Abstract:

The basic principle behind the track-before-detect(TBD)scheme was introduced,and an overview of the studies on state-of-art TBD methods was then presented.The paper paid special attention to the following TBD methods:dynamic programming,recursive Bayesian filtering,finite set statistics,histogram probability multi-hypothesis tracking,and also the relevant applications.Finally,some key issues to enhance the precision and robustness of dim target detection and tracking are indicated based on the progress of the existing research,which deserve more attention of the researchers' for solution.These include:performance analysis and evaluation of the existing TBD methods,the TBD solutions for closely-spaced and/or maneuvering dim targets,multi-sensor fusion for the TBD problem,joint target detection,tracking and classification(JDTC) for dim targets,and so on.

Key words: dim target detection, track before detect, dynamic programming, particle filter, finite sets statistics
