A Dialectic Approach to Moving Target Indicator (MTI) Correlation
Abstract
The problem examined by this research is tracking, with low update rates, on ground vehicles. Tracking solely by statistical prediction is inadequate for infrequently observed targets that exhibit non-deterministic behavior. The approach used here is to assume non-deterministic but rationale behavior will govern the targets. The method used to track is then to estimate the rationale behind the tracking by modeling that rationale using sophisticated knowledge modeling techniques. This report contains the additional results of the second year of research on moving target tracking of non-deterministic targets using low update rates for the observations. The first year effort centered on building the structure needed for tracking. The original intent was that the basic structure was ready to receive the knowledge needed for tracking at the end of the first year and that knowledge would be installed during the second year. A lack of data sets made that impossible, so the second year, in the end, focused on technical improvements in the system.
