management are introduced. Then, the quantifying problems of
target priority and sensor (or combination)-target pairing in multisensor management are
discussed and the efficiency and waste functions are established based on the functions of
target priority and sensor-target pairing. On this basis, a distribution algorithm of
multisensor resources is given, which is optimized by the principle of maximum synthesis
efficiency in the multisensor system and constrained by sensor maximum tracking power and
what target must be scanned. In addition, the waste measure of sensor resources is
introduced to improve the algorithm. Finally, a tactical task that includes three sensors
and ten targets is set, and the simulation results show that the algorithm is feasible and
effective. |
