• Bearings-only
• Multi-target
• Data association
• Ant colony optimization

The study is concerned with data association of bearings-only multi-target tracking using two stationary observers in a 2-D scenario. In view of each target moving with a constant speed, two objective functions, i.e., distance and slope differences, are proposed and a multi-objective-ant-colony-optimization-based algorithm is then introduced to execute data association by minimizing the two objective functions. Numerical simulations are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in comparison with the data association results of the joint maximum likelihood (ML) method under different noise levels and track figurations.
