description The effective detection of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) targets is of great significance to guarantee national military security and social stability. In recent years, with the development of communication and control technology, the movement of UAVs has become increasingly flexible and complex, presenting diverse trajectory forms and different motion models in different phases. The Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density filter incorporating the linear Gaussian jump Markov system approach (LGJMS-GMPHD) provides an efficient method for tracking multiple maneuvering targets, as applied to the switching of motions between a set of models in a Markovian chain. However, in practice, the motion model parameters of targets are generally unknown and the model switching is uncertain. When the preset filtering model parameters are mismatched, the tracking performance is dramatically degraded. In this paper, within the framework of the LGJMS-GMPHD filter, a deep-learning-based multiple model tracking method is proposed. First, an adaptive turn rate estimation network is designed to solve the filtering model mismatch caused by unknown turn rate parameters in coordinate turn models. Second, a filter state modification network is designed to solve the large tracking errors in the maneuvering phase caused by uncertain motion model switching. Finally, based on simulations of multiple maneuvering targets in cluttered environments and experimental field data verification, it can be concluded that the proposed method has strong adaptability to multiple maneuvering forms and can effectively improve the tracking performance of targets with complex maneuvering motion.
