Research on Passive Localization Method with High Detection Rate

Passive localization is commonly achieved through the direction finding and positioning technique, which uses a airborne or ground multi-station angle measuring system to intersect pointing lines for fast and omnidirectional positioning. However, as the number of targets increases, so does the occurrence of false points. This poses a challenge to the positioning performance of system, requiring the prompt elimination of false points. To address the issue, we propose a high detection rate passive localization method based on density peak clustering (DPC). In this method, a suitable non-ideal location model is established, and improved density peak clustering is utilized to achieve data association and target localization. Simulation results confirm the proposed positioning method’s superior performance and adaptation to the non-ideal conditions of multi-target localization.
