Estimation characteristics of tracking filters according to maneuvering patterns

Abstract

Three kinds of maneuvering patterns (waver, pop-up, and high-diver maneuvers) are basically considered for a target motion to evaluate the estimation characteristics of the employed tracking filters according to the maneuvering patterns. The employed tracking filters are the interacting multiple model (IMM) filter, which is known as the most cost-effective estimation scheme, and the other filters stem from it. The simulation results show well the estimation characteristics of the employed filters according to the given maneuvering patterns of a target.
