Best Linear Unbiased Filtering for Target Tracking with Spherical Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
In tracking applications, target dynamics is usually modeled in the Cartesian coordinates, while target measurements are directly available in the original sensor coordinates. Measurement-conversion is widely used such that the Kalman filter can be applied in the Cartesian coordinates. A number of improved measurement-conversion techniques have been proposed recently. However, they have fundamental limitations, resulting in performance degradation. In this paper, we present explicitly the best linear unbiased filter for nonlinear measurement, which is optimal in the sense of minimizing the mean-square error among all linear unbiased filters and is free of the fundamental limitations of the measurementconversion method. Results of an approximate implementation for spherical measurements are compared with those obtained by two state-of-the-art conversion techniques. Simulation results are provided.

Bearings only tracking is a challenging issue with many applications in military and commercial areas. In distributed multi-sensor multi-target bearings only tracking, sensors are far from each other, but are exchanging data using telecommunication equipment. In addition to the general benefits of distributed systems, this tracking system has another important advantage: if the sensors are suff...

The estimation fusion problem using quantized measurements for target tracking in a sensor network is investigated. Focuses are on tradeoff between bandwidth of each sensor and the global tracking accuracy. The fusion center estimates the state of the target in a dimension compression way instead of merging all the quantized messages to a vector (augmented scheme). An approximate closed-form so...

Target motion analysis of the underwater target tracking by the UUV (Unmanned underwater vehicle) usually based on the bearing-only observations including azimuth and elevation angles. However, low angular resolution of hydro acoustic sonars is not enough for the good quality of tracking. Moreover, angular observations lead to nonlinear filtering such as Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) which us...
