Abstract
The research of target tracking mainly focuses on one-to-one and many-to-one tracking, and occasionally on many-to-many tasks. Compared with single target tracking, multiple target tracking has broader application prospects and important research significance. The core problem of multiple targets tracking is the target assignment. This paper first introduces the improved L1 algorithm, which can realize the target tracking with a single UAV. The global asymptotic stability of the algorithm is also illustrated. Secondly, the time-optimal strategy based on the virtual structure is utilized to solve the target assignment. Finally, the numerical simulations are carried out for the tracking problems of moving targets, and the results verify the effectiveness of the proposed tracking algorithm.
