Abstract
This paper studies the problem of sensor selection for maneuvering target tracking in the cluttered environment. By modeling the target dynamics as jump Markov linear systems, a decentralized tracking algorithm is developed by applying the extended Kalman filter and the probabilistic data association technique. A cost function that minimizes the expected filtered mean square position error is utilized and a sensor selection scheme is proposed. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
