Neighbourhood Kalman filtering on scanning radars with poor resolution

Abstract

A method of implementing a real time neighbourhood Kalman filter on a scanning radar is presented. This method assumes that the bearing measurement is inaccurate, the detections are not always present, and no Doppler processing is done. This indicates the system applicability to existing radar systems that have rudimentary performance. The system also provides predictions that allow other real time systems to operate on the data.<>
