Abstract

We propose a novel ant system with a "subtractive" color mixing model of three-primary-color for jointly estimating the number of tracks to be initiated and their individual tracks in the multi-sensor multi-target system. In our algorithm, each ant deposits cyan, magenta, or yellow pheromone all the time, and ant's decision depends on the colored pheromone similarity comparison with candidates to be visited. On the basis of it, a mixture optimization function on a three dimensional parameter space is proposed to exploit best solutions by the following ants. Simulation results are presented to support obtained favorable performance of our algorithm.
