摘要: 现有基于深度学习的检测前跟踪(TBD)方法主要依赖历史状态序列进行运动建模与前向预测,对原始量测平面中目标能量分布及时空一致性信息的显式利用不足,在复杂机动场景下易产生累积误差和轨迹偏移。针对此问题,该文提出一种基于Transformer架构的量测引导转移门控网络(MG-TGN),以数据驱动方式生成自适应状态转移范围。MG-TGN从历史轨迹与量测序列中提取时空特征,预测先验位移概率矩阵,同时利用当前帧量测平面提取局部观测响应以估计观测似然概率,并通过可学习门控系数对二者进行动态融合,确定候选转移集合,从而约束动态规划递推的状态搜索空间。该方法将深度特征融合策略嵌入TBD框架,在保留全局路径搜索优势的同时,提升低信噪比下机动目标的能量累积一致性与轨迹稳定性。实验结果表明,相较于既有深度学习TBD方法,本文方法在信噪比为8 dB时,弱机动场景下目标检测概率提升约5%,强机动场景下提升约28%。

Abstract: Existing deep learning-–based track-before-detect (TBD) methods primarily rely on historical state sequences for motion modeling and forward prediction. They do not explicitly utilize target energy distribution and spatiotemporal consistency information in raw measurement planes, which causes cumulative errors and trajectory drift in complex maneuvering scenarios. To address this issue, this study proposes a Transformer--based measurement--guided transition gating network (MG-TGN), which adaptively generates state transition ranges in a data-driven manner. The MG-TGN extracts spatiotemporal features from historical trajectories and measurement sequences to predict a prior displacement probability matrix. Concurrently, it uses local observation responses from the current-frame measurement plane to estimate the observation likelihood probability. These two probabilistic quantities are dynamically fused using learnable gating coefficients to form a candidate transition set, thereby constraining the state search space for dynamic programming recursion. By embedding a deep feature fusion strategy into the TBD framework, the proposed method retains the advantages of global path search while enhancing both energy accumulation consistency and trajectory stability for maneuvering targets under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. Experimental results demonstrated that, compared with existing deep learning–based TBD methods, the proposed method achieves approximately 5% and 28% higher target detection probabilities in weak and strong maneuvering scenarios, respectively, at an SNR of 8 dB. -
