Abstract-The classical particle filter deals with the estimation of one state process conditioned on a realization of one observation process. We extend it here to the estimation of multiple state processes given realizations of several kinds of observation processes. The new algorithm is used to track with success multiple targets in a bearings-only context, whereas a JPDAF diverges. Making use of the ability of the particle filter to mix different types of observations, we then investigate how to join passive and active measurements for improved tracking.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
