A novel gat- ing strategy that is based on the measurement likelihood of the target state space is proposed to improve the overall effectiveness of the probability hypothesis density （PHD） filter. Firstly, a measurement-driven mechanism based on this gating technique is designed to classify the measure- ments. In this mechanism, only the measurements for the existing targets are considered in the update step of the existing targets while the measurements of newborn targets are used for exploring newborn targets. Secondly, the gating strategy enables the development of a heuristic state estima- tion algorithm when sequential Monte Carlo （SMC） implementation of the PHD filter is investi- gated, where the measurements are used to drive the particle clustering within the space gate. The resulting PHD filter can achieve a more robust and accurate estimation of the existing targets by reducing the interference from clutter.
