Performance Comparison of Target Maneuver Onset Detection Algorithms

Abstract

This paper compares six di#erent algorithms for target maneuver detection in a number of typical maneuvering target tracking scenarios. Measurement residual based chi-square test, input estimate based chi-square test, input estimate based significance test, generalized likelihood ratio, cumulative sum, and marginalized likelihood ratio detectors are examined. Maneuver onset detection times and ROC curves are presented and performance measures are discussed through simulations. Further, the e#ect of di#erent window sizes on detection performance is evaluated
