Considering the influence of unknown time-varying process noise and random abnormal measurement noise in the target tracking system
a new distributed fusion target tracking algorithm based on variational Bayes is proposed. Firstly
on each local platform of the distributed fusion structure
inverse-Wishart distribution and the Student's t distribution are chosen to model the error covariance of one-step prediction estimation and measurement likelihood in the unscented Kalman filter framework according to variational Bayes. And then
the joint probability density function of noise distribution parameters and state are approximately decoupled by mean field variational Bayesian theory
so that state estimation and noise distribution parameters can be updated by fixed-point iteration. Finally
we use the covariance intersection fusion strategy to fuse and correct all local state estimations. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm
in which system nonlinearity
time-varying process noise and abnormal measurement noise are comprehensively considered
can effectively improve state estimation accuracy of moving targets
