A multi-sensor management method based on information gain and ant colony algorithm

In order to solve the target allocation problem in multi-sensor management, we proposed a multi-sensor multitarget allocation method with tracking ability as constraint. Basic idea of the method is to apply ant colony algorithm to efficiency function based on target information gain. According to the simulation results, the multi-sensor multi-target allocation method based on information gain and ant colony algorithm is effective, which can quickly generate reasonable and reliable allocation scheme. Compared with random allocation method, our method provides more overall performance improvement.
