Abstract: Aiming at the estimation and optimization problem of target tracking systems managed by sensor control, this paper proposes a sensor path planning method based on reinforcement learning in the discrete space. First, the estimated position and the covariance of the target at the next time are obtained by nonlinear optimal filtering. Then, a target tracking optimization model based on reinforcement learning is established, and the target covariance trace after sensor path planning is calculated based on the SARSA (state-action-reward-state-action) algorithm. Finally, a single-step cycle is performed on the sensor position selection the next time. The optimal moving position is obtained by comparison of the covariance traces before and after the sensor path planning in each cycle. In the simulation experiment, the motion trajectories of the sensor in different learning episodes were compared and analyzed, and the results show that the effect of target tracking optimization was significantly improved.
