Ellipsoidal method for UAVs target tracking and recognition*

Abstract

Based on our previous contributions about UAV target tracking and recognition, this paper continues to do the synthesis analysis for the ellipsoidal method for the above practical problem. Given a nonlinear system or linear system, corresponding to the motion equation for the considered target, the UAV target tracking and recognition is to identify the unknown but bounded noise, then ellipsoidal method is proposed to achieve this goal. The main step for ellipsoidal method is to compute one intersection operation between one ellipsoid and a strip. Through our own mathematical derivations, this intersection part is also an ellipsoid. The centre of the final ellipsoid is deemed as the accurate state estimation from the generated ellipsoidal sequences. To alleviate the deficiency of our previous contributions, synthesis analysis for ellipsoidal method is also derived to complete the efficiency. Finally, one simulation example confirms our ellipsoidal method for UAV target tracking and recognition.
