摘要: 无人机群、鸟群等低空群目标具有群体智能、密集分布等特点,呈现出复杂的运动模式,已成为雷达探测领域的热点话题。此类目标采用经典的关联、跟踪方法易导致航迹中断、目标状态估计错误等问题导致跟踪结果不稳定。量测点迹通常包含目标的空间位置信息,是研究此类问题的基础。已开展的部分研究通过分析目标的运动特性,仿真与目标真实轨迹相近的量测点迹,但无法很好模拟传感器误差与环境因素对目标量测的影响。实测数据可以验证算法在真实场景下的性能,而当前公开的雷达实测数据集较少,为支撑群目标航迹关联与跟踪滤波等相关课题的研究,本文公开了基于高分辨相控阵雷达的低空无人机群目标数据集。数据集中编队样式涵盖了实际中经典的一字形、十字形编队,运动样式涵盖了常见的匀速直线运动、匀速圆周运动,同时考虑了目标不同间距对实验结果的影响。数据集共包括三组实验,分别为小间距一字形编队直线飞行、大间距一字形编队绕圆与直线飞行、十字形编队绕圆与直线飞行等无人机群编队实验,利用高分辨相控阵雷达采集回波数据,通过步进频合成、目标检测等预处理流程得到群目标量测点迹数据,可以为航迹关联、跟踪等算法的验证提供实测数据支撑,协助相关算法进一步改进,推动群目标探测领域的发展。Abstract: Swarms of UAVs, flocks of birds, and other low-altitude group targets exhibit characteristics such as collective intelligence and dense distribution, resulting in complex motion patterns. These features have made them a prominent topic in the field of radar detection. Traditional association and tracking methods for such targets often lead to problems such as track interruption and incorrect target state estimation, resulting in unstable tracking outcomes. Measurements containing spatial position information of targets serve as the foundation for addressing these challenges. Some existing studies simulate measurements that resemble real tracks of targets by analyzing their motion characteristics. However, these simulations fail to effectively account for the influence of sensor errors and environmental factors on measurements. Real data are crucial for evaluating algorithmic performance in practical scenarios. Currently, there is a lack of publicly available radar datasets to support research in areas such as swarm target track association and tracking filtering. To address this gap, we present a low-altitude UAV swarm dataset based on high-resolution phased array radar. The dataset encompasses classic formation patterns observed in practical scenarios, including linear and cross-shaped formations, as well as common motion patterns such as uniform linear and circular motion. Additionally, the impact of varying target spacing on experimental outcomes was taken into consideration. The dataset comprises three experiments on UAV swarm formations, namely tightly spaced linear formations, widely spaced linear formations flying in circular and straight paths, and cross-shaped formations flying in circular and straight paths. Echo data were collected using high-resolution phased array radar. Measurements of the group target were obtained through techniques such as stepped frequency synthesis and target detection. This dataset provides real data support for validating track association and tracking algorithms, helping refine these algorithms and contributing to advancements in group target monitoring research.
