Maneuvering Target Tracking with the Modified VDIE Filter

  • Published : 2001.10.01

Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with a tracking filter algorithm which can track a maneuvering target. Among the novel tracking filter algorithms, the input estimation (IE) filter can be summarized as estimating the unknown maneuver input and compensating the state according to the estimated input, and the variable dimension filter (VDF) can be summarized as detecting the maneuver of target and changing the dimension of the target dynamics to accomodate the maneuver of target They have some goods and bads with respect to each other. The variable dimension filter with input estimation (VDIEF) is constructed by combining the two filtering algorithms. However, it requires too much computational burden while it has good performance. We propose another variable dimension with input estimation ...
