A survey of maneuvering target tracking - Part IV: decision-based methods

摘要

This is the fourth part of a series of papers that provide a comprehensive survey of techniques for tracking maneuvering targets without addressing the so-called measurement-origin uncertainty. Part 1 [1] and Part II [2] deal with target motion models. Part III [3] covers the measurement models and the associated techniques. This part surveys tracking techniques that are based on decisions regarding target maneuver. Three classes of techniques are identified and described: equivalent noise, Input detection and estimation, and switching model. Maneuver detection methods are also included.
