Abstract:

Pose information is one of the important parameters of target motion states, and has been applied extensively to many fields, such as target monitoring, target tracking, target identification and designs for missile guidance law. Different from the traditional algorithms using optical images obtained from an image sensor, a pose estimation algorithm based on high range resolution profiles (HRRP) obtained from a highresolution radar is proposed in the winged missile tracking application. The algorithm is based on profile matching and motion state filtering. A missile maneuver scene is constructed and the simulation results verify the feasibility of the pose estimation algorithm proposed.
