Abstract

Thelong-distance coverage of high-frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) has promoted it as an enormous means for ship monitoring on the country's maritime territory. Since it is a primaryradar, noncooperative targets can also be detected. However, this radar also has a shortcoming of low spatial and temporal resolutions due to the narrow available bandwidth in the HF band. This limitation can reduce the performance of ship detection and tracking, especially for highly maneuvering ships. This paper proposes a new method to assess the tracking algorithm for a high-maneuvering ship. The absence of a high-maneuvering plot in the AIS data and existing analytical models are replaced by the MMG model run on MANSIM software. The linear, turning, and zigzag motions are generated and used to evaluate the tracking algorithms. The Monte Carlo simulation was conducted regarding the degradation of spatial resolution in the higher radial range. The tracking performance was analyzed by calculating the RMSE of four parameters, i.e., absolute position, radial range, bearing angle, and speed. For a trial case, four tracking algorithms were evaluated, i.e., Kalman filter (KF), extended Kalman filter (EKF), unscented Kalman filter (UKF), and particle filter (PF). The evaluation results showed that the EKF tracker had a minor error for the linear track with RMSE of absolute position, radial range, bearing angle, and speed being 1.368 km, 0.526 km, 1.550 degrees, and 0.005 m/s, respectively. Otherwise, the UKF performed slightly better than EKF for the high maneuver targets. The RMSE of absolute position, radial range, bearing angle, and speed were 1.649 km, 0.639 km, 1.919 degrees, and 0.165 m/s, respectively. The results also ensure the applicability of the MMG model to evaluate the tracking algorithm's performance in HFSWR.
