Detection And Tracking Of Stealthy Targets Using Particle Filters, Philip M. Losie
Detection And Tracking Of Stealthy Targets Using Particle Filters, Philip M. Losie
Master's Theses
In recent years, the particle filter has gained prominence in the area of target tracking because it is robust to non-linear target motion and non-Gaussian additive noise. Traditional track filters, such as the Kalman filter, have been well studied for linear tracking applications, but perform poorly for non-linear applications. The particle filter has been shown to perform well in non-linear applications. The particle filter method is computationally intensive and advances in processor speed and computational power have allowed this method to be implemented in real-time tracking applications. This thesis explores the use of particle filters to detect and track stealthy …
