Observer Trajectory Optimization of Maneuvering Target for Bearings-only Tracking

摘要

An approach to observer trajectory optimization for maneuvering target is proposed in this paper through minimizing the cost function based on Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) related with uncertainties of state estimate. Computer simulation results demonstrate that the significant improvement in accuracy can be further achieved through combining observer trajectory optimization with Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) estimator.
