Abstract

In the context of active sonar, automatic tracking faces challenges in strong reverberation and high background noise environments. This paper addresses the difficulties in automatic tracking by proposing new algorithms for track initiation and track maintenance, incorporating normalized information gain and existing multiple hypothesis correlation tracking algorithms. This approach partially mitigates the issue of excessive false alarms in active target tracking under complex conditions. The effectiveness of this improved algorithm is validated through simulation and experimentation.
