A Battlefield Target Grouping Method Based on M-CFSFDP Algorithm

Abstract

Target grouping can divide battlefield targets into battle space groups. In this way, the target grouping reduces the difficulty of situation assessment and increases the efficiency of decision. In order to solve the target grouping, a target grouping method based on Manifold-CFSFDP algorithm is proposed. This method turns target grouping into dataset clustering. After calculating the manifold which measures the similarity of targets, it searches the clustering centers and classifies the other data points by CFSFDP based on manifold. The simulation experiment for artificial and UCI datasets proves that M-CFSFDP is more effective than CFSFDP. The correctness and feasibility of M-CFSFDP are also shown by static and dynamic grouping of battlefield targets.
