Combined AGADESN with DBSCAN Algorithm for Cluster Target Motion Intention Recognition by Xirui Xue, Shucai Huang, Daozhi Wei

“…We use improved Olfati-Saber model with direction noise to generate cluster motion and use the cluster motion data to drive AGADESN algorithm to predict cluster destination, which achieves higher destination prediction accuracy than DESN algorithm. We innovatively design the motion similarity distance (MSD) and take the destination prediction output as one of the distance inputs, alleviating the lack of differentiation among different cluster targets caused by only relying on speed and position distance at the early stage of cluster motion. …”
