Range and angle measurement errors may be correlated when centroid image processing is applied on radar images of extended targets. This paper describes how a model of the correlation between target heading and measurement error can be used to improve the accuracy of tracking filters. The performance of the presented tracking algorithms is tested using a trajectory generator based on jump Markov nonlinear systems.
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.
