Abstract

Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and tracking of signals using passive sensor arrays is a classic problem that becomes challenging when the number of sources varies over time and the signal-to-noise ratio is low. In this paper, we pose this problem as minimum mean OSPA (MMOSPA) estimation, which minimizes the the optimal sub-pattern assignment (OSPA) metric of the posterior random finite set (RFS). A particle filter implementation of the MMOSPA estimator is developed for simultaneous source enumeration and DOA tracking. The performance of the new method is demonstrated by means of an experiment with a large sonar array in Florida.
