The most common type of filter is the Kalman filter. For most applications the Kalman filter is reliable and efficient, but it does have limitations. This book looks at cutting-edge particle filters that can track under conditions where Kalman filters fail. It introduces the latest advances in particle filter theory, discusses their relevance to radar tracking, and examines the defense applications of particle filters. With this hands-on guide, radar engineers can develop more accurate and reliable filter designs and more precisely predict these designs' performance. |

| Publisher Description: For most tracking applications the Kalman filter is reliable and efficient, but it is limited to a relatively restricted class of linear Gaussian problems. To solve problems beyond this restricted class, particle filters are proving to be dependable methods for stochastic dynamic estimation. This cutting-edge book introduces the latest advances in particle filter theory, discusses their relevance to defence surveillance systems, and examines defence-related applications of particle filters to nonlinear and non-Gaussian problems. nonlinear filter designs and more precisely predict the performance of these designs. You can also apply particle filters to tracking a ballistic object, detection and tracking of stealthy targets, tracking through the blind Doppler zone, bi-static radar tracking, passive ranging (bearings-only tracking) of manoeuvering targets, range-only tracking, terrain-aided tracking of ground vehicles, and group and extended object tracking. |
